Might as well.. What's the largest-capacity vampire you can have? You may start with any vampire, infinite setup time, and full cooperation from other players. Another rule/hint: The capacity need not be permanent; it might only be during a particular action.

[ quoted text not captured ] Max capacity vampire: 9 + ((40+10*#Meth) * #Meth). Total distinct library cards in all libraries: 2. One is a Succubus Club. The rest are Camarilla Vitae Slaves. For five player games, the max library size is 90, so the max capacity is 9+(90*5) = 459. -- LSJ (vte...@white-wolf.com) V:TES Net.Rep for White Wolf, Inc.

Sigh, I actually thought CVS was unique when I first made up the question.. and now that I read its text one more time, it's not only non-unique, but infinitely stackable since it doesn't actually *give* you the increased discipline. My bad. Damn you and your infinity, VTES! :) My answer was a mere 82, using a single Camarilla Vitae Slave, and the 82-capacity would only be during combat. The vampire was Jack. The rest of the math is pretty straightforward...

That's why it's not 10+(90*5) = 460. > 5 players with camarillia vitae slaves as all there library cards 450 Yes. But one of yours is a Succubus Club, so you get 449. Coupled with your 10 capacity Lasombra, that makes 459 capacity. > You have a Arika and Agritas, scholar of antiquity Agritas to draw off > preys deck until he runs out they oast him and repeat. > > 450 cvs plus 11 cap = 461 But Arika cannot play the Camarilla Vitae Slave. So you either need a Clan Impersonation or use a 10-cap Lasombra instead. Either way will get you 460 (since the use of Agaitas saves you a card slot by eliminating the Succubus Club). Unfortunately, this doesn't work, since each other player will have drawn 7 cards (7 Camarilla Vitae Slaves) that you cannot touch with Agaitas. So your max capacity drops by 7*4 = 28, making 432. So the max remains at 459, using Succubus Club. > but I would do 460 and put a Golconda in my deck :) With Golconda in the deck as well, you'd only reach 458 capacity. [ quoted text not captured ]

Each player has a Lasombra who equips all of the CVS's owned by the respective players. You use either Virgil or Merged Sebastien Goulet to steal everyone else's CVS'. Then you Heidelberg them all to your 11-cap. 11 + 449 = 460 Halcyan 2
