One thing never taken into account when we talk about Vampire the Masquerade is just how little time vampires have in a day.
Humans, if they live a healthy life, have two thirds of a day to do stuff. In a pinch, three quarters or even more. Vampires have half a day, and no ability to extend that. Plus, their feeding tends to consume a lot of time in itself.
I don't think it is very frequently impressed upon the player just how incredibly limiting this is.
@dawngreeter Of course they must also save a lot of time through not needing to shower, shave, brush teeth, go to the toilet, all that business. Just rise unruffled and go straight to the rave or boardroom or what have you.
@si_fuller Counterpoint: most were embraced in less than perfect condition and may need a shave and even a haircut every night.
@dawngreeter I only just remembered, I once had a character who was a Settite, and their sire made them grow their hair and beard for two years before embracing them. As a vampire, they'd cut their hair every night, and would have an instant disguise if needed.
I don't think I ever used the disguise, it was just a background colour thing.
