Totally Not Character Classes

Each newly created Sabbat character in Bound by Blood and Caine should select the archetype that best aligns with their concept. Storyteller provides final approval. The character receives the listed Backgrounds at no cost.

BBC does not require players to spend XP on Backgrounds. These templates exist so the Sabbat has a foothold in its chosen arena — not to compete with Dark Colony Hartford’s Camarilla archetypes.

Existing BBC characters may take these archetypes once, and only if the sheet is on Haller. Not eligible on Puppet Prince. ST approval required.

The list evolves. See The Operator and Dictus for the intended density of prerequisites.
