Clanbook: Assamite
This eighth clanbook is the first to deal with the mysterious independent clans. It greatly expands on the
limited information presented in the Vampire Player's Guide, and includes a history of the clan, from the
first city to the present day; the clan's treasures, beliefs, and internal culture; and sample characters
suitable for players and Storytellers. It also features new skills, Quietus powers, and advanced combat
rules; a new four-page character sheet designed specifically for this clan; and the answers to several
mysteries presented in earlier books, with special tie-ins to Dirty Secrets of the Black Hand.

Just got the book today, finished reading it ohhhh about 30 seconds ago and here are my thoughts on it.
The History of the clan is IMHO one of the richest of any of the books. And the lil bit about the
Assamites being founded by a dude who offed 2 SECOND GENERATIONS not covered in the Book of
Nod nor even spoken about. Leads one to wonder just how many seconds there were. The Assamites say
5. It gives the Knights Templer as agents of the Tremere. It also gives the origonal path of blood which *I* think should be used with Assamites
instead of humanity. covers some pretty nasty Alchemical weapons, and one that IMHO is just too damn
powerfull. called Kali's fang it's a punch dagger that if it hits a vampires heart kills him outright. Even if
you miss it does aggravated damage. New levels of Quietus are okish but again they are all Lvl six to
