Well, kinda, in an absolute sense, yeah, but as Uriah is a 1 and Rex is
a 3, Uriah seems more worth the pool investment than Rex does most of
the time (in an instance where he is worth using), i.e. even with a
worse disadvantage, I'd expect to get more than 1 pool worth out of
Uriah where I generally wouldn't from Rex.

Andrei Puxon - absolutely terrible. ani chi for cel.

Ah, yeah, he is horrible. Although I did use him recently in a deck that
was all about Ravnos/Tumnimos/WoN, and wanted minimal crypt size. But
yeah, replacing him with a 6 is generally just going to be completely
better.

Vittorio is bad also,
though at least the fortitude goes well with Proxy Kissed.

Ah, yes, also bad.

Umm... what's that thing about the crack pipe? Umm... put it down?

Really?

Jane Sims, seriously? I've seen her played plenty of times, and is
usually very brutal.

Huh. I can't imagine ever wanting to put her in a deck. As there are
enough other better vampires that don't have a disadvantage and do have
VIC and are more or less the same size.

She's a 4 cap with VIC aus ani pro. Even if you
don't use the protean, she's a monster. She doesn't pay an extra
blood for Inner Essence, so trust me, she can afford to pay for that
Nose of the Hound or Enhanced Senses or whatever. Oh, and she doesn't
pay extra blood for using KRCG or Rumor Mill either.

Yeah, but still. If I'm building a deck that is all about VIC combat?
I'm using other vampires. And she isn't making the cut.

I can't envision building decks that would use Jane pretty much, well,
ever. But Rex? I can see decks that would use him. But I am clearly
crack addled, so take that for what it is worth.

A disadvantage doesn't have to be made irrelevant if the rest of the
stuff the vamp gets is worth it...

Sure, but in Jane's case, you just play G2/3 and get a a 4, 5, 5, 6, 6
with VIC and other good disciplines instead.
