Time For The Kine
   by Ben Swainbank


Here are some card ideas, mostly for a WoD group sorely 
under-represented in V:tes. Time for the Kine!

There's a lot of potential for developing human allies as a more 
integral part of the eternal struggle. The Beat Cop, City Mayor, Town 
Drunk, and Nosy Reporter all have their role to play. Properly costed 
and with a few masters cards to ease and encourage their use, these 
allies could be a nice addition from both mechanics and narrative 
perspective.  Allies can introduce new variations without adding the 
complexity of new clans and disciplines. And humans are a nice fit for 
the more integrated Camarilla, and might be a nice addition to a 
Camarilla base set.

For your consideration...

Kristie Appletree, Channel 9 News Team
Unique Ally
Kine
1 Pool
1 Life 0 Strength 0 Bleed
Kristie Appletree may tap a Vampire controlled by another Methuselah
as a (D) Action.
If Kristie is burned by a Vampire, place 2 publicity counters on
the Vampire. During the controlling Methuselah's untap phase burn a 
publicity counter instead of untapping the Vampire.


J.T. Finch, Private Investigator
Unique Ally
Kine
1 Pool
1 Life 1 Strength 0 Bleed
J.T. Finch may take a +1 stealth action to place an investigation 
counter on a minion controlled by another methuselah. Minions you 
control may take an action to enter into combat with a minion
with an investigation counter. A minion with an investigation counter 
may take a +1 stealth action to burn the counter.


Franky the Conspiracy Buff
Unique Ally
Kine
1 Pool
1 Life 1 Strength 0 Bleed +1 Intercept

Louis LeFleur, Vampire Hunter
Unique Ally
Kine
1 Pool
1 Life 1 Strength 0 Bleed
Louis LeFleur may take a +1 Stealth action to burn a vampire in torpor.
When Louis is in combat all damage inflicted during the combat is
aggravated.


Jackster Borne, Gun Runner
Unique Ally
Kine
1 Pool
1 Life 1 Strength 0 Bleed
Jackster gets +1 stealth on all equip actions.
Jackster may transfer 1 or more equipment cards from himself to another 
minion as a +1 stealth action.


Indigo March, Starlet
Unique Ally
Kine
1 Blood
1 Life 0 Strength 1 Bleed
Indigo can play cards as if she has inferior presence. She may not play 
cards that would cost her blood or give her blood.

A Vampire controlled any Methuselah may take an action to 
burn Vince and gain 2 blood.


Let the Sun Shine on Me
Action Modifier
Kine Ally
Play as the action is announced. If this action is blocked all damage 
inflicted during the combat will be aggravated.


Embrace Kine
Action
2 Blood
Place this card on a Kine Ally you control. The ally is now considered 
a 1 capacity vampire with 1 strength and 1 bleed of the same clan as 
the acting Vampire. He or she retains any special abilities and 
limitations.  You may get a Master Discipline card from your hand 
or ash heap and place it on this Vampire, increasing its capacity to 2.



The following aren't really Kine related but might be good for the game:

Anger Frenzy
Combat
1 Blood
Cancel the effect of a Strike: Combat Ends card played by the opposing 
minion.


Hit and Run
Action
Only playable by a minion with a Vehicle.
Do 2 damage to minion controlled by another Methuselah.

Vampire to burn 2 pool.

hand or ash heap and place it on a Vampire you control.
