Things that are not up for discussion.

We are not using weapons are deadly.

We are not using armoury reloaded.

We are severely limiting Thaumaturgical paths available as we will have to convert them ourselves.

We are not using Predators taint. It is setting inappropriate.

Vampires appear on camera as per usual in the OWoD. You cannot burn a willpower to avoid this.

Clans have their conversion of OWoD flaws, not the NWoD flaws, with the exception of Tremere as per the White Wolf conversion document. More on that later.

Being one of the only 2 Tremere pc's in play atm, may I have a link to the conversion doc pls? Kinda curious

Seeing as it's the official White Wolf 'Vampire Translation Guide' no, we can't post it here in it's entirety for copyright reasons and I don't actually have a link to it anyway.

The relevant section reads as follows;

"...[Tremere] don't have a Clan Weakness - the one listed in Vampire: the Masquerade is dependent on societal circumstance, not on any inborn property of the blood."

Sweet, answered the question. Thx.

*cough* Already have it. *cough*

As for no armoury reloaded, ruling out all the combat styles from the book if decide to include combat styles, for example sword and shield or two handed weapon, as the methods of combat which don't have an associated style lack the boost in power (extra damage, more attacks, defence reduction)
I agree with skipping most the book, deadly weapons makes combat far too lethal, and many of the other alternative rules are just weird

The armoury reloaded thing was more for the weapons & hacks. We'll have to consider fighting styles as appropriate, thanks for noting and differentiating.
