True Faith in World of Darkness

[Gregori]

For the past three months I have been playing a character with True
Faith in a WoD:Masquerade game. As the character developed, the need
arose for more varied abilities than listed in the The Masquerade books.
One attempt has been made to convert the system available in the V:tM
Hunters Hunted book, but the original conversion was unsuccessful. If
anyone has any ideas on a successful conversion method for Faith (or if
possible, for V:tM system in general) please post it.

-Thank you

Our local group, Madison By Night, felt the need for Merits and Flaws
in Mind's Eye Theature. We were very disappointed with the expansion
book, The Player's Guide, so we wrote our own conversion. The text
follows:

True Faith (3 Trait Merit)
This merit may be bid as counter magic. If a player with True
Faith strongly presents their holy symbol against a vampire, the
vampire must make a social challenge to approach within or
remain within twenty feet. The vampire should role-play being
forced away by a powerful, painful force.

The reference to counter magic is for Mages (we wrote a set of rules
for them, it's working iffy at the moment). Sorry it's not real
detailed, but it's worked for us. As soon as I get time to go over
the rules again, I'm sure it will become more detailed.

Oh, if anyone cares, Madison By Night has a home page. It's currently
at:
http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~desmet/mbn/MadisonByNight.html
Over Christmas break (Dec 23-Jan 20) I lose access to that account and
the site will move to:
http://yar.cs.wisc.edu/~chaos/mbn/MadisonByNight.html
Hopefully the site will return by January 20.

On our site you'll find details about Madison By Night and a copy
of Into the Night, a set of rules we've come up with to handle
various problems and unexpected difficulties. Coming soon will
be an html version of our conversion of Mage: The Ascension. Please
do _NOT_ email me asking for it, I do _NOT_ have a copy yet. I
will be posting here and putting it on the Web site as soon as possible.

The group I play with in Atlanta has been "working on" rules for hunter
special abilities, like true faith, hedge magic, and so on. We're
not ready to adopt them yet, but hopefully will be real soon now.

I'd really like to hear your experiences with The Hunters Hunted, especially
since you said it was "unsuccessful". Maybe we can avoid some of the
mistakes you made.
