}}Every Kindred must have a place to safely spend the day, called Haven, but your character has invested additional time and resources into its development. A Haven can be almost any place your character may conceivably live in: a mansion, an abandoned train in a subway tunnel, a maintenance room in the sewers - anything you can come up with.

'''Special: Shared''' Several characters may share a Haven. To do this, allocate a dot in this Merit to a shared Haven after gaining it or pool some of the characters' dots together when deciding to share a Haven. If your character leaves the shared Haven later, their points are subtracted from the shared rating, but the character themselves gets back one point less than they invested.

When a character spends Merit dots or XP on Haven, they must choose how to allocate new Haven dots among three factors: Location, Security, and Size.

==Clarification==
There has been a long term misconception that the elements (Size/Security/etc) of the Sanctuary (Haven/Sanctum/Hollow) Merit are separate Merits. They're a single Merit. If you have Haven(Security) 2 and want to buy Haven(Size) 1, you need to pay 6 XP, not 2. Also, please note that we deviate from RAW by allowing Sanctuary (Security) to exceed 5. There is no limit on Security.
* <span STYLE="color: red;">'''The Wrong Way'''</span>: Haven (Size) 1 (2xp) + Haven (Security) 2 (6xp) = 8xp
* <span STYLE="color: green;">'''The Right Way'''</span>: Haven with Security 1 (= 2 exp), Size 1 (= 4 exp) and Location (= 6 exp) = 12 exp

<big>This is not a House Rule. It's been addressed by devs on forums, and is clearly documented by RAW example.</big><ref>[[Strange Alchemies]], "[[Shabti]]"</ref>

{{VHR|In the Edge of Darkness game setting, if a character takes a haven above {{dot2}} without [[Subinfeudation|the Right of Tenancy]] they are considered squatting, because of establishing a "haven of note" without the permission of the land holder. }}

==Size==
{|
|Dots
|Size
|-
|●
|an equivalent of 1-2 rooms
|-
|●●
|an equivalent of 3-4 rooms
|-
|●●●
|an equivalent of 5-8 rooms
|-
|●●●●
|an equivalent of 9-15 rooms
|-
|●●●●●
|an equivalent of a large estate: many buildings, countless rooms.
|}

==Security==
Each dot in Haven(Security) subtracts one die from any attempts to intrude into the Haven. Also, each dot adds 1 Initiative to the defenders in combat.
{{VHR|Security Dots are not limited to 5}}

==Location==
Per the [[Vampire_House_Rules#Vitae_Pools|Average Vitae Pool]] House Rule, Each dot in Haven(Location) adds 1 Vitae to your character's average blood pool at the beginning of each scene.

==Occultation==
* See [[Occultation]]
