Convictions

<yambe:breadcrumb>Main_Page|Main Page</yambe:breadcrumb>

Each character begins with one to three Convictions: human values they attempt to uphold even after death. The specifics of these Convictions are up to the player. They might reflect a religious code, a personal ethical core, a vampiric path, or just things the character does or balks at doing without ever really considering their philosophical weight. Te Storyteller should feel free to reject suggested Convictions on the grounds of taste or of suitability for the type of story they intend.
