Coterie Type

COTERIE TYPES

The coterie pool begins with one free dot per player character. Players may also contribute their own characters’ Advantage dots to the coterie pool. Players spend the coterie pool collectively, although in some groups, each player controls their own contribution. The coterie can also purchase coterie Flaws to get more dots for the coterie during coterie creation. Every player must agree in order for the coterie to take a Flaw. Example coterie types include:

BLOOD CULT

Formally condemned as violations of the Masquerade, blood cults have nevertheless resurged with the coming of Gehenna. This coterie entices mortal worshippers, feeding them vitae or just enslaving them. Many blood cults reveal enough supernatural truth (though not always vampiric lore) to alert the Second Inquisition, adding yet more implacable foes.

CO-OP

In their long unlives, vampires experience times of thick and thin. The aged ancilla may have suffered a century of sparse funds just in time for their investments to finally start to pay off. The youthful fledgling may have cultivated a wide social circle in life that their less humane brethren are incapable of formulating. This group has entered into a mutual agreement based on give-and-take. Moocher and freeloaders need not apply.

• Domain: Chasse (••) and Portillon (••)
  
  
• Resources: (••)
  (A communal "petty-cash" fund.)
  
  
• Status Flaw: (•) Notorious
  (Your group is known to hoard amongst your clique, leading others to automatically feel excluded.)
  
  

Possible extras: Herd, Allies, Contacts

SUPPORT GROUP

The transition from life to undeath is a tumultuous one. The majority of fledglings given the Curse of Caine succumb to Wassail within their first century — those who endure, do so largely with the support of others. Support groups, taking their name and organization from any number of programs available within the mortal world, group for solidarity, but also for accountability.

• Herd: Chasse (••)
  (Accumulated vessels deemed safe for feeding.)
  
  
• Haven: (•)
  (A small, private location for group meetings.)
  
  
• Mawla: (••)
  (An older, experienced Kindred, willing to dispense advice and guidance.)
  
  
• Resources: (••)
  (Liquid assets, sometimes necessary for cleanups and bribes.)
  
  
• Enemy: (••)
  (Someone in the group has made a mistake and attracted the attention of a vengeful mortal.)
