The aim of the sheet is to provide more than an entry point for your characters stats but to streamline dice rolling, automatic calculations where possible and to roll templates. If you have any questions or find any bugs, please direct them to FistOFun and they will be dealt with as soon as possible. When talking about mechanics, where possible we have tried to link to page numbers of the book to aid you. It is with the third generation that myth and legend meet reality.This is a guide to the Vampire: The Masquerade 5th Edition -character sheet. Even the mighty Antediluvians were said to be hesitant to speak of their sires, beings of incredible beauty, but also tyrants and demigods. Like Caine, little is known about the three, who most likely all met their end in the Great Flood or in the upheavals of the Second City. The most prominent tale says Caine has embraced only three childer - the mythical second generation and sires of the 13 Antediluvians. Caine has the dubious honor of being the first among the damned, the malignant seed from which all other Cainites claim their heritage. There are other, much rarer, methods of changing generation, but they usually involve powerful sorcery and are closely guarded secrets. When a Cainite diablerizes a vampire of lower generation their generation decreases by one or possibly more if the victim was particularly potent. Generally, the only way a vampire changes generation is through diablerie. Vampires of below the 8th generation can raise their traits to truly superhuman levels: instead of the human maximum of five, they may raise their traits as high as 13 - their generation this includes learning Advanced Discipline powers. The number of blood points a Cainite can spend a turn and the maximum size of their blood pool also increases as generation is lowered, though this represents a concentration of power within the blood, not a larger physical capacity to store it. Tactical shotgunДominate cannot be used on vampires of a lower generation than the character, and some other Disciplines are weaker as well. Low generation provides several benefits.

The V20 supplement Beckett's Jyhad Diary introduces the 16th generation. Members of the 14th and 15th generation are special, and detailed rules for them are provided in the Time of Thin Blood supplement.

Each rank represents a step below the default generation, which is 13th in modern times, and 12th in the Dark Ages. In game mechanics, all Kindred have a Generation Traitwhich is ranked between 0 and 5 for standard characters. Generation is the crudest measure of vampiric power, or more accurately, vampiric potential. Those of low generation, two or three times removed from Caine, are accorded more respect than those nine or ten times removed. Caine is considered the First Generation of vampires, the most powerful of them all and Cainites use Generation to describe their heritage as Caine's children. The clan founders comprised the Third Generationtheir progeny became the Fourth Generationtheir childer became the Fifth Generationand so on and so forth up through the distant Thirteenth Generation prevalent in the modern nights.ДЄll Cainites trace their ancestry according to how far removed they are from Caine, how many generations down their cursed line they are. When a vampire embracestheir childe rises from death one Generation higher than them - one more Generation removed from Caine. Generation is an indication of how far a vampire is removed from Cainethe original vampire.
