I had a question regarding the combat contest coming up. While I won't be there, I found some rules that I thought were pretty interesting and figured they would be perfect for this setting.
As discussed on p. 44, Brujah who fight in
organized bashes report that it is slightly easier
to resist frenzy afterwards. The downside is
that you and your opponent have to beat the
crap out of each other to gain the benefits.
System: To gain the desired benefits, the
Brujah must engage in a hand-to-hand brawl
with another combatant in front of a cheering
audience during an organized bash. The
benefits arise from the psychological effects of
fighting in front of a crowd.
The player notes how many levels of lethal
damage were inflicted on both the Brujah and
her opponent. The lesser number of wounds
is the amount by which the difficulty of the
Brujah’s frenzy rolls is reduced (to a minimum
of 3). The greater number of wounds is how
many consecutive scenes in which the Brujah
benefits from the reduction. Thus, to gain any
benefit, the Brujah must both suffer and inflict
at least one level of lethal damage. A fight in
which the Brujah casually defeats an inferior
combatant confers no benefits, nor does one
in which the Brujah is humiliated by a beat
down from a superior fighter who takes no
significant damage himself.
The combatants are limited to brawling attacks
that inflict only bashing damage, which means
that both participants must suffer bashing
damage levels in all of their respective health
boxes plus at least one more in order to
benefit. If both combatants are Brujah, both
gain the benefits of bashing.
-Pg. 51, Lore of the Clans
This is in regards to Clan Brujah and their penchant for violence. Will these be in effect for the upcoming contest?
