Fate Core Vampire uses the standard five Aspects for Fate Core. The high concept for a Fate
Core Vampire character must include their Clan or Bloodline, and at every step this hack of Fate
assumes the backstory and color of Vampire the Masquerade. Next is the trouble Aspect,
which could be one of the Flaws from Masquerade, or is otherwise related to the character’s

Disciplines and Refresh
Follow >unfinished 43 Neonate characters begin with 5 refresh and with three levels of Clan Disciplines. This already
means they are more formidable than their Vampire the Masquerade counterparts, as we’ll see,
because in this hack there are only four levels of each Discipline, and the fourth level is
reserved for elders only. So three levels in this system is intended to be about equivalent to five
dots of Disciplines in VtM. Each extra level of any Discipline, in-clan or out of clan, costs 2
refresh – it is basically an expensive Extra. So at most a Neonate might start play with 5 levels
of Disciplines and 1 refresh, and 3 of those Discipline levels will be in Clan Disciplines. The
exception to this is is for Caitiff or Pander, who can take their first 3 levels in any Disciplines as
long as the ST agrees.

As usual, players can also spend their characters’ refresh on Stunts and Extras, which I’ll cover
in the next post of this series.

Elders and Others

Mortal characters have +3 as their maximum Skill, and two Stunts or Extras. If they are a Ghoul,
then they also have Basic Potence and an additional physical stress box, for a total of 3.

Elder characters, such as Primogen or Bishops, have a maximum Skill level of +5 in their
pyramid, 6 levels of Disciplines and 3 refresh.

Ancient characters, like Princes, Archbishops, and other powerful elders, have a maximum Skill
of +6, 9 levels of Disciplines, and 1 refresh.
