So my friend and I were having a conversation about "useless characters," i.e. characters not built for their specialty (Bards without charisma, fighters without strength, etc.) and came upon a bit of a dilemma: Does such a character even exist for base WoD?
In other words, is there a build using only the base WoD book that is useless in game, or is the character creation too simple to create such a character? We couldn't think of anything, so I'm turning to you for ideas, if anyone is willing to help.

Yes? A bruiser character with no strength or melee is useless.
Why would you want to build something useless?
>>46490376
Well the thing is a bruiser character without strength or melee has to have strengths elsewhere, and so is not entirely useless, hence the question.
And basically I want to roll the most useless mortal possible to see if I can make him survive a WoD campaign.

Then no, you will have to spend the base stats, which will leave you at least competent in something.
>>46490457
That's mildly disappointing
>>46490477
I suppose you could load up on flaws, but really, the system is already not friendly towards mortals, trying to be downsy mccripple is just pointless.
>>46490505
Congratulations, you've given me the idea I needed
>>46490505
So now let's say I wanted to make Downsy McCripple, what skills could I pick without breaking that concept?

He's a fucking nerd who can't focus, can't fight, and can't even do critical thinking.
Pick up the Blind (Persistent) and Crippled (Persistent) condition while you're at itWhat's the alignment of someone who brainwashes people in powerful positions to stop exploiting poor countries or the environment, effectively destroying their personality?.

Is this a copypasta now

In a classless system, the character's archetype becomes obvious shortly after the character creation points are spent. And there's lots of instances where you can end up with entirely useless characters.
I've seen WoD characters capable of doing nothing but playing a wicked cello or living indefinitely innawoods. When it comes to applicable skills, there are some people who make characters that are so bad at all of them they don't fit any archetype.
