Interested in using Curseborne underlying systems, maybe lore and world, and powers, but want to incorporate the Clans from Vampire: the Requiem?

I’m also interested in this, since I adore VtR and consider it the best Vampire game around.

Looking over the spells in Curseborne, if i were going to do this, I would assign one Practice per Clan as their “unique” Practice/Discipline.

I’d have them start with a Spell from their Unique Practice, their Secret Spell, and then whatever they like from the Commons.

Since I’d be focusing very heavily on Vampires to the exclusion of other Lineages, I will be pilfering their powers. 😆

Ventrue / Heir

  • Iron Edict

    Secret Spell: Incorporeality>Shared Senses

Mekhet

  • Smoke & Shadow

    Secret Spell: Illusion>Overload

Nosferatu

  • The Stranger

    Secret Spell: Metaphysics>Haunted Ground

Gangrel

  • Mutable Form

    Secret Spell: Mayhem>Implacable Pursuer

Daeva / House Bathory

  • Emotional Manipulation

    Secret Spell: Mayhem>Archonic Voice

COMMON

  • Physical Perfection
  • Vital Force
  • Depthless Fury
  • Consuming Siphon
  • Metaphysics>As Smoke
  • Incorporeality>Soul Scry

Let me know if this interests you! What would YOU do?—

    i will say that mostly i will be attempting to run Curseborne with RAW. to lean into the Curseborne approach as much as possible.

    reading it over, there really isn’t much that i strictly feel i need from VtR that is missing.

    sure i may drop some names here or there. Daeva / House Bathory, Ventrue / Heirs, Mekhet / Ascetics. really just missing Gangrel and Nosferatu. Nos may be hard for me to lose, so they may be the one i want to pull in.

    from Kindred mechanics, tho, i think we’re only really missing Blush of Life (which doesn’t seem to be needed in Curseborne), Blood Bond and Predatory Aura.

    Blush of Life you can port as is, just change it to bleed a Curse die, or Hold 1, depending how often you want it to come up.

    do the same for Kindred Senses, but build it off of the +1e the Hungry get at night.

    Blood Bond can actually be incorporated right into the Bond system, so that’s easy

    The Cleansing is more narrative than anything else.

    I also haven’t yet seen a Blood Sympathy analog in CB, so that’s something to keep an eye out for.

    Predatory Aura is a bit more complicated, however. I’ll need more time to mull it over and will post separately about it.
