Salubri

[Shura]

Regarding the Salubri, I just want to get a few things straight. When a Salubri childe reaches Golconda, the sire commits suicide. There are only a fixed number of Salubri (7, I read somewhere) so I guess they would just be getting weaker and weaker (though golconda would make up for it I guess)?

Also, where did the Salubri antitribu come from? How many of them exist?

Regaurding the Salubri.

When the Salubri reaches Golconda their childer diab's them. So what happens when one vampire diab's another who is of lower gen than they are?

There are no known Salubri Antitribue as far as I know. I haven't read anything about it anywhere. It wouldn't make any sense for there to be Salubri Antitribue considering that they would be going against everything that they're looking and searching for.
I'll see what I can find today.


And yes, there are only 7 Salubri in the world.

Any other questions?

Salubri antitribu are mentioned in the revised lasombra handbook and they have a discipline called valeren.

Valeren (Salubri antitribu only)

While the mainstream Salubri practice a healing discipline, the antitribu instead follow the warrior's path. The third eye appears at the time the second level of Valeren is mastered.

1 • Sense Vitality
The vampire can feel the flow of a subject's life force after touching him. This can be used to determine how much damage a person can withstand before death. It can also aid in medical diagnosis and feeding, as it can reveal infections and diseases. One success identifies the subject as vampire, ghoul, or other creature. Two successes reveal how much damage the subject has suffered. Three successes tell how full the subject's blood pool is. Four successes reveal any diseases in the subject's bloodstream. The antitribu can use this power on herself if if she has injuries but somehow has forgotten how they were received.

2 • Anesthetic Touch
This power may be used to block a voluntary subject's pain from wounds or disease, or to put a mortal to sleep. Physical contact is required. This power can not be used to block the Cainite's own pain. This power allows the subject to enjoy all wound penalties for one turn per success. Cost one bloodpoint and be reapplied once the first one expires, at the cost of another blood point. To put a mortal to sleep, the same system applies. The subject will sleep peacefully and does not suffer nightmares or the effects of any derangement. He may be awaken normally. Cainites are unaffected by this power--their corpselike bodies are too tied to death.

3 • Burning Touch
The vampire touchs the subject, shocking her with a searing pain. This power causes no actual damage to the subject though prolonged exposure to this unnatural pain sometimes leaves victims traumatized. The Salubri antitribu use this power to extract information from their enemies, and also to cause additional pain to those who have hunted and persecuted them before delivering true Final Death. The effects diminish rapidly after the antitribu's hand is removed. Costs one blood point to activate and each blood point spent reduces the victim's dice pools by two.

4 • Ending the Watch
The watch referred to in this power's name is the death watch. An ancient tale refers to two Salubri who prowled the streets of the Second City, granting merciful release to those who suffered and rotted in the streets. If a person truly wished to die, these Salubri would bestow the gift of death. The "Death Angels" were seen as truly divine entities by those who sought their solace. In modern night, the Salubri antitribu use this power frequently, as many nihilistic and desperate individuals seek any escape they can from the bleakness of the Final Nights. The vampire places his hand over the subject's heart and spends a Willpower point. The subject must be willing to end his life, his heart will slowly cease to beat and death becomes an eternal sleep. Subjects of Ending the Watch may not be subsequently Embraced, and none has ever been reported to have become a wraith.

5 • Vengeance of Samiel
By invoking the names of mighty Salubri warriors of nights past, the Salubri antitribu strikes his foe with inhuman force and accuracy. This power causes the third eye to open and glow with a baleful redness. Some antitribu close their normal eyes, signifying their distain for their foes and horrifying them at the same time. This costs 3 blood points. Any single attack made by the vampire automatically hits the target as mystic forces guide the blow. Attacks made in this manner may not be dodged, though they may be blocked, parried or soaked as normal. This power does not work for ranged weapons, only bare hands or melee weapons.

6 • Blissful Agony
The vampire may cause pain with a mere touch, as per Burning Touch, but this pain lingers and swells even after the touch is removed. If applied with enough intensity, this power can drive vampires to frenzy, incapacitate lupines and kill mortals outright. Costs one blood point and lasts for one scene. At the vampire option, she may cause physical damage to the victim at the rate of one health level per blood point spent, though touch must be maintained for this to happen. Damage to vampires and other supernatural creatures vanishs at the next sunset, but mortals must heal the damage normally. This damage is considered lethal, and it may not be soaked by mortals. To induce a frenzy, the Salubri must cause damage in access of the subject's Willpower.

Good call.

I'd have to say it would depend on the chronicle and where you're playing.

Did you want to be a Salubri Anti?
-wonders-

[Jayce Vallintine]

No, Salubri Antiribu is Sabbat. An Elder Salubri [Forgets name] turned against the rest and embraced a few more, and so on. They are not allowed just for the fact they are sabbat. Plus we are playing through the Week of Nightmares so no Antiribu exsist yet.


That is about what I know on them, although I do have the Sabbat book, and they are in there. I am just not wnating to read it yet.. Its been awhile.


Also I requested a forum already. Soon the game is coming together.

[Shura]

This isn't about your RP. This is just to clarify some stuff for my own chronicle at home. I dont much like the idea of salubri antitribu either, but was curious.

Another thing I've hread mentioned but not explained in various sabbat books. Who or what are the Harbingers of Skulls?

[Jayce Vallintine]

They are the Necromancers in the Sabbat. I would have to take a look in the Sabbat book, but they basicaly decend from The first Necromancer, [Can't remember the name].

[Shura]

I was thinking they might be a Cappadocian or Giovanni bloodline. They seem to be in this WoD card game but cand find any actual V:TM info on them.

[Jayce Vallintine]

OK, they decended from the Cappadocian but the Cappadocians are gone now. They where all killed of from the Giovanni. They are in the Sabbat Guide, not the Core book.

[LittleBano]

Info on the Cappadicians is also in the Dark Ages book. That's actually where they first came to be. If you look at the Sabbat book there is a bloodline called the Harbingers of the Soul (I believe) that are oddly reminicent of the Caps, but they are marked as non-player character bloodlines for many, many reasons.

[Shura]

recently obtained sabbat handbook, so that;s cleared up. Thanks for all help though.

[GIR]

Salubri still lives, just been sleeping for a long time. anfter the big Fight.

and getting the dark age Salubri clan book would be cool to read. but its so hard for me to get DA:VTM at a good price around here.

[Shura]

Hasn't Saulot taken over the body of Tremere? I beleive he is an active antedivulian.

[EK - Shadow of Death]

Where is this written? I've only read speculation (in Clanbook Tremere), but nothing definitive...
