Alternative tremere virtues

I had seen the other Houses relying on the mastery of Certamen that House Tremere has.
It is an accepted tool of the Order.
(if not well liked)
Other Magi could hire Tremere to fight Certamen battles for them.
This might come down to both sides doing the same.

Having House Tremere seen as limited in power due to a compulsory focus ,
might well be part of House strategy.
All the extras things , like Necromancer , can be achieved by a Mystery Initiation.

I would see a House Mystery Cult related to Necromancy as much more likely ,
than single , rogue Tremere Necromancers (due to focus choice).

As always , YSMV. :slight_smile:

Maybe we should do a What Fifth Edition House Rules have you made? Thread.
Not to criticise people , but to get insight into what changes people felt they needed to make for their saga.

ncl,

We have allowed pussiant certamen applicable overall to a duel at +3. Then the duelist picks his style "form" a technique or form that he will enhance for the duel, if that is a technique or art chosen to use in the tool then an additional +3 is applied.

Now since the release of HOH:ToL, we allowed a +3 overall and then a +3 to the particular school making the Tremere duelest too good.

Finally we are resting on minor potent magic certamen. Seems to be just right, still a tough duelest and can be a house specialist such a healer, necromancer, artificer, animal master...
