| Now you're getting into a linguistical debate about what those words mean - and speaking from experience, that will not be fun. (For anybody but linguist nerds, at least.) To make it simple: from White Wolf's perspective, there are thirteen known clans. Everything else is a Bloodline. | |

To make it simple: from White Wolf's perspective, there are thirteen known clans. Everything else is a Bloodline. Even simpler: Cain was cursed by God and become the first Cainite. He had therr (or five Childer) Second Generation. Those had 13 Childer (or more...) Third Generation. Groups of Cainites descended from one of the 3rd Generation, who share common Disciplines and to a degree traditions and customs, are a Clan Sub groups within Clans, sharing common Disciplines and to a degree traditions and customs, that are a bit different than a maistream for their Clan, are a Bloodline. Those originate from Cainites of 4th or higher Generation. In other words, Bloodlines are (or were) subgroups of Clans, or Clans that lost 3rd Generation founder and were thus demoted to a Bloodline (Salubri, Baali). Conversly, a Bloodline may become a Clan if it Diablerizes it's way to having 3rd Generation founder (Tremere, Giovanni). | |

| Great post guys! Those are good explanations of the difference between Clans and Bloodlines. Here's a screenshot taken from the Official TFN Game manual, which may not be cannon to VtM but is canon to TFN. | |

I hate the Tremere. Bloody diablerists... And a de facto Salubri Antitribu... OK, Tzimisce origins and all, but hey, most of them have something of Saulot in them... Usually the anti-tribu are the smaller group. | |

| Thank you everybody!!!
The manual is looking great! Any chance we can fiddle around with options like font size and background colors? | |
