VtM: Bloodlines 2 Clan Profile: The Toreador

The latest clan reveal for Vampire: the Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 is out an about, this time focused on the Toreador or the Clan of the Rose. The Toreador are one of the largest clans in Seattle and they are known both for creating beautiful art and their hedonistic ways.

Beauty-obsessed artists and architects, poets and songwriters, these Kindred have had their hands in shaping Seattle since its pioneer days. As the historic music venues and eccentric mid-century homes make way for expensive high-rise apartment buildings, some wonder if the Clan of the Rose is fading in Seattle. Still, members of the Toreador Clan can be found perusing an art gallery downtown or revelling in a Pioneer Square nightclub, and more likely than not, hanging on the arm of someone with social, political, or cultural power.

Toreadors can choose from two disciplines:

Presence

• Awe: Freezes all in front of the player in "adoring wonder"
• Entrance: Shields the player with adoring fans that distracts enemies

Celerity

• Unseen Storm - players disappear from view by dashing at high speed before attacking at the end
• Accelerate - "move so fast that everything appears to slow down to a standstill"

If you'd like to see the Toreadors in action, Paradox is hosting a live stream that began at 9:00 am Pacific / 12:00 pm Eastern on Twitch.
