House Rules
Disciplines
There are House Rules for certain Disciplines and these will be posted on the Norwich Sabbat forums. Log in and you will have access to forums for your In-Clan disciplines and any others you have learned. Any problems with this please contact the Refs via the board or email sabbat_sts@yahoogroups.com.
Paces vs. Strides
In combat, characters may take up to 3 paces and still act, or 5 paces and not act (small actions like drawing a gun, or talking on a phone will be permitted). These are normal walking-down-the-road paces, and not exercises in how far apart you can get your legs. The Celerity power of Alacrity gives you an extra 2 steps on top of each of these (5 places and still act, or 7 paces and not act).
Health levels
All starting vampire characters have Health Levels as follows. Characters start at ‘healthy’. It is possible to gain extra health levels during the game but these come at a cost.
- Healthy
- Bruised
- Bruised
- Wounded
- Wounded
- Incapacitated
- Torpor
Willpower
You can spend 1 Willpower to refresh all of your attributes in one category (Physical, Mental or Social). You may spend 1 Willpower to refresh all of your Abilities. There is no limit to the number of Willpower Points that can be spent in this way.
The “I’ve Got a Gun, you Haven't” Retest

- the target is not engaged in any form of combat
- the target is not in any form of cover
