Who is this 'Dan Murdock'? Where can the little Bast#@d be found?
Anyone know what he does(ie. abilities, disciplines, ...)?
I have 2 boxes of DS boosters, and other than this mysterious catiff, a
complete set of DS. Any info would be apreciated.

Dan "The Man" Murdoch can be acquired by sending in a coupon that's in
the back of a White Wolf V:TES novel:"On a Darkling Plain". He's a 4 cap.
caitiff with obf. and aus. and as an action can go through controller's library
to get the Giant's Blood and exchange it for a card in your hand.

He's a book promo card, as is the set's mysterious fifth Toreador, Mariana
Gilbert.

WHAT!? He doesn't have Potence? That's pretty stupid!
He sounds more like a Malkavian than a Toreador (in the book, Dan was
embraced by the "Toreador" Methuselah, who cursed him to make him an
outcast...which is why he was a caitiff...he was also stronger than
normal...).

The Toreador Methuselah would be fourth Generation, same as (say) Etrius.
So the new vampire should be Fifth Generation, and he should have a capacity
of 10.
10 point caitiff? Now that *would* be cute.

Also, despite what special ability he may have, there's no way I'd pay
4 pool for a vamp who didn't have either 3 skills or a superior skill nd
a regular skill... Or should that have been OBF and aus (or obf and AUS)?

I've been thinking about this for a while before this thread started.
I don't think Capacity relates exactly to Blood Pool from the RPG -
like Pool form V:TES, it's not always literal.
I'm working wiht the assumption that Generation is approxamately 15
minus capacity, so most caitiff are 14th, 2-bloods are 13th (Most PCs
in the game), and so on, up to the Inner Circle (4th Generation). But
the ability to hold blood in the RPG doesn't progress at the same rate
as V:TES, so there are obviously some discrepencies. Also, a Vampire
doesn't get older or go up a Generation when he learns a new dicipline
(Gets a skill card).
My resolution: Blood on a Vampire Card is a mix of actual Blood and
resouces, like Pool is for a Methuselah. As a Vampire gets older, it
gets better, learns more tricks, and knows how to do more in Kindred
society. Thus, you can have a very low generation, but naieve
Caitiff, or low-gen, but quick-learning or aged Vampire with quite a
bit of skill.

This is correct - blood capacity does not always reflect a vampire's
true generation. Yes, it's true that a vampire with more capacity
than another is "older" in it in game terms, even though their
generations might be off; it's just not worth the headache to run
around occasionally saying "Joe Brujah only has 8 blood to due to
generation, and 1 due to status" and things like that.

Yes. This is why the new Praxis Seizures give a prince of the right clan
an extra blood capacity, why Wrath of the Inner Circle chops 1 off the
ex-Justicar's capacity, and so on.
