[AUTOPASS] [BYLAW ADDITION] [AMENDMENT] Kindred with Awakened P’o and KOE Disciplines

I, Tauney Kennedy, in my Duties as Kuei-Jin Coordinator of One World by Night propose the following addition to the OWBN character bylaws for OWBN Vampire and Kuei-Jin genre.

 

3.C.iii.Genre Coordinators must pass before Council any plot, R&U bylaw revision, R&U named characters, Coordinator-NPC Character Resurrections, territory requests, in character enforced policy, or in character binding edict they wish to use which they can reasonably expect to affect multiple chronicles and these proposals need not be seconded, but go immediately into discussion.

 

10.l.vi. Western Vampires gaining a Hun and/or  P’o - PC: Coordinator Approval - NPC: Coordinator Approval - Coordinator: Kuei-Jin

 

Reasoning: In the Kindred of the East core books its is rather clear that Western Kindred Vampires can not learn the Disciplines of the Kuei-Jin.  However, a very specific theoretical exception exists.  In the White Wolf book “Blood and Silk” page 158 it states:

“Rumor says that one or more Salubri actually awakened their Hun and P’o to become full-fledged Wan Kuei; however, details somehow always dissolve into “I heard it from the friend of a wu-mate…”

There other plot points in the Kindred of the East and Vampire the Masquerade that give hints to the plot point as a possibility.  However, as we all know, White Wolf loves the golden rule and do what best works for your game mentality.  Meaning, it’s currently theoretically possible for a Storyteller to approve this and also allow Kindred PCs to learn KOE disciplines.  By Making such rare events Coordinator Approval, we make sure to close this “loophole” in the bylaws and to make sure their is some oversight on these stories and possibilities, as they should be as rare as things like Golconda, Ascension, Transcending, etc.
