So I was having a consistent crash around turn 200, not sure why best i can figure is too many units or something. Im playing on longer difficulties. Was trying to find a way to at least extend the playable time frame before getting a crash and I saw that removing the EUI might help with memory overflow issues. So I uninstalled the version I was using (4.22 I believe) and went to reinstall and now its just telling me "Missing Required DLCs" everytime i try to install. I've checked and its using the correct location, I have all the files its looking for as best I can tell. But I have not found anyone else able to resolve this exact issue. I've tried using older versions of VP, same problem. I've tried manually installing it, get a broken version where Units dont appear to be selected but are and I can't choose research cause there's no tech tree.

Can anyone help me figure this out? Please and thank you!

I've seen this mentioned a few times, and it seems to be accepted as a rule but I can't actually find it anywhere in the book. But is there a specific point where Loresheets are called out as limited to only buying from 1 for a given PC?

The only rules I can find just seem to indicate the Storyteller has the right to veto buying form any sheet that might disrupt the game, either in the intended plot or the mechanics. Which makes sense for some of the powers. Since you don't want people with Veins of the Earth 1 declaring a bunch of random places to be Furcuses (Furci?) if the plot is meant to include those as a rare resource being fought over.

But I don't see anything about a player only ever being allowed 1 Loresheet. Is there a specific page that contains this ruling? I've mainly referenced Vampire 5e so if its an addition from a later book that would explain it. but V5's core book doesn't seem to contain it.

Say a Thinblood engages in pack Diablerie. (Since pack Diablerie can't lower a Thinbloods generation this would result in a thinblood with Disciplines and/or Blood Potency above 0). Can they later raise whatever Disciplines they gained this way with normal XP? say for instance that you have 2 XP and engage in Pack Diablerie. you get your 5 additional XP and use it to grab the first dot of a discipline, since I'm pretty sure you still pay the normal XP costs for any disciplines.

Now you have lets say Celerity 1. Can you later spend the 14 XP needed to buy it up to Celerity 2? in effect are you treating this as though its a normal Discipline? or can you only raise it further via more Diablerie?

Additionally, is there a limit on how high you can raise a given Discipline via Diablerie? Blood Potency is explicitly limited to the level the victim had it at. But Disciplines aren't called out as this. Is it then possible to raise you Disciplines higher than what the victim had? theoretically allowing you to Max a Discipline that the victim only had the first dot in? I know this is an incredibly unlikely scenario, just wondering is its possible in the rules.

Edited: Removed reference to the Discipline Affinity merit. Was originally included as an example but people seemed to be missing the point. This is not about gaining merits through Diablerie, just asking for peoples opinions on a specific edge case scenario.
