Ich bezog mich weniger auf das gesamte Buch, als auf die Tiervampire. Berlin bei Nacht ist beispielsweise weitestgehend auch noch Kanon, die darin enthaltenen Vampirschlangen allerdings nicht.
Es gibt auch noch Zwischenstufen zwischen "vollkommen Kanon" und "gar nicht Kanon"
Wenn du White Wolf jedoch mehr glaubst, hier etwas direkt von der White Wolf Homepage:
Can I Embrace a (whatever)?
Here's a handy chart:
If you Embrace a: You get a:
Werewolf: Dead werewolf, but sometimes an abomination; see the Werewolf Players Guide Second Edition. Embracing other were-foolishness usually doesn't work, but if your Storyteller is deranged enough to permit it, I can't stop her.
Mage: Vampire (Spheres vanish when the Embrace destroys the mage's avatar).
Wraith: Wraiths cannot be Embraced, as they have no physical bodies.
Changeling: Dead elf.
Mummy: Mummy (nothing changes -- sucking out all the mummy's blood kills him, but he'll re-form later).
Risen: Mouthful of fetid corpse-blood and one pissed-off risen.
Gypsy: Vampire.
Hedge mage: Vampire.
Kinfolk/Kinain/Family member of other supernatural entity: Vampire.
Ghoul Vampire
Animal: Dead animal. Yes, this refutes weird and vague references to the contrary from earlier editions, but vampire dogs are pretty stupid, if you stop to think about it, not to mention the various goony things ill-adjusted players will want to create, like vampire rhesus monkeys and whale sharks.
Inanimae: Oh, for God's sake!
