The Master ST has just announced that nobody can buy anything from the Invictus book unless the character is Invictus. No approvals, no nothing.
This is an anomaly from his previous ruling: all non-Invictus approvals are High Approval.
This is an anomaly from his previous ruling on the other Covenant books.
This is keeping with a philosophy of “protecting” a player’s favorite Covenant.
Three guesses what the MST’s primary character is.
First two don’t count.
___
Here are the steps.
1) Voice a reasonable objection to the decision.
When that fails, we move to step two.
2) Petition.
We get a whole hunkin’ heap of signitures to voice our objection to the decision. When that fails, we move to step three.
3) Kill all the Invictus.
Every single last one of them. Declare the Invictus–in character–are a danger to the Masquerade. And kill them on sight.
Those are my solutions. Anybody else?
___
Addendum to the Addendum
I did a search at the Addendum. I searched for “not available.” The phrase only occurs in the Invictus paragraph and the line “Bloodlines from covenant books are not available for non-true members of that covenant; otherwise the Approval levels above apply.”*
*It also appears in the Mage addendum, but that’s for characters above 150 years old and not applicable.
