This is a tough game. Multitasking is definitely a must. Rowan I think played as a Toreador. Lucca and myself also played as a Torry. The game goes so differently depending on how you spend you xp and money. I agree with Rowan about melee, if it fits your personality and clan. I forgot about potence and my range was low. I didn't spend xp there because I was so good at melee. I could sneak up anyone and steal right out from under them. Zanthia, your playing a Tremere? I think that would be interesting because they are into blood rituals; Thaumaturgy. I thought this game is so complex I didn't need to deal with magic. I will be following your progress to see how the experience is. Rowan, don't give up. Did you play Redemption. It is hard to keep these games straight.
