College titles

I still need ideas for the titles and texts for some college courses.
Especially dodge, firearms, security, and stealth. They have doubles or really weak ones. But if you have good ideas for another subject, post it anyway.

Something like

dodge 5/5: Bullet Time

The ultimate skill of the 'Arts of Slow Motion' let's you dodge projectiles like Max Payne.

Or do i misunderstand you and you want lore based things? Then i can't help you as i am not that much into the lore

Dodge (any level)
Wiggling
Who needs celerity when you wiggle so well ?


Security
Wall-walk
When the door has a trap or can't be opened, go through the wall

You got it quite well. I intend to make it similar to the research books. References to WoD lore are not needed, but if you have an idea with a reference to some bloodlines character, or the storyline, go ahead.

Head first? Or do you have a ritual for it?

-

Ritual is called "noclip"

(but yes there is a ritual :
Level 3 • Noncorporeal Passage

Roll: Wits + Survival, difficulty 6
This one-hour ritual requires a fragment of a mirror, and makes the vampire incorporeal for one hour per success, as long as she can see herself in the mirror. In this state, she may move through solid objects (in a straight line only), and is impervious to physical attack.
)

Bloody wizards and their rituals. They probably also have a ritual to recall all the rituals they have ever heard of...
I'd think, it would be something involving eating a dictionary HaaR Huar HARR hAaR

So very tempted to add 'Hammertime' to that, and say 'like regular time, only they can't touch this'. I fear, however, that the levels of hell will be saved for people like me if I did.

I can hear that voice in my head, but its source evades me atm. Enlighten me, or a special hell will be created just for you

Ability: Security

Description: A detailed guide about setting up a security system in your home. Ironically it gives you a lot of ideas how to bypass said system as well.


Ability: Stealth
Title: Big Books of Backstab Techniques
Description: The one with the spoon and yo-yo is as fascinating as it is enlightening.


Ability: Firearms
Title: Diplomacy for Americans
Description: Shoot first, don't bother with questions.


Ability: Dodge
Title: Diplomacy with Americans
Description: Try not to get yourself shot.

MC hammer. A one hit wonder from the 80s


How about these:

Ability: Security
Title: The perverts guide to S&M
Description: At first glance this guide would appear to have nothing to do with security, until you notice the chapter titled "How to pick the lock of a chastity belt." Perhaps this could come in handy afterall.

^ For those who don't get the reference: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chastity_belt_(BDSM)


Ability: Subterfuge
Title: Pick up artist's guide to peacocking
Description: Well, who could have guessed the secret to getting dates was dressing up like a complete idiot?

^ google "peacocking" if you dont get it. Theres actually a silly reality tv show in america about this, and it gets made fun of a lot so I think itd be a funny & relevant inclusion


Ability: Stealth
Title: The history of the Watergate scandal
Description: Wow, politicians sure know a lot about sneaking around. That Nixon guy puts some nosferatu to shame.


Ability: Intimidation
Title: The Star Trek Encyclopedia
Description: Those Klingons seem to know a thing or two about getting what they want! Qapla!


Ability: Firearms
Title: How to shoot like James Bond
Description: Who knew that firing bullets that tear through other men's flesh like silly putty could make you feel like such a Gentleman?


Ability: Melee
Title: A biography of Abraham Lincoln
Description: "Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe." - Abraham Lincoln .. Hmm, for a vampire hunter this guy doesn't seem half bad!

(reference to http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1611224/)

I like these.

Hehe thanks..

Malkav, you still looking for more,or do you have enough?

Yours were good fore sure. I hope I will see them in CE

I'm not decided yet. Most of the ideas sound good. But quite a lot of them are for abilities that are filled already, so I have to decide if I want to keep the old ones, or replace. And some of the ideas are better suited for books you can find somplace than for college courses.

Works only when you know about the "console" ritual... ...and if the other side of the wall isn't on a different map.

Rituals...
I think I prefer the Brujah technique of getting through walls: fire up potence, grab a Ventrue with 5 fortitude, and you have the perfect tool for the problem. (Use your head, man!)

Still need one or two for investigate. A good one on finance or rhetoric wouldn't harm either.

Maybe for investigate something like Columbo or Sherlock, finance something with stock trading and rhetoric.. i don't know either^^

Investigation:

"When you eliminate all the other options, whatewer remains must be the truth, Watson"

Finance

"Enron: case study. How to get rich fast cheating"

Ability: Rhetoric
Title: You Talkin' to Me? Rhetoric 101
Description: They call it the gift of gab, but it's not a gift, it's a skill. You too can learn how to manipulate your friends (or enemies) into doing your bidding with a nothing but a silver tongue!


edit- now that i think about it, this is probably more appropriate for persuasion or something...
