 Some foes possess a protective covering, be it a flak jacket or a slimy carapace. Armor adds dice to a character's soak roll. Some artificial armor also restricts body movement, as is reflected in an increase to Dexterity difficulties. Some armor types are given on the Armor chart. Armor dice (and only the armor dice) can be used to soak lethal damage. Those dice might also be usable to soak damage that might otherwise be unsoakable, at the Storyteller's discretion. It would make sense that a kevlar vest could be used to soak a silver weapon, but a flak jacket is no protection from radiation.

 A vampire may spend one blood point to increase a single Physical Attribute (Strength, Dexterity, or Stamina) by one dot for the duration of the scene. They can spend as many blood points as is allowed by their Generation, and may boost these Attributes to ''one level higher'' than their standard Generation maximum (i.e. a 10th Generation vampire could boost their Attributes to 6).
 A 9th generation vampire may spend 2 points of blood per turn. He could thus raise any one of his Physical Attributes by 2, or 2 of them by 1, every turn. The highest he can maintain these at easily is 6.
 With effort, they can even boost ''above'' this limit, but every dot above this limit lasts only three turns after the vampire stops spending blood to "buff." However, no vampire may ever increase their Physical Attributes above 10 in this way.
 A vampire on the path of [[Humanity]] may also spend blood to appear fully mortal for a scene (i.e. their breath will mist on cool nights, their skin loses its deathly pallor, etc). To do this, they must spend a number of blood points equal to (8 - their Humanity).
 Thus, a vampire with Humanity 6 would need to spend 2 points of blood to gain this effect.
 ''Only'' vampires on the path of Humanity can do this, as those on Paths of Enlightenment have completely forsaken their human qualities.

-This dangerous maneuver may potentially damage the attacker more than his opponent. The attacker runs at full speed toward his opponent, hopefully building enough momentum to knock said opponent to the ground. Both combatants must succeed in Dexterity + Athletics rolls (difficulty 6 for the attacker, 6 + attacker's successes for the target) or be knocked to the ground.

Both combatants must succeed in Dexterity + Athletics rolls (difficulty 7) or be knocked to the ground. Even if they aren't knocked to the ground, both combatants take +1 diff for their next roll.
 If the attack roll botches, one of two things happens. The attacker either trips and falls, or he runs headlong into his target and bounces off, leaving his target unharmed but receiving his target's Stamina in damage dice.

 Firing two weapons gives the attacker a distinct advantage, but has its share of complications. Doing so is considered performing a multiple action, complete with reduced dice pools for total shots taken and for any recoil. Additionally, the attacker suffers +1 difficulty for her off-hand weapon (unless she's ambidextrous). Te attacker can fire a number of shots up to each weapon's rate of fire.

 The immobilized character may attempt to escape on his next action. His player must roll Strength + Brawl (difficulty of his opponent's Brawl +4) in a resisted roll against the attacker's Strength + Brawl (difficulty of the defender's Brawl +2). If the defender fails, he remains immobilized. He escapes if he matches the attacker's successes, but he takes damage equal to the attacker's successes (which he may soak). If he scores more successes than the attacker, he escapes without further harm.

-Also called a "dogpile" by the Bone Gnawers, this brutal attack requires at least three packmates, although it can involve five or more for larger opponents.

This tactic involves one werewolf hurling herself at an opponent to knock him to the ground, whereupon the rest of the pack rushes him in Lupus or Hispo form to bite him while he's down.
 The system is simple; the first Garou executes a body tackle or sweep attack as usual. Then, his packmates surround the fallen foe and bite whatever part of him they can reach. This attack can slay most enemies in seconds, but even opponents who are not killed outright must roll Strength + Athletics (difficulty 4 + 1 for each Garou involved, maximum 10) to stand up.
