| Linguistics | Each dot of Linguistics allows the character to read, write and speak fluently in another language outside of the default two they already know, which is their native language and the language of the Domain. | (••) Illiterate | The Character cannot read nor write and their Science and Academics Skills may not go beyond 1 dot. |
SCARCITY OF BACKGROUNDS
This is an optional mechanic introduced in Chicago By Night: Let the Streets Run Red, specifically for Kindred living in smaller towns where a Storyteller may decide the number Backgrounds given the smaller population.
Contacts — A certain amount may be rewarded freely, but largely the rest are opposed with other Kindred of the domain.
Influence — Similar to Contacts scarcity, but also attempts to grow Influence come with the need for defense rolls. Online or location-agnostic Influence may not be affected depending on the storyteller.
Herd and Feeding — Storyteller may have Herd operate in a limited size, migrating Herd face a degree of fluctuations, and failed hunts may have repercussions for the wider setting.
Haven — Kindred struggle in sharing the prime real estate in this setting.
