Last reviewed
Overview
The Sect War Veteran loresheet covers the decades when the Camarilla and the Sabbat fought city by city across North America and Europe. Domains changed hands in a night, packs took whole neighborhoods, and blood hunts were called on anyone whose loyalty could not be proved fast enough. Your character fought through that and learned the practical skills it teaches: how a city is taken, which havens survive a siege, and who breaks under pressure. Those lessons transfer directly to the smaller, colder conflicts of the modern nights.
How it works
Benefits: Combat contacts, knowledge of siege and defense tactics, allies and enemies from both sects Dot Levels: Higher levels mean a larger role in the fighting and a longer list of people who remember you Reputation: Veterans are respected and watched; nobody forgets which side you took
Tips and playstyle
Best For: Combat characters, Sheriffs and Scourges, former Sabbat now living under Camarilla rule Story Hooks: A pack you fought resurfaces; the prince needs someone who has done this before and will owe you for it
Frequently asked questions
Can I have fought for the Sabbat?
Yes. A defector with Sabbat war experience is one of the more interesting characters this loresheet supports.
How old does my character need to be?
Old enough to have been active in the late twentieth century, so at minimum a well-established ancilla.
