History Headscratchers / VampireTheMasqueradeBloodlines

*** No, from the gamebooks only the Nosferatu change their appearance merely from being embraced. A few clans have physical changes that can or will happen later (Gangrel can take on an animal feature every time they frenzy, Assamites skin turns slowly darker as they age until they look like living obsidian and Tzimisce tend to use Vicissitude to change their appearance by choice) but only the Nos get changed straight away. The stereotypical looks for clans is just personal preference; Toreador usually like pretty people, Bujah tend to admire physical strength etc. Even that is far from universal, there's a but in the Revised Edition rulebook featuring a Toreador who is apparently so ugly the vampire she's meeting with thinks the Nosferatu look better by comparison.

** It's been mentioned in plenty of [=VtM=] fiction that one of the [[IncrediblyLamePun dead]] give-aways that a vampire is dead is that their breath doesn't mist up the air during winter. There are two ways vampire's get around this; one is to spend blood to mimic that effect, and the other is to smoke so people can see that they're breathing. Plus, Jack could just smoke because he likes smoking (or because he'll one day be turned into a [[{{WesternAnimation/Futurama}} robot that bends things and has a taste for cigars.]])

*** The difference between a pack of rabid dogs and a Grizzly Bear. The word on everyone's lips was Antediluvian, and they have neither need nor desire to be subtle when quenching their almost bottomless thirst. So yeah, I guess somebody who didn't believe that there was either a dead king or an Antediluvian could logically believe what you suggest, but when all the elders in the city are getting jumpy because of it, and not for the 'breaking the Masquerade' reason, it would be a little harder to think that there wouldn't be one.

** Indeed, Werewolf the apocalypse DOES state that any blood from a werewolf will be normal human blood (or wolf-blood in wolf form). The fact is that vampires, the race whose whole society is BASED upon blood, don't know this. To not mock any vampire further, drinking werewolf blood is PCP for vampires, so it makes sense they think it does the same for humans.

* As cool as it is to fight it, ditto. Rokea are a bit weaker than garou in their warforms ( werewolves get +4 to strength, Rokea only +3) but they still are tough cookies to fight none the less. Could be that a werewolf MIGHT be using a fear-gift to make your vampire unable to fight it.

* Actually, if you understand why that is such a bad move, you'll understand the point of the ending. The fledgeling is committing a social (and maybe even literal) suicide. Remember that even if they've been fairly self-sufficient through the game,they still benefited from both Anarch and Camarilla. Now they have no one. Through the game, it becomes very clear why you need allies, but also how raw the unlife is. So the fledgeling is trading a longer unlife to a blaze of glory. Consider what they've done so far, it is fairly IC.

Is it just me, or does Cabbie's voice change as the game progressive

* If you're wondering where the bullet went, the body is a vampire and the single bullet can't kill the body, only one or the other personality inside it

* And as for the clothes lying around, who's to say those were the clothes either character was wearing, could be that all the clothes are your sires and they are just a slob.

*** It's possible that they have other ''antitribus'' that just shares the same skin as the Brujah ones. The game had a messy development and maybe it would've been different if it went smoothly. For example, the "Brujah" in Santa Monica that disappears if you get too close could be a Malkavian or a not-so deformed Nosferatu, as Brujahs (especially Shoveheads) don't have Obfuscate. The one that breaks the 4th wall in the Downtown cutscene could also be Malkavian.
