Vampire Backgrounds

Generation
A high Generation rating may represent a powerful sire or a decidedly dangerous taste for diablerie. If you don't take any dots in Generation, then you are a 13th Generation by default.
1 12th Gen: 11 blood pool, 1 point per turn.
2 11th Gen: 12 blood pool, 1 point per turn.
3 10th Gen: 13 blood pool, 1 point per turn.
4 9th Gen: 14 blood pool, 2 points per turn.
5 8th Gen: 15 blood pool, 3 points per turn.

Retainers
Not precisely allies or contacts, your retainers are servants, assistants, or other people who are your loyal and steadfast servant for the right incentive. Basically, they're contacts who are In the Know. Each dot in retainers represents one individual.

Herd
You have built up a group of mortals from whom you can feed freely. A herd can take many forms, from circles of kinky clubgoers to actual cults built around you as a god-figure. Your herd might come in handy for minor tasks, although they are typically not very controllable. Your Herd rating adds to your dice rolls for hunting.

Rituals
This is a Sabbat-specific background. You know the ritae and rituals of the Sabbat and you can enact many of them. This background is vital to being a pack priest, as without it, ritae will not function.
1 - You know 3 auctoritas ritae
2 - You know 9 auctoritas ritae and 3 ignobilis ritae.
3 - You know all auctoritas ritae and 9 ignobilis ritae. Given enough time, you may create your own ritae.
4 - You know all auctoritas ritae and 20 ignobilis ritae, can create your own ignobilis ritae, and are familiar with the functions of numerous regional and pack-specific ignobilis ritae.
5 - All auctoritas ritae, 40 ignobilis ritae, create your own ignobilis ritae, and are familiar with nearly all regional and pack-specific ignobilis ritae. If it's been written down or passed around in lore, you've heard of it.
