Part IV: Errata and Rules Update
- Changes to Blood Potency rules: increases in the values of Blood Surge and Bane Severity.
- Compulsions can stem from Messy Criticals as well as Bestial Failures, creating more opportunities for them to come into play.
- Dice test changes: Storytellers are encouraged to let players count half their dice pool as regular successes to disincentivize rerolls to guarantee easy tests or avoid complications for Hunger; but also to conceal the exact difficulty levels of tests.
- Reining in the effects of Lingering Kiss ability for Presence.
