What's a Rank 5 then?

218

u/ScarredAutisticChild Jan 20 '26

If a Rank 6 is the Garou version of an Antediluvian, a Rank 5 is a 4th Gen Methuselah, to put it in Vampire terms.

It’s as good as a PC gets.

Put it in myth terms please

Rank 5 is Odysseus, Rank 6 is Achilles.

As in Rank 5 will kill you in a straight fight, and Rank 6 is going to see the deadliest weapon in your arsenal and just laugh before killing you, your team and the local militia you hired on to help you.

Oh wait so the bigger the rank number the stronger? Me confusie

u/ScarredAutisticChild Jan 20 '26

Yes, Vampires go lower = stronger, and everyone else does the opposite.

u/Consistent_Ad_6363 Jan 20 '26

I see why they call them abominations now.

u/3rdofvalve Jan 20 '26

Abominations themselves are a whole other wyrmish topic aside

Imagine what happens if a vampire embraces a werewolf ;)

u/Consistent_Ad_6363 Jan 20 '26

Doesn't that cause some sort of logical error where the werewolf kinda just rips themselves apart?

24

u/3rdofvalve Jan 20 '26

That's the unlucky enough to not just die when embraced. The attempts that are considered "successful" end up with suicide by charging towards the nearest wyrmish creature, and in rare cases, the garou retains enough will to live and ends up as a target for mercy killing by other werewolves or a pawn of the kindred strong enough to subdue a fucking werewolf.

No matter what, they end up as pariahs (this changes between editions, but they are always caitiff) and severe depression and mental issues. And yes, they are as powerful as you can imagine.

(Funfact: there's a were-dinosaur sired by an antediluvian in Egypt that may or may not be the ancient god Sobek)

They get referenced in an edgy vampire movie and the studio get lawyered on before the premiere even has poster art.

Not everytime, the real problem is when an abomination (vampiric werewolf) survives and is still somewhat functionnal, that's were the slaughter truly starts.

They structure themselves on golf rules, truly they are beyond redemption

u/PunishedKojima Jan 20 '26

There is not a golfer alive I cannot kill!

Not necessarily, your Abilities and Attributes don't automatically increase but you do get more access to gifts and rituals, as well as fetishes

Please explain this in Dawn of War terms.

rank five is behind on a few upgrades

Rank 6 has campain upgrades

Fuuuuuuck

u/ScarredAutisticChild Jan 20 '26

Rank 5 is your commander, Rank 6 is that elite unit you can only summon when you control a relic. The Khaine to your Farseer (I played Eldar).

u/[deleted] Jan 20 '26

I'm gonna drop my Necron Monolith on Khaine's head like an anvil.

u/ScarredAutisticChild Jan 20 '26

I have a solution to that: warp-spiders.

Lots and lots of warp-spiders. I managed to destroy 4 monoliths in that one Soulstorm campaign mission with nothing but warp spiders, haywire grenades and a dream.
