Ventrue - Version Differences

Version Differences

In 1st and 2nd Edition, Venture antitribu possess Auspex, Dominate and Fortitude as in-clan Disciplines. Revised edition changed their Disciplines to Presence, Dominate, and Fortitude like the main clan. Some 1st and 2nd edition books will thus present Ventrue antitribu characters with Auspex and little or no Presence. The antitribu was also first describe as a bunch of wiseguys and low-lifes, an antithesis to the 'blue-blood' concept of the main clan. In the Rev. Edition the antitribu are instead those Ventrue who did not approve the change from nobility to merchant the mainclan chose.

The discrepancy can be dealt with by assuming that the Ventrue-antitribu exist as two pseudo-bloodlines sharing the same name. One is a true bloodline in having a different Discipline spread, the other is a bloodline based primarily on social conditions. They are sufficiently difficult to tell apart (due to possessing the same weakness) that they never completely split into two separate bloodlines.
