Dicipline stat Increases

Is it possible for example:
Let's say you play as Nosferatu and Berthram or Gary will give you a side quest and if you finish it you get obfuscate stat increase from them for example, at the end of the game, so you won't be OP or smth
sames goes with Isaac ( Toreador), Nines and Jeanette(Therese), Strauss

From a technical stand point this is not only doable but pretty easy in fact. The only thing you must consider is "why" we would do this and just how "balanced" would it be.

If you can justify those 2 questions, then I'm all for an idea like this.

Maybe Lazarus is thinking as a substitute for what Gangrel can get from Beckett. If so, then to make it balanced, I'd think you'd want to disable the Becket reward if the character already got a Clan-specific reward from another NPC.

As to "why," the only answer I can come up with is "Can the character theoretically impress his or her 'mentor' to the same degree a Gangrel can theoretically impress Beckett?" I'm not sure it works from a storyline viewpoint. None of those other characters seem as sympathetic to fellow Clan members as Beckett does to Kindred in general and by extension Gangrel in particular. Nines is distracted by his passion for social justice, Tourette is a nut-case, Issac is mostly concerned with himself and Strauss and LaCroix are arrogant, aloof and condescending. I mean, Jeannette may be willing to take a roll in the hay with anyone, but I doubt she cares what happens to them afterward, even if he or she is Malkavian. Other than Beckett, Tung makes the most sense as a "mentor."

yea ..why not one of the Elders or Anchillae take you under its wing..like when you are Brujah , you can get special quest from Jack or smth and in return he will teach you something..similar to the Clan Quest mod , but with diciplines

you Sir have a Malkavian insight about what I was trying to prove with my post

It's funny tho, how Berthram refers himself as an Elder tho he actually is basicly still an Neonate or Anchillae..
cuz Elders are normally over 500 years old

What do you expect in a country, where everything previous to the "Boston Tea Party" is considred "prehistoric?"

I'm glad you didn't think I was trying to put words in your mouth.

He is one of the more together characters, in my opinion. On my personal "favorites" list, I rate him #2 behind Beckett, and just ahead of Venus. He lacks Gary's ultra cynicism.

You'll get a real kick out of this stretch of freeway in Southern California which was designated an historic landmark.
