Could you look at this profile rework?
hi,could you give me some input here please?
you recommended additional points, if you can help me get other mods to answer them too it would be helpful. Thanks
Scuse me, was this scan from the Kohaku route?
And so you remember what day it was, or around what events it was
I'm looking to get started on and publish some Bloodlines profiles soon, what are some feats, stats, and scaling for vampires with Dots 1-6?

Also, shouldn't Antediluvians be just a straight up Low 2-C? After all, the Ravnos Antediluvian can create an alternate universe and survived spirit nukes the shockwaves of which penetrated into the various other layers of reality iirc, and the Lasombra Antediluvian became one with The Abyss

And what's the consensus on the Tchernabog calc? Is the original calc correct, or is one of the suggested corrections in the comments the accepted version?

I've not really deep dived into Dots 1-6 yet, if you have a discord we can start researching that bit together.

As for them being straight up, nah. Reality has only showed up in 1 1st edition book and never again, so I'm dubious on if it's still canon, but nothing has said it's not, so I allow it on a "possibly". Spirit nukes seem much weaker in the Tapestry than the Umbra too, which is why the Planet wasn't exploded when they went off despite a Experimental one devastating the entire Underworld.

AFAIK, yes?
Hi I just made a blog post to hopefully make following a series much easier to follow and clear up misconceptions, any help would be much appreciated


I plan on making another scream match later

Could you take a look at this one thanks

I have an 8-B, 8-A, and 5-B for you now

Does infinite layers of underworld/low umbra qualify for infinite layers into High 1-A? Can you explain dot scaling to me? Don't really understand why it is an infinite hierarchy

Is there a reason why High Umbra is meta and not just qualitative? You mean, since the Underworld (Umbra) sees Tapestry as a shadow, so having many of these structures must be qualitative? Still don't really understand the logic behind this


Sorry for the above wording, I mean is there any statement about infinite dots?

The High Umbra is where abstraction begins to go insane. My blog goes into massive details about it, but things like Plato's Cave for everything below it.

The analogy for the Spires is that the entire umbra is a flat field of wonder while the Spires are the mountains, the mountains are all infinite in size and are infinite recursively refracting as the Tree of Life and so on.

A lot of my blog discusses this in depth so there's no point repeating myself.

As for there being an infinite number of Dots, there's nothing explicit, but we know from entities like The Nameless King that Dots do go upwards into infinity. He has backgrounds, which are far more specified on what they do per dot than Spheres, and has nearly all but a listed few at Infinite.

In terms of what's listed, we are given abilities from Dots 1-9, however, once again, the Nameless King shows us you can go beyond this, as he has Entropy 10. In the game system itself, noting says 9 or 10 is the limit, 10 is what is show for Willpower, but many enemies have 15-20 Willpower.

You can reach any number of Dots, the system doesn't have flat calculations for reaching X dot with EXP, but rather a rule of "6 EXP x current level" to go to the next level. So for Dot 2 to 3 it would cost 12 EXP. Dot 20 to 21 would cost 126 EXP (Which would be an astronomical amount, but entirely do-able)

Wasn't Dots Scaling rejected by Ultima? Or is this thread just outdated? https://vsbattles.com/threads/frick-this-sense-of-deja-vu.66548/#post-2292638
Also what is the exp mechanism (I know it's gameplay) that allows them to reach that tier? AFAIK, any use of something from a lower reality to ascend to a higher reality is automatically an anti-feat of qualitative superiority (or beyond) so...

Q: Are there any disqualifiers for qualitative superiority?

A: The potential disqualifiers largely revolve around the aforementioned aspect of inaccessibility: A qualitative superiority is completely irreducible to anything lesser than itself, and conversely, it cannot be reached by any additive process whatsoever.
The first practical effect of this fact is that the power of a 1-A character cannot be dispersed so much that it reaches into a lower tier. Since there is no conceivable extension of any lower tier that can yield equality to a 1-A structure, neither can there be any subdivision (Even an infinite subdivision) of 1-A that reduces down into such tiers. Unless, of course, this division is somehow non-quantitative in nature (i.e. The results of the division are not actually numerical "chunks" of the character's power); however, this should be made reasonably clear by statements or through background context.
Secondly, a 1-A level cannot be attained by a process in which the lower level quantitatively "adds up" to itself to break through into the higher one, due to the total lack of structural continuity between the two; the higher level cannot be attained, nor expressed by, any expansions of the lower one, and therefore things from the latter cannot interfere with the former by means of their own lower existences. Put simply: A non-1-A cannot reach the level of 1-A by appealing to another non-1-A

Hey, can you take a look at this Low 1-C CRT. We need one more staff vote. You can find a summary in the bottom of Page 4.
