Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines Hints

Gangrel

  • 1 of 4: The Gangrel are probably the second most difficult clan to play without getting in trouble. They have a tendency to Frenzy a lot, and although it makes them ridiculously powerful (+10 to all combat influencing stats), it's kind of annoying when it happens in the middle of Downtown. Gangrel get Physical stats and skills as their specialties.
  • 2 of 4: Gangrel are a very effective combat class, mostly due to the fact that they get the Fortitude discipline, which gives them a lot of staying power against tough enemies and bosses, and when they Frenzy in a combat zone, well, sit back and watch the carnage.
  • 3 of 4: If you decide to play a Gangrel, most of the game will be fairly easy, but keeping yourself from violating the Masquerade frequently is a bit of a pain. There are a lot of Masquerade Redemption quests once you get to Hollywood, but you still have to be careful. You can concentrate mostly on the Unarmed feat, since the claws you get from the Protean discipline will deal aggravated damage, and are fairly effective against everything in the game. Be careful when using Protean in Masquerade areas, though.
  • 4 of 4: Overall, a challenging clan to play. It can be fun for a while, but I found that not having control or your character all the time gets a little old after a while.
