@GF wait, so does that mean Sundance was basically telling these appers ‘hey, you wanna be born with more nipples? that’s the incentive i’m offering you’.
That checks out, yes.
-
@GF I always knew that nipples were magic and having more of them would make me a sorceress.
-
@Herja Trust me, after feeding your evil black cat familiar twice, you’ll be grateful you have more places for it to feed from so your other nipples can heal between meals.
-
@GF I also need save one for Satan. He gets his own special nipple.
-
@Herja Yeah, yeah, the Satan teat we’ve all seen it.
-
@Pavel That Satan, he’ll show his nipple to anyone, such a hussy.

This checks out with Werewolf: the Forsaken 2e, since the wolf-blooded (no longer JUST breeding stock!) can spontaneously grow a third nipple that you milk majikul energy out of.

@Jennkryst I have never had a strong desire to play WoD until this exact moment. I’m sold.
-
@Herja @Jennkryst My favorite 2e wolfblood merit is second skin where you are born with this sentient fur blanket. You can’t really be away from it too long I think. I always liked the idea of freaking people out, leaving it on random furniture etc. “Oh that? It’s just her birth fur blanket. It breathes and has a heartbeat but don’t worry, it doesn’t bite.”

Too bad when a post is deleted, it doesn’t delete the notification that someone mentioned/replied to you.

@Mourne I was in the middle of reading it when it was deleted. I think they were saying something about Gnosis only being expensive at CG, but I didn’t have time to read it all, so I don’t know if they thought it was relevant to my joke about nipples equating to Gnosis or what.
-
@GF Haha Gnosis only expensive at CG, which is when freebie points are the most powerful thing in the game, cuz merits ARE expensive, as is so many other things…
Wow.
Just wow.

So, in nWoD 2e/CoD/God Machine/whatever you choose to call it, you can opt to upgrade a normal failure into a critical failure, for XP.
Tangentially related to that, if you critically fail a willpower roll when resisting Lunacy (the OH SHIT THAT IS A WEREWOLF IT WANTS TO EAT ME roll to not shit your pants), congratulations, something something spirit energy something something latent DNA something you are now a Wolf-blooded.
I think you can also be born one? I dunno.
I am almost positive that pre-first change Werewolves are still counted as Wolf-blooded, and they got rid of Metis/Lupus of oWoD and Spirit Children of nWoD 1e, so Werewolf/Werewolf pairings can produce Wolf-blooded children (who can later first change).
They also went full Lunar Exalted and added the gender bending power so babies for everyone if you want. Or not.
Anyway, back to the point, when you become a Wolf-blooded, you get a Tell. One of them is aformentioned Third Nipple, which creates a point of Essence (the Mana/Blood equivalent for Werewolves/spitits) that can be milked out every so often.

Gnosis is demonstrably CHEAPER in chargen actually. I have a whole chart on xp costs because I absolutely LOATHE the freebie and dot-based chargen maths.

@junipersky Yup.
WoD is weird and sometimes it’s actually worth dealing with all the other problematic bullshit that comes with the game by default, even before specific games make it tricksier.

You’d think that, but they have custom xp charts, and things like Willpower cost more for Werewolves than it does by the book for ‘fairness’ and ‘balance’ which is completely thrown out the window, all the time… cuz Werewolves need Rage, Willpower, and Gnosis, and most everyone else doesn’t need anything but willpower or Willpower + Arete.
It’s pretty crazy, as is the idea that things not being fair doesn’t hurt anyone. Cuz EVERYONE loves being worthless in a plot cuz someone’s friends with the ST and has a God sheet that nobody else gets access to.
