Re: Can you tell me your power gaming tricks in old world of darkness?
The way to break combat in the old storyteller system is through a merit called charmed existence. It negates the first 1 in every roll which enables you to split your dice pool completely without the risk of botching. The most effective is doing it in a werewolf. I dont have access to the books now so the example may not be perfectly accurate but in the vicinity.
Newbie werewolf
Dex 5 +2 for Hispo form
Str 4 +3 for Hispo form
Brawl 3
Rage 10
You spend 10 rage to get 11 turns on round 1 which you split into 10 (Dex+Brawl) attacks. So you make 110 attacks, of which 55 should land for 9 aggravated damage dies per attack. Almost nothing survives this.
You could probably raise your brawl to 5 which raises it to 66 successful attacks.
If you want to play a vampire the is a magic sword that gives a success on each attack. If you give this to a PC with celerity and potence it also works really well. Not the same first round punch but lasts over more rounds.
