    There are a few changes to the Requiem game in the pipeline. Some of it has been dropped IC here.

    Acknowledgments
    - Will now be handled by the Prisci (or Whips if the Prisci is not available)
    - Will now be permanent (no 'temp' Acks that need the Prince or Seneschal to rubber stamp them)

    Hunting & Tenancy
    - Will now be granted (and possibly revoked) by Prisci
    - You now have to go QQ at your Priscus if you want a nice Haven or Site
    - Herd development is changed from a Tenancy to a Hunting Right

    Regencies
    - These are up in the air, but consider the only two remaining ones to be those held by Erika and Roxie
    - Since Prisci can grant Rights, there's no reason to go QQ at Regents anymore

    Title Limits
    Whew. Big one. In the past, we've seen title collecting (unintentional) that has kept other pc's from being able to advance and limited lateral conflict. This is a wholly OOC design decision.
    - Going forward, characters will be limited to one 'top-level' city title/position (Priscus, Reeve, Harpy, Seneschal, etc)
    - A character may hold two 'secondary' titles (Deputy + Whip for example)
    Again, this is an OOC decision. If you have a title, don't pursue another unless you're willing to give up the one you've got.
    - This should allow more PCs to gain influence
    - This should allow more options for situation resolution (less log jams)
    - This should create more lateral conflict (more people on even footing)

    Average Vitae Pool
    Base amount equal to Humanity -1 (for Rising)
    +1 per dot in Haven Location
    +1 for Merit: Herd 1-3
    +2 for Merit: Herd 4
    +3 for Merit: Herd 5
    +1 Coil of Blood 1 with Resolve 1-3
    +2 Coil of Blood 1 with Resolve 4
    +3 Coil of Blood 1 with Resolve 5
    +1 Coil of Blood 3
    +2 Rack access
    Subtract:
    -3 Exiled to Barrens
    -1 for every 2 Ghouls (round down)
    -1 No Feeding Glimpse written

    Disciplines & Powers
    - All Vampires gain Heightened Senses
    - Auspex 1 is replaced by Beasts Hackles, allowing the revelation of another Vampire's BP and/or AVP

    Questions? Fire. Away.

    I do have two small things to fire at you, that I want to be sure about:

    - so do all the Racks disappear as well? (and do Prisci hold any power over the Communal Rack?)
    - can you have one top level and one secondary title? (Can I still make scary Baldy my humble Deputy?)
    Not a native speaker - always aiming to improve

    1) I'm still figuring out how the Racks will fit into the the picture.

    2) Nope. One top level title excludes everything else!

    Wouldn’t the racks be muck like the communal. Reeve is in charge of overseeing that all the kindred behave properly within them while hunting. Thus deputies etc on patrols. So the Reeve would have the responsibility of giving the OK for PC X Y and Z rights to hunt there, based off the PCs behavior.


    Just a thought please don’t shoot.

    DP was probably asking about the Racks because of the Average Vitae Pool bonus.

    Do Prisci now have the Right of Destruction over members of their own clan or is that something to be referred to the Reeve/Prince?

    That remains with the Prince.

    Do Prisci have access to the Rack, and is there any change to the Laws of Elysia for them (for example, force for disciplining wayward clan members)?

    The main rack will still be accessible to the court officers. It may expand to include Prisci, or it may end up being a carrot for them. Not sure.

    As for the Laws, I'll most likely update them -- but Discipline is up to the Prisci's discretion.

    I'm only a new bug but wanted to say that the way the game shifts like this is one of the best things about this place. It makes things feel a little more organic and less carved in stone. Just wanted to give a big thumbs up for all the hard work you guys put in.
