	Humanity is directly related to [[Morality]], the mortal trait which describes a person's relationship to good and evil. For a Vampire the issue is not so much one of mere good and evil, but how closely they can retain a link to the morality that once defined their mortal life, their ''former'' humanity. The less a Vampire can remember of the moral restraints associated with her mortal existence, the more likely she will succumb to her [[Beast]]. As with [[Morality]], Humanity is rated on a scale of one to ten, with one being the most bestial and ten be the most saintly (a state that is probably not attainable by a vampire, short of some versions of [[Golconda]]).

		+	==Relating to Mortals==
		+	The more human a vampire feels, the more human he can act. Every second, mortals send and receive tiny cues that they pay attention to each other, that they care and respond — that they’re alive. They look at each other’s faces, mimic each other’s flickers of expression, shift their weight when another person does so, nod slightly as another person talks. The Man does all that, the Beast doesn’t. A Kindred with low Humanity can put great effort into acting like a living person. He can force himself to breathe and remind himself to blink now and then… '''but he can’t fake that subtle, unconscious dance of nonverbal interaction'''. Mortals soon pick up on this. They cannot consciously spot the problem, but their instincts tell them that something is very wrong and they should get away. They sense the predator behind the human mask.
		+	* As the Man weakens, the Kindred tend to look paler and more corpselike.
		+	* When a Kindred interacts with people other than vampires, a player may use no more dice in [[Empathy Skill\|Empathy]], [[Persuasion Skill\|Persuasion]] or [[Socialize Skill\|Socialize]] pools than his character has Humanity dots.
		+	:: This limitation does not apply to Discipline powers.
		+	:: If a situation imposes penalties on a dice pool, assess the penalties after the Humanity limit is applied.
		+	:: Bonuses cannot raise a player’s dice pool over his character’s Humanity limit.
