VtM - Review: Clanbook: Toreador
All the additional background info they give on Toreador parties: why they're *really* held, what
happens to crashers, etc. There's a pretty graphic picture on page 23 of a party crasher. *OUCH*
[Another Side Note: This is not a book to leave lying around your parent's house. Some of the pictures
are pretty...ummm...dark. Lots of bondage. There seems to be a poster of sorts divided up over several
pages. I may have to hit Kinko's and assemble it so I can get a true understanding of the art of bungee.
wow.]
There are a couple of interesting myths about Arikel. I really liked the one about the great love affair
between Arikel and Nosferatu.
There are nice descriptions of poseurs and artistes. In fact, poseurs are presented as not being complete
fakes, but just not possessing the "true vision" of an artiste. I also liked the new faction: the burnout.
These are toreadors who have surrendered to "self-doubt, insanity, the Beast, depression or worse". From
the description, it sounds like they have 'Ventruified'.
The new skill: Creativity and how it is combined with whatever Expression. It separates the idea and
implementation parts of creating art.
New Disciplines: Level 6 Presence: Air of Elation. Basically, it makes the user incredibly funny. Instant
Robin Willians.
Merits and Flaws: Blase' (3pt merit) Makes the individual resiliant to presence.. COOL!!!! Iron-willed
for presence!! I *LIKE* it!!!! There's also a Greater Colors merit (3pt) that lets you see more colors. At
first this seems silly until you apply it to Aura Perception and then the Vampire can get extra information
just because he or she can *see* so much more....nifty...
