ENLIGHTENMENT
_______________________________________________________________
The most common Path is
one of Humanity, but it's also a Path that increasingly
many kindred have chosen to shun openly and
entirely. Vampires who will have this
path have generally come to the conclusion that they are
no longer human, and have no need to have any part of
human failings, feelings or morality. You will
probably want to look at this path as an option if
your character has any Sabbat or Antitribu leanings.The
Sabbat don't like weakness as trait in its members, Just
because you no longer consider yourself to be human,
doesn't mean that you can surcumb to chaos and have
no ethics. Ethics are essential if a vampire is to have
any
control over his or her Beast.

REMEMBER
If you opt to play on this path, this is going to be a
VERY challenging role playing experience for you, because
absolutely nothing
that you believe will be a part of your characters ethics
or morality. You must be prepared to devote a LOT of time
to throwing yourself into how
your character thinks and behaves - otherwise your
vampire will become nothing more than a wooden
stereotype.
A vampire with a path of
Enlightenment is one who has openly rejected ALL
the trappings of Humanity. The vampire will have
rationalised that
Humanity is flawed and weak, and that Kindred are
stronger and better evolved for survival. There are other
reasons that a Vampire can arrive at
this Path, one is that they simply do not care about
Mortals at all and this path suits them best because they
are tired of upholding the
Masquerade..the reasons are as diverse as the kindred
themselves.
Pro's It
can be good fun to play a Sabbat rules character,
generally they can behave in a more monstrous way,
and are completely unapologetic
of their actions. Playing a character on this path is a
PURE RPG experience.
Cons- It's
a more difficult Path to play as a beginner because we
are dealing with shock morality here, which is harder to
comprehend and play
without resorting to stereotype. The ideals of the path
of Enlightenment can be more than a little sick and
perverse, and to some players could
even be offensive, which is why it is best left to those
who know the ropes a little bit first. You really have to
be familiar with the game before
you attempt to play this Path.
