- For Paths and Roads not listed here, check the Pen and Paper index.
- For Road auras, see '+rules road auras'. See also '+rules appearing human'.
General rules
Per VtM 287:
- Alternate virtues (Conviction, Instinct) start at 0 and must be raised to at least 1 (with baseline dots or freebies).
- Path of Enlightenment requires Willpower 5 or higher.
- Path of Enlightenment cannot start with Path Rating above 5 (even if relevant virtues add up to more).
Switching Paths post-chargen, per VtM 288 "Switching from Humanity to a Path":
- Takes at least one year (starting from when you request the switch; may be backdated at staff discretion, but no earlier than when you were approved).
- Path Rating must be at most 3. (You can handwave degeneration to this point.)
- Virtues that would change must be down to 1. (You can handwave driving these down as well.)
- Roll Willpower (can't spend Willpower for an auto-success):
- Path Rating 3 -> diff 10
- Path Rating 2 -> diff 8
- Path Rating 1 -> diff 6
- 3+ succs -> switch to new path at Path Rating 2
- 1-2 succs -> switch to new path at Path Rating 1
- Fail -> Path Rating drops by 1, must wait a month before trying again (or a year if you botched).
- If your Path Rating drops to 0, you're force-retired. (The PC becomes a staff-run NPC, permanently lost to the Beast until it's killed.)
- Switching to Humanity, or from one Path of Enlightenment to another, follows the same approach.
