About The Pull Request

I've been asked to do it and I've made it during my work

We're trying to be closer to V20 as possible, the tech bane exists only in V5
V20 mentions only reflection part which's already given to lasombras, so they still have a curse
image

Why It's Good For The Game

The bane itself is quite annoying ngl, many other clans either don's have a curse whatsoever or it's so meaningless that it doesn't matter.
Just from top of my head: DoC, Trujah, Brujah, Gangrel, Banus, all Setites (2 point quirk for double Sun dmg... really?), Salubris for some reason doesn't have a curse anymore (TRAIT_CONSENSUAL_FEEDING_ONLY Does nothing, it just exists)

Changelog

🆑
Commented: v5 electronic bane (radio gibberish curse)

why not just remove the trait from the lasombra clan datum?

Fair point, I feel even more idiotic than I usually do, I'll fix that

Sure thing
If the tech curse to be left, I may propose to change the equation, so it's actually possible to communicate with high tech and maybe manipualtion stats

that is a good idea

the main stipulation that we have with the lasombra curse removal from a lore perspective is that the v20 curse, not reflecting in mirrors, is a very nothingburger curse that has no actual bearing mechanically for players, which is a problem in a clan that is already quite strong mechanically

ergo we believe that the limitations imposed upon their radio and telephone communications serve as a viable counterbalance
