📋 About This Mod

✅ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
✅ Installation
✅ ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

This attempts to make the game closer to its Pen and Paper roots by altering the Discipline effects and adding more Clan selection options.

  • ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  • Installation
  • ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Make sure you have the official version 1. 2 patch installed (D2D and Steam versions of the game come with it pre-installed).

Now, just open the "READ THE README FIRST.exe" file and, when it asks, select your main Bloodlines directory. To skip the opening cutscenes, extract the file provided in the "Skip Opening Movies folder" to your Vampire/Python/Theater directory.

If you don't like the models I chose for the Female versions of the new clans, the original versions I used can be found in the backup folder.

Recommended Order:

1. Default Game 2. Official 1. 2 Patch (D2D and Steam versions of the game come with this already installed) 3. Unofficial Patch Plus or Unofficial Patch Basic or Unofficial Patch Stripped or True Unofficial Patch 4. P&P Mod 5. P&P Combat Mod

This is unlikely to work with any gameplay-altering Mods not listed above.

  • P&P Mod Description
  • ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is a rather basic mod that attempts to make the game closer to its Pen and Paper roots. Most of the changes in here are relatively minor:

- All clans now start with the ability to buy one of either Celerity, Fortitude, or Potence (depending on clan) if they couldn't buy those Disciplines before. I would've made all available, but that disables use of the hotkeys.

  • Discipline costs have been altered as follows:
  • Animalism - Levels 3-4 cost 1, levels 1, 2, and 5 have no cost.
  • Auspex - No blood cost for activation.
  • Blood Buff - Costs 3 Blood. Adds +1 Strength and +2 Dexterity. Extended duration.
  • Celerity - No changes.
  • Dementation - Level 1 has no cost, levels 2-4 cost 1, and level 5 costs 2.
  • Dominate - Levels 1, 2, and 4 have no cost, levels 3 and 5 cost 1.
  • Fortitude - Adds dice to you soak pools. No blood cost, semi-permanent effect.
  • Obfuscate - No blood cost, extended duration.
  • Potence - No blood cost, near-permanent effect. End with F8.
  • Presence - No blood cost, altered durations.
  • Protean - Extended effect, adds +1 Per instead of +1 Wits, end effect with F8 key.
  • Thaumaturgy - All levels cost 1 blood.
  • Slight changes to Feat requirements:
  • Hacking - Determined by Intelligence + Computers
  • Intimidate - Determined by Manipulation + Intimidation
  • Persuasion - Determined by Charisma + Subterfuge
  • Slight changes to starting Attribute/Ability points for certain clans
  • Removed extra graphical effects from Fortitude and Potence that appeared on the character.
  • Stamina now adds to your Lethal Soak, as well as your Bashing Soak.
  • Incorporated an altered version of Wesp's restored Blood Heal Discipline.
  • Removed Health Regen gained by Feeding, and drastically slowed down auto-healing.
  • ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  • Blood Heal Description
  • ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

After activating it, within a few seconds you'll get a rather large Health Buffer and it will look as if you were nearly fully-healed. Once the Discipline ends (within ~9 seconds), the buffer will be removed and you'll be left with your newly healed Heath Level, minus any damage you took while the buffer was in place.

So, while it may at first glance look like a cheat, it isn't. It's quite possible to die when the buffer is removed if you've taken more damage then you've healed.

  • ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
  • Camera Controls
  • ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

To change the camera you must be in 3rd person view. Here is what each key on your numpad does:

"-" : Zoom Out "+" : Zoom In "Del" : Take a screenshot "0" : Pause the game "1" : 45 degrees "2" : Normal view (0 degrees) "3" : 315 degrees "4" : 90 decrees "6" : 270 degrees "7" : 135 degrees "8" : Front view (180 degrees) "9" : 225 degrees
