The Path of Golconda Addon
The path of Golconda is open to any
possessor of Beastial. The Salubri freely teach it. However,
despite its open nature that does not mean that many learn it.
The path of Golconda is costly costing
10 Freebie points per dot and 50 x level IP to study (50 for first
50 for second). There are 11 levels of Golconda. A Salubri
may also spend his beginning discipline dots on this path.
The path of Golconda has several primary affects:
-
The character suffers no negative affects of Beastial
if their Golconda rating is higher than their beastial rating. Though
they still gain Beastial normally. The character may freely use all
positive aspects of Beastial.
-
The character's difficulty to resist frenzy goes down by
3/level in this ability.
-
The character takes 1d6 less damage from sunlight, fire and
holy objects / 3 levels in this ability.
-
The character's maximum discipline level is equal to their
Golconda rating (or their generation maximum) whichever is higher.
Therefore a 13th generation vampire can use disciplines up to level 5.
If he gains a Golconda rating of 6 then he can use level 6 disciplines.
-
The character has much greater control when willingly frenzying
as long as the Golconda rating is equal or higher than the Beastial rating.
Other aspects of Golconda:
-
If the character's Beastial rating exceeds the Character's
Golconda rating subtract 1 from Golconda rating. (The lost level may be
bought back normally).
-
Golconda level 1 and 2 require a teacher. Even if the
character goes to level 2 after losing one due to Golconda loss as named
above.
-
No more than 25 IP may be gained in Golconda in one week's
time.
