Alongside their Attributes, Skills, and Disciplines, Kindred also have Advantages from before they began the Chronicle. Advantages are broken down into different types — Merits, Backgrounds, Loresheets, and Bloodlines. The opposite end of Advantages are Flaws, which are ongoing problems for the characters.


Unless otherwise stated, Advantages and Flaws without a rating may be taken at any level from • to •••••.


For other Advantages see Loresheets or Coterie Backgrounds and Merits.
