I'm playing a Banu Haqim in VTM 5E, and one of the major abilities of my clan is warding. My question is if exclusions to wards can be granted?

I share a house with my coterie, the house is haunted by a few ghosts, and some vamps or ghouls may visit. As written, I'm not seeing anything about granting exclusions from warding effects, but maybe there's a supplemental book that I could convince my ST to include? If it's a hard NO, that's fine, I just want to know how useful wards really are in my situation before I go sinking XP into them.

Thanks for the recs! I've read and liked The Willows, read and didn't like The Hollow Places (T Kingfisher's self insert characters are getting more annooying), and have The Ritual on hold (enjoyed the movie).

There were some others I'll probably get to eventually, but can't wait for them to come off hold before my trip, so here's a couple that I've found that are available now:

  • In the House in the Dark of the Woods by Laird Hunt
  • The Laws of the Skies by Gregoire Courtois

    Just saw this a couple months ago in theater projected at 70mm, freakin masterpiece. I need to watch it a couple more times just to pay attention to all of the details, watch the stories of each background character.

    I forget where I read it, but apparently this is being pushed to replace or augment court stenography. Apparently, there is more demand for court recorders than stenographers to fulfill (not sure if this is true, but that’s the claim), so this option is being proposed as the AI dictation requires less training than stenography.

    Decades ago, I worked for a laser animation company. We built lasers and created animated programs for planetarium laser shows and live events. It was a fun experience, but hella niche.

    I decided to dust of my ancient Wacom Intuos 3 tablet and give Krita a try for the first time. I really like it over Gimp for illustration. Fast and easy, and played well with my tablet.

    If I can keep up the drawing motivation I'll try to combine this guy with the other characters from that game, get a nice group shot.

    I've been doing some selfhosting and want to setup fail2ban for my exposed apps, but am unsure if that should be setup on my router (OpenWRT), on each server that may be exposed, or just in the Caddy container?

    My setup right now is: TP-Link router with OpenWRT Lenovo M910q with Proxmox, which hosts the following:

    • Caddy in a container for reverse proxies to hosted apps
    • Home Assistant OS in VM#1
    • Other apps in docker containers on VM#2
