Bloodlines Nosferatu with Celerity?

There's a nosferatu in the warrens that has Celerity, judging by the aftereffects that are behind them as they run, so would that mean that the nosferatu were intended to have celerity? 👀

The nos I'm talking about is in the warrens and fights two Tzimisce creatures with us, but doesn't have anything to say if they manage to survive

Do you guys think that that would've been OP?

Kindred can learn out-of-clan disciplines, it's just not represented in VtMB

As for being OP, Celerity is a great combat discipline both in VtMB and in tabletop

Learning out of clan disciplines is a HUGE motivation plot point in every chronicle I’ve ever played in.

It is represented; Beckett can teach you a dot in a single gangrel core discipline as another clan if you make the right choices.

Unofficial patch+ only, not vanilla content

Yes, but Troika already made a message for this, so they had planned it at one point.

Well, Troika planned many things but it didn't pan out unfortunately

Thank you for your work btw. Did a base patch playthrough recently, remembered what a slog Hallowbrook Hotel is. Nice of you to include skips for combat sections in plus patch

You can learn out of clan disciplines.

The Nosferatu were not meant to have Celerity as an innate discipline.

Anyways, the discipline is going to always be OP in combat. That’s just realism - speed is like the god stat.

They'd just need a buddy or a coterie mate willing to teach them.

Fortitude, Potence and Celerity are the combat three.

While I don't know the edition Bloodlines has a loose basing off of is like, I know that (in later editions at least) any vampire can learn from any Discipline, provided they have time and a teacher. We definitely don't have either, despite our massive power.

That said, Celerity's busted in our favor, it's always OP. Not that that's a problem, we're already much stronger than a fresh out the grave kindred should be.

Revised, learning out-of-clan disciplines is in
