I once convinced all my buds in a rotating gm shadowrun game that I needed the extra point to be a physical adept and get combat focus grenades free at the start. The proviso was that whenever I used them I had to call them "shteel hand granat/s" with that cheesy german accent. I was hella op but joke was on me, so was everyone else. When my first turn at gming came around we blew through the carefully thought-out defenses of a burbclave corp lab in about fifteen minutes. Not even moderately severe gmcheating could save the run difficulty. Welp.

In Bloodlines does anyone have a recommendation on how to get past the junkie-vamp boss who floats around the room like Psycho Mantis and shoots you with a shotgun? I put almost all my stats into social buffs and it's Deus Ex: Human Revolution all over again.

Bishop Vick?

Assuming you're Toreador yourself, the answer is to get the biggest gun you can handle and shoot him with celerity and presence on yourself. Not exactly a great solution but it's about the best you can do.

Yeah that rear end in a top hat, I'm pretty sure.

I have a shotgun and I use it with celerity and presence but it's just not enough. He's too fast, I'm too slow, and my shotgun has too much spread to DPS him.

Ugh I was enjoying that game so much too up to that point. At this point it'd probably be easier to just edit the loving code so I can move on.

Here's my recommendation:

Cheat up all of your combat stats because combat in that game is garbage, then enjoy the first 2/3 of the game and uninstall.

IIRC you can cheese the boss with an exploit involving the table.

Goddamn I forgot how many clans there were. I knew a guy that had all the books for the RPG. There had to have been like eight or ten general rules books and one for each clan, and they were like $50 each. I think it broke his heart when he finally talked a bunch of us into playing one time, and within an hour it was like "gently caress this is boring, lets just get high".

I'm at a point in the game where I've done all the other side quests I know of. There isn't more XP to cheese up my combat stats. I'm not going to rerun it either because while it's enjoyable it's still an infamously buggy RPG from 2004 and I'm not wading through menus for another 4 hours just so I can move on.

I'll probably take you up on the 2/3rds part though.

That's only the Vampire books.

Okay so I'm not just mis-remembering or going senile, because I thought he also had ones that covered "Werewolf Etiquette" and a few that dealt with ghosts and maybe something like "The dummies guide to the afterlife". It's good that he had no chance of having children, because he would have spent their future at the hobby shop right along with his own.

There are walls on the left side of the room with holes you can see through. You can use those to make him waste his shots trying to hit because AI. Then when he takes a knee to reload run up and empty into him, rinse and repeat.

Also moving forward while against a wall makes you go faster.

Because there was, OWoD turned out a boatload of dumbshit that wasn't really compatible between genres. Mage, Werewolf, Vampire, Asian Vampires, Hunters, Mummies/Ghosts pretty sure there was some otherkin poo poo in there too.

Because that's what nearly every White Wolf game devolves into. High School clique politics. I know when I think playing monsters and folklore creatures in an RPG I want political maneuvering and not werewolves ripping people's faces off while vampires and wizards are shooting enchanted Uzis at each other. :doom:

White Wolf literally just released an otherkin gameline. It's called beast the primordial and involves fighting with phantom body parts or some poo poo like that.
