Plans
Long term strategy
- Vengeance! Possibly on archbishop Malfalda Fiore.
- Participate in anti-Sabbat activities and lead a combat team. I will be responsible for Masquerade violations by the team.
- Develop SCCTOp.
- Start a business. Cierra is willing to invest in exchange for a favour. She needs to see it as being in her interest.
- Increase income from $3000/month to $9000/month.
- Join the Guild of Investigators.
- Hire a secretary by asking another secretary. Use Elisabeth-Maria Holstein to ask about the Empire State secretaries that are in the know.
- Hire a forensic accountant from ex cops. Find out why they are ex.
- Peter Ingolf may be heading to Buenos Aires, in Sabbat controlled territory. I need to be prepared for this eventuality and have learned Spanish.

"Disciplines Special case: It is possible to train for a Bloodline gift that builds on a gift that your trainer has (i.e., you can train for a gift directly following a gift your trainer mastered), in this case the training time becomes (Number of Precursors + 1) months. This does not apply to the first gift of a discipline — those are special cases unto themselves."
