Virtue (VTM)
WIKI
VIEW SOURCE

Virtue is a Vampire: The Masquerade game term that is used in a

character's sheet to show his spiritual and moral fiber — or lack
thereof.

Overview
A Virtue is a standard trait, measured from one to five dots,
measuring the moral and personal convictions of a VTM character.
The three default Virtues are Conscience, Self-Control and Courage,
and in VTM, all characters – both kindred and mortals – possess
these Virtues.

The Virtues affect the starting levels of other traits: Willpower is

based on starting Courage, and Humanity (or its equivalent) is based
on the total of starting Conscience and Self-Control. Many vampires
follow Paths of Enlightenment (or, in the Dark Ages, Roads) rather
than Humanity. Many of these Paths and Roads use the alternate
Virtues of Conviction and/or Instinct, which may replace Conscience
and Self-Control, respectively.

The alternate Virtues, and the Paths of Enlightenment that make use
of them, were first introduced in the Players Guide to the Sabbat.
This book, and those that followed, originally used Callousness
instead of Conviction as a substitute for Conscience, and used
"Instincts" for Instinct. These early books also replaced Courage with
Morale for Path followers, but there was no real difference between
the two other than flavor text. The names of the alternate Virtues

The Masquerade Rulebook Revised. In the Storytellers Handbook to
the Sabbat, demons also used their own distinct alternate Virtues,

FANDOM
with Treachery and Cruelty replacing Conscience and Self-Control,
though Courage remained unchanged.

The Laibon, as depicted in Kindred of the Ebony Kingdom, use the

Virtues of Orun ("Heaven") and Aye ("Earth"), which represent the
GAMES vampire's spirituality and humanity, respectively. Orun partially
governs the vampire's Disciplines and to their ability to resist the
workings of hostile magic, while Aye is used to resist frenzy and
MOVIES function during the day. Both of these traits also reflect the
vampire's appearance: vampires with high Aye can pass for mortals,
vampires with high Orun appear beatific, and vampires with low Orun
TV appear bizarre or even monstrous. The Guruhi legacy (Laibon
Nosferatu) are an exception, as their weakness makes it difficult to
determine the actual state of their Virtues. A Laibon's maximum total
VIDEO ratings in these Virtues is restricted by generation: Laibon of tenth
generation (or of even weaker blood) can only have a total of ten dots
between these two Virtues.
