Recommended choices

Priorities

  • Build Charisma/Manipulation + Leadership and Politics.
  • Invest in Fortitude for survivability as the face of the coterie.
  • Establish domain and influence early in the chronicle.

Play tips

  • Lead from the front in social scenes; delegate violence to specialists.
  • Use Dominate sparingly — overuse creates resentment in the fiction.
  • Your feeding restriction is a built-in story hook. Lean into it.
