Hello Region of LUV,

Most of you know by know, if you've been reading the news or this mailing list, there was a shooting in one of our domains today. Ft. Hood experienced an open fire by several gunmen, and several were killed, and even more injured.

Let's band together as a region, and reach out to the surviving victims of this horrible tragedy by donating our time and our blood to those who are still fighting to recover and survive.

As per the Prestige Guidelines, Blood Drives instigated by the Camarilla are rewarded as follows:


Donating blood as part of a Camarilla blood drive25 per donation
Includes whole blood and partial blood donations. Partial blood donation refers to aphaeresis, i.e. plasma or platelets. Any monetary compensation must be donated to charity in order to receive the prestige award. Donor must provide proof to their chapter/domain coordinator that the donation of plasma (and money, if applicable) was done.
Transportation for blood drive10 per trip, max 20
Includes transporting two or more members who donate blood. This may not be received in the same month as a donation of blood (see previous).

This drive will go on for the remainder of the month. Please report your donations to both your domain coordinator and me ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ) and our RC Jeremy Brown ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ) and our CoS, Jess Fazio ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ).

Direct any questions to me. Please considering doing what you can to support our domain in need.

Melissa D. Johnson

New MC benefits update PDF Print E-mail

Members

During the development of the chronicle soft-reset this year, a
decision was made to remove Milestone Awards - additional bumps at
every third MC - in an effort to simplify the XP system and to see
what would best suit the needs of the post-reset chronicle.  At that
time, we noted that this decision would be reviewed later in the year.
Starting a few weeks ago, that conversation began again as promised.

That review has happened, and we are pleased to announce that new
Milestone Awards will be implemented in the December update of the
Global Universal Addendum (12/15/09).  To whet your appetite, we are
letting you know now what those awards will be with an excerpt from
the draft Addendum.

Thank you for your patience during this period of adjustment.  We hope
you are looking forward to this as much as we are!

IV. EXPERIENCE POINTS

B.    Membership Class Experience Points

1.     Primary Characters:

a.     Add 10 XP per MC at creation.

i.      Example: At MC 5 a Primary character receives 50 XP.

b.    In addition, Milestone awards are added as follows:

i.      MC 1 – The character is awarded 20 additional experience
points. This award is added during the MC XP phase of character
creation.

ii.     MC 3 – Specialized:  Three additional skill specialties are
awarded.  These specializations may be used for the same skill, but
may not be used for specializations in supernatural powers.

iii.    MC 6 – Well-Rounded:  Raise one merit from its current rating
(0, 1, or 2) to x3, after character creation points and all XP (MC +
Legacy) is already spent.  This benefit may be applied “on top” of the
existing PC if a Player reaches this MC level after the PC is brought
into play. This benefit may not be used for Character Creation only
merits, Power Stats, or Fighting Styles.

iv.    MC 9 – Skill Focus:  Raise one Skill from current rating (0,1
or 2) to x3, after character creation points and all XP (MC + Legacy)
is already spent. This benefit may be applied "on top" of the existing
PC if a Player reaches this MC level after the PC is brought into
play.

v.     MC 12 – Natural Aptitude:   Raise one Attribute from current
rating (1 or 2) to x3, after character creation points and all XP (MC
+ Legacy) is already spent.  This benefit may be applied "on top" of
the existing PC if a Player reaches this MC level after the PC is
brought into play.

vi.    MC 14 – The Edge:  The starting template for each primary PC
created by the player is altered so that the Power Stat starts at 2
rather than 1.  Creation Merit Dots may be spent as usual to increase
this.  This benefit may only be used at character creation.

vii.   Implementation:

(a)   Date of Implementation:  15 December 2009.

(b)   Milestones are applied to all new and existing Primary characters.

(c)   This does not invoke a Low-approval character rewrite for
existing characters.

(d)   An XP refund is available for MC6/9/12/14 items if intervening
dots were purchased on existing characters (dots 1 and 2 for MC6/9,
dot 2 for MC12/14).  This applies only at time of implementation of
this proposal; it does not apply to later MC awards.

(1)   Example:  A player elects to raise Resources to 3 on his
character via the MC 6 award.  The character previously had two dots
of Resources.  The character receives an XP refund for those two dots
(6 XP).

(2)   Example:  A player elects to raise Composure to 3 on his
character via the MC12 award.  The character previously had two dots
of Composure.  The character receives an XP refund for that second dot
(10 XP).

(3)   Example:  A player elects to apply the MC 14 award to an
existing character which already has a Power Stat at or above 2.  The
character receives an XP refund for that second dot (16XP), regardless
of original means (creation points or XP) of gaining Power Stat 2 or
above.

viii.  Affiliate Transfers:  It is possible that an Affiliate will
elect to not implement Milestone awards.  Characters that transfer to
another Affiliate must conform to the policy of the gaining Affiliate,
or secure the approval of the gaining Affiliate at Top Approval to
retain non-conforming Milestone benefits accrued in another Affiliate.

2.     Secondary characters: Add 10 XP only, as if created at MC 1.

3.     These XP are added after normal character creation is complete,
before entering play (i.e. they cannot be spent on "creation only"
merits).

4.     Up to ten XP can be left unspent and saved; other unspent XP is
lost when the character enters play.

5.     When a player gains new MC levels, all their Primary characters
add 10 XP per level gained, as well as the applicable Milestone award,
if any.

6.     If a player loses MC levels, all their Primary characters lose
XP equal to the worth of the MC. This may cause characters to go into
"XP debt" (they do not lose dots from their sheet), which must be paid
off before anything else is bought for that character.
