Note that the clan weakness is still in flux. I want to see some of this in play. In watching the feedback from the previous discussion (290 posts at present count!), one common thread that kept emerging was the dependency of the Tremere on blood. That really seemed to resonate, so this reworked clan weakness moves a little more in that direction than my previous suggestion of starting with a blood bond.
While I expect the debate to continue, I have to say that this works a bit better in my opinion. It preserves the original setting element of the weakness while adding a system that makes the situation more significant. And, best, it reinforces the iconic Tremere temperament and pyramid paranoia.
(We drop the susceptibility to Dominate employed by clan elders, but I don’t think that’s a huge loss, as it only showed up in the revised edition anyway. It wasn’t exactly broken, but in the interests of keeping the weakness concise, I pared it away.)
Let’s keep talking.
