| Okay, I kind of have to disagree with Protean being useless (though only kind of).
Protean does make use of the Brawl stat, so work on Brawl/Strength/Protean levels if you want it to be effective. The problem is that it can, if you haven't worked with it a lot, be unwieldy, and the damage gets good only at the higher levels of the Protean discipline. Since you are working in close most of the time I'd also work on Fortitude and Dodge/Wits/Stamina.
This is the first time I've really focused on the Gangrel clan, having run into the same problems described above, but I am now in Hollywood and the two armed uglies go down with a couple of hits.
Bottom line: this is a matter of working on your stats and adapting it to your style of play, but I think that Protean can be very effective (I'll see how it goes in Chinatown and other later areas). |
