Directly inspired by the tabletop source material! It's all about story beats and character growth, combat is downplayed.

End of Each Chapter

At the end of each game session, or chapter, you should award the characters between one and five experience points. One point is awarded automatically, simply because the character experienced the chapter’s events. Despite ourselves, we tend to learn from the follies of others as well as we do from our own.

One Point — Automatic: Each player gets one point at the end of each chapter.

One Point — Learning Curve: Ask the player what his character learned in the course of the night’s events. If you agree with the answer, give the player one experience point.

One Point — Roleplaying: The player carried out the role of her character well, not only entertainingly but appropriately. The player performed as the character should in the circumstances. Truly inspired roleplaying might merit two experience points.

One Point — Heroism: On rare occasions even vampires can truly behave as heroes, risking all to let friends or even strangers escape from certain death. If a character acts heroically and manages to survive, he should be rewarded. Some player might try to take advantage of this idea. Don’t let them. Stupidity and suicidal behavior should not be mistaken for heroism.

The gag long predates Bloodlines, going at least as far back as Diesel Boy's 1999 album "Sofa King Cool," and probably well before that.

2) In classic VTM, elder Disciplines were represented by rankings from six to 10. Caine's got them all at 10. And, well, see attached: With his levels of Fortitude, moonlight's not going to be a problem.

Plot Device
(Any Discipline ••••• •••••)
At a Discipline’s ultimate development, it can achieve any result the Storyteller deems appropriate, within the purview of that Discipline. Therefore, an Antediluvian with a Potence rating of 10 can split mountains, while Fortitude 10 can resist any conceivable attack as long as the Ancient retains a single blood point. Animalism 10 can do anything with animals that the Storyteller wants in order to create a cool scene, Presence 10 can produce any emotional effect the Storyteller needs to advance a plot, and so on for all the Disciplines.
Level Ten powers generally do not enable an Antediluvian to squash characters. (Lower-level powers are quite sufficient for that.) Rather, they serve to create situations that Vampire otherwise cannot adequately represent, and they allow Ancients to destroy cities — or entire nations — when they battle. Not every Antediluvian needs to possess ultimate mastery of all three clan Disciplines, but any Antediluvian the characters encounter should have at least one unique Plot Device to awe and terrify the characters.
System: Level 10 powers do not consume blood points, and they require no dice rolls. They work because the Storyteller says so.
