Does anyone know, why Camille Devereux was replaced by the identical Raven
in V:TES? I have always wondered that.

The art on Camille was very close to a copyrighted image.
When they replaced the art, WotC decided to change the name of the card
as well.

Did they have to do that? Or was it just a choice on WOTC? Didn't
know if keeping the name would have also given them problems.

Also, just out of curiosity, when creating the VERY needed 5 cap
Tremere/!Tremere, why did they end up with the same exact disciplines?
Couldn't one have been AUS dom THA and the other AUS DOM tha. I
just get real annoied when the sabbat vampires are just carbon copies
of the camarilla with different names.

I think the reasoning was simply because the Tremere have lacked a low
capacity Vampire with superior auspex since day one. The Aisling/Hannigan
combo was something the warlocks really needed.

Well, before that, what's the cheapest you could get AUS THA? 8-cap,
sadly. I suppose they could have given one of them a special ability to
make them different, but I'll take the Dominate, thankyouverymuch.
See also old threads about: "Telepathic Tracking being no good for the
!/Tremere." Note the improvement. =)

I'm not saying there is anything wrong with that, but look at this.
Whats the cheapest you can get DOM AUS? working with tremere or
!tremere thats 8! Other clans don't have the problems of the tremere.
They finally got some guys with AUS, why double up on AUS THA? It
would have been easy to make one THA and the other DOM? I like
tremere, but I can't figure out why make them both the same? Hell you
could have made them AUS THA for, and AUS THA dom and that would have
been fine with me! :)

I agree with some of the others how having both of the vampires AUS dom THA was
really good for both clans (Tremere and !Tremere). The Tremere clans really
could have used such reliable mid-caps. And while one "AUS dom THA" and one
something else decent would still have helped a lot, producing two "AUS dom
THA"'s provides an excellent, sturdy foundation for many Tremere decks.

One thing I am annoyed by however is that Aisling gets a special (however
useless) and Hannigan does not. I know it's probably b/c Aisling is a signature
character, but I don't see why this means White Wolf should play favorites...

their own?

Camille and Raven are both entirely separate and unique vampires, yes.
