Vampire: The Masquerade Character Creation: Generation

Generation

How far are you from Caine? How powerful is your blood? This is all very important to your character and your concept, so here's some information on what everything means. Generation means the amount of vampires you are from Caine. When you choose your Generation during the Backgrounds area, each point added to the Background labeled "Generation," you will decrease your character by one Generation.

NOTE: I do not believe in the rules used in 3rd Edition. I do not like the storyline either, but I do not use ANYTHING 3rd Edition on this page. So, if you need that information, I apologize, but I cannot help you.

If anyone sees anything that I have missed, or made a mistake on, please E-mail me immediately so that I can correct the mistakes immediately. Thank you, and enjoy.

The Generation is the number of times removed from Caine one is. The lower the Generation, the more powerful each character is. Below is a table of the basic powers of each Generation. If you wish to learn more about the Generations, click here for a description.

Trait Max Ratings:	This indicates the highest Trait rating a vampire can have. This is especially important when it comes to Disciplines. Note that it is impossible for a player character to have more than a five rating in any Trait, at least at the beginning of the Chronicle.
Blood Pool Size:	Ancient vampires are capable of storing more blood (or its energy) in their system than younger ones. With Third Generation, no one knows the full extent of their Blood Pool Size.
Blood Points Usable Per Turn:	This describes how many Blood Points a vampire can use in a single turn for either extra dice or levels of healing. With Third Generation, no one knows the full extent of their power.
