Rarity Adjustments: Clans
The clan rarity system is designed to reflect the population numbers of various clans in the Camarilla setting on a chronicle scale. The appearance of a clan on this list does not mean that said clan can be a member of the Camarilla, but that it can appear in the setting. For example, the Giovanni are listed as an Uncommon Clan in the Camarilla setting, but the setting clearly states that they are not allowed membership in the Camarilla.
In SBM the following clans are considered “pillar clans” of the Camarilla: Brujah, Malkavian, Nosferatu, Toreador, Tremere, and Ventrue. Note that a clan’s status a pillar clan does not mean the clan is common in the setting.
Only the clans and bloodlines listed here are available for player characters. The merit costs indicated on this page are the total cost for the bloodline. Staff approval is required for Uncommon, Rare, or Very Rare options.
Common (Available at No Cost):
A setting’s common clans are the most appropriate for play in this setting. There is no additional cost for playing these clans in SBM:
Uncommon (2 point merit):
Your character is a member of an uncommon clan, one that is not ordinarily found in in this setting. You will find few other individuals of your clan within this setting, and you may therefore be something of an outsider, who enjoys fewer benefits than those clans that are considered proper members of society.
- Assamites: Vizier
- Gangrel: Coyote
- Giovanni
- Followers of Set
- Malkavian: Ananke
- Malkavian: Knights of the moon
- Toreador: Ishtarri
- Tremere: Telyav
- Ventrue: Crusader
Rare (4 point merit):
Your character is a member of a rare clan, one found very infrequently in this setting. Such characters may be loners, outcasts, or solitary observers of society, and they may be treated poorly or shunned by the rest of the characters in play.
- Assamites: Warrior
- Cappadocians: Samedi bloodline only.
- Daughters of Cacophony
- Gargoyles
- Lasombra antitribu
- Salubri: Healer
- Tzimisce: Old Clan/Carpathians bloodline only.
Very Rare (6 point merit)
Assamite Alteration for SBM
Assamite Bloodline "Vizier" is the default, they are more common in our setting. Assamite Bloodline "Warrior" is more rare in our setting.
Cappadocian Alteration for the Camarilla Setting:
The Cappadocians are virtually unknown in the Camarilla setting. However, a tiny handful of members from the Samedi bloodline exists within the Ivory Tower, working as bodyguards and muscle for elders. Thus, the Samedi bloodline is the default clan for the Cappadocians in the Camarilla setting.
Salubri Alteration for the Camarilla Setting:
The Salubri are often hunted down by the Tremere in the Camarilla. There has been a resurgence of the Salubri warrior bloodline in the Sabbat, but most of those still hiding in the Camarilla are the Healer bloodline. Thus, the Healer bloodline is the default within the Camarilla setting.
Tzimisce Alteration for the Camarilla Setting:
The Tzimisce clan hates the Camarilla. However, a small brood of the Carpathian bloodline is making subtle gestures of peace toward the Ivory Tower, sending emissaries to watch the Camarilla’s gatherings and evaluate its leadership. Thus, the Carpathians bloodline is the default for the Tzimisce within the Camarilla setting.
