LSJ made a comment in another post about how if you are Black Hand and then Clan Impersonate to a Camarilla clan, you are now a Cam Black Hand. This got me thinking about the default sect stuff. There was a ruling that Gangrel are now considered Independent as default. This came from the canon that Gangrel left the camarilla. So now Assamites. In canon, they are of all three sects (Cam, Sabbat, Independent). In the card game, if you include legacy or blood, there are some Laibon as well. So anyway LSJ... simple new minor ruling suggestion: When becoming an Assamite (clan impersonation), the controller gets to choose what sect the Assamite becomes. Thoughts on this? Its a minor change but I'm curious...

[ quoted text not captured ] Hmm. My thoughts are the following. It would be a bad change for the following reasons. All clans have a default sect. A single, default sect. For assamites to go against this would create a matter of additional rules, extra rulebook text, undoubtedly some inclarity as well. The change would be minor, and add additional rules to an already rule- heavy game. Since there's no clear reason why this change would fix something wrong in the game, or add to it's playability/fun, I'd be against said change. Change might be good, and beneficial. Change for the sake of roleplaying, adding rules, I'm pretty sure isn't. Cheers, B

The base set of Assamites in the card game has always been independant, that hasn't been changed. Vampires has printed can be of any sect regardless of the base sect of the clan, but the base sect is still the base sect. For example if Tsunda does an Embrace it's an independant Ravnos. If Tsunda clan impersonates another clan, and goes back to Ravnos, he's an independant Ravnos. etc

[ quoted text not captured ] > etc- Hide quoted text - > > - Show quoted text - I know how the "base" sect works. I am just saying that Gangrel was changed to independent to fit with storyline (which the newer gangrel follow). Vtes has shown through the expansions that assamites are of many sects, which also fits into storyline. Currently, if I take the assmamite Olugbenga (laibon) clan impersonate to a different clan, and then clan impersonate back, he is automatically Independent.

Likewise for the Ravnos antitribu (e.g., Anka), Serpents of Light (e.g., Ezekiel), Kinyoni (Tsunda), Xi Dundu (well, Onaedo would revert to Sabbat rather than to Independent, but you get the idea), Lasombra antitribu (Lucita) and so on. Even Angus would revert to Independent if he impersonated a different clan and then becomes Gangrel again.

"X has 2 votes" (or 1 vote, or whatever) is considered a title, just as much as a Prince is considered a title. However, it is not tied to any clan or sect. It is only tied to that vampire being that vampire. If that vampire gains a new title (say, Baron), they will yield the "X has 2 votes" title. If Xavier becomes Sabbat, he still has his 2 votes title. If Mata Hari gets a Writ of Acceptance, she still has her 2 vote title. -- James Coupe PGP Key: 0x5D623D5D YOU ARE IN ERROR.
