One of my characters for oWoD is going to be a Tremere. I am not going to be playing another Hiro/Combat guy or even a remotely high level Tremere rank. I am thinking the character will stay at a constant apprentice of the 6th based on the concept of the character and what I do with him.
I do not plan on playing at games hardly ever maybe 3-5 times a year at max with this character, the character is however going to be played heavily in downtime via Proxy.
When I played Hiro he had to manage the chantry the hardest part about this was resources, influence and the various rituals one would need to fully outfit the local chantry. I was able to get everything over time and have a pretty awesome chantry set up.
My character is a specialist who up keeps the local chantry and trains other apprentices to do the same. When a new chantry is constructed my character is called in to inspect the area, invest in its design,creation and casting of the defensive rituals such as wards and warding circles. This "resource" frees up the local Tremere he is visiting to concentrate on other rituals and resources allowing them to bring more power to House and Clan while he takes care of these less aggressive rituals that most Tremere do not want to spend the resources to learn themselves.
His rank is constantly an apprentice of the 6th circle in recognition of his vast array of thauamturgical knowledge, his utility and the fact he is a sitting Camarilla Elder with a small amount of status afforded to him. He could be regent based on those reasons alone but his purpose would be circumvented because he is a background character, he travels alot and performing service to House and Clan. The nature of his service itself is a bit demeaning being the guy who has spent his unlife learning less potent and utility rituals he could use himself. It is unlogical for him to be the 7th circle apprentice as this puts him in direct line for becoming regent and again contradictory to what his role is in the clan.
So far for my Rituals I will have:
Dedicate the Chantry
Defense of the Sacred Haven
Deny the Intruder
Ward VS Ghouls
"" "" Kindred
"" "" Lupines
"" "" Spirits
Warding Circles VS Ghouls
"" "" Kindred
"" "" Lupines
"" "" Spirits
Haunted House
Principal Focus of Vitae Infusion
Enchant Talisman
Do anyone have any other suggestions that will work for the purposes of fitting a chantry for use by the Tremere?
Also if anyone is looking for Ties let me know.
