Blood Potency 10

Key facts

Level

10

Overview

Blood Potency 10 is reserved for Caine, the first vampire and the source of every drop of vitae in the setting. Whether he exists at all is a question the game deliberately never settles: the Church of Caine preaches his return, the Bahari revere Lilith instead, and most Kindred treat both as theology rather than fact. As a rating this is a statement about the world, not a character sheet. Everything a vampire is, from the Hunger to the clan curses, is described in Kindred scripture as descending from one cursed murderer, and this level is where that descent begins.

How it works

Blood Surge Bonus: Unbounded within the fiction Mend Amount: Cannot be meaningfully injured by anything the rules describe Power Bonus: The origin of Disciplines rather than a user of them Feeding Penalty: Undefined; scripture disagrees with itself on whether he still feeds Bane Severity: The original curse, from which all clan banes are said to descend Discipline Max: Not applicable

Tips and playstyle

Who Has This: Caine alone, if he is real at all Advantages: None to plan around; this is myth, not a build Disadvantages: Any appearance ends the chronicle, which is why Storytellers keep him offstage
