This document is pretty straight-forward. I took the Merits and Flaws from Vampire Revised, added in the Merits and Flaws from Guide to the Camarilla and Guide to the Sabbat, and revised them as much as possible to be more universally applicable where it made sense (as well as reorganizing them). I also updated a couple to account for the existence of Awareness, and removed one Merit that was identical to a Background (Alternate Identity).
What I Need: I need folks to use the crunchier Merits and Flaws in playtest and let me know if they still hold up — there are a lot here, and I want to make sure I didn’t miss something. If you know of old rules problems with these in Revised that my rewrite doesn’t fix, that’s cool too. Just reading them and offering thoughts is cool too, but not as helpful as actual playtesting.
What I Don’t Need: Suggestions and ideas on what Merits and Flaws to add/remove/create. This list is already pretty huge, and we’ve had several internal conversations about what needs to go in or not. (Edit: Also, not too worried about efficiency in these. It’s okay if some of these cover the same ground in different ways.)
What I Got: Lovin’. It’s what I got.
