VtR Experience Rules
Gaining Experience
Earning Beats
Players may gain experience through the beat system by gaining beats. On average a ST-Ran scene should award somewhere between 3 to 8 beats per ST-Ran scene. Players can earn beats in excess of this range though with any of the items below.
Beats (Rules-As-Written)
According to Vampire the Requiem 2nd Edition pg. 83:
“A player earns Beats for his character in many ways (listed below). When your character has gained five Beats, they convert to one Experience, which can be used to develop your character’s abilities.
You gain Beats when your character fulfills one of the criteria below.
- If your character fulfills an Aspiration, take a Beat. At the end of the game session, replace the Aspiration.
- Each Condition has criteria for resolution. When resolving a Condition, take a Beat.
- Some Conditions provide Beats for actions other than resolution.
- Any time you fail a roll, you may opt to make it a dramatic failure and take a Beat.
- If your character takes lethal damage in one of her rightmost Health boxes, take a Beat. Vampires do not gain Beats from bashing damage.
- At the end of any game session, take a Beat.
- Any time your character risks detachment (see p. 107), take a Beat.”

Floor Experience
Floor Experience will go up monthly to keep the floor and cap within reasonable limits for players to catch up. Players who start at any point of the game will have the ability to earn experience to have them at the same experience range as players who start their characters at the beginning of the chronicle. We never want players to feel it’s “too late” to join our venue.
Floor XP will begin starting in Month 3, and will raise every other month after that by 10xp a month to keep the potential difference between floor and cap a maximum of 15xp.
This means that every scene will be tailored for this XP range of the venue. It’s the player’s responsibility to spend their XP, so don’t forget to spend the experience you earn or you may feel behind when it comes to participating in scenes.
Death Experience
We use the Eternal Noire Death Experience Rules found on this page.
