I have encountered a bug in my caitiff game. After I chose the pureblood bloodline and disciplines, when I came to the Coat of Arms stuff it never changed my dynasty CoA or house CoA. Is this maybe because I created a custom ruler?

It should have. You get a choice to change your coat of arms, and also then to make it your realm coat of arms.
It should work fine with custom rulers, as custom rulers are the easiest way to have a caitiff (there are a few canon caitiff in the mod, but they are hard to find). I will put it on the list to test.

Thank you for the save file. I was able to replicate the failure. There is also a bug in error log.

Code: 
Script system error!
 Error: Failed to fetch a valid dynasty 'PODcustombloodline7a'
 Script location: file: events/POD_1230objectives/POD_1230objectives.txt line: 6477

I will investigate further. It might be something specific about how you created your dynasty.

Who's the scary Roman Vampire looking lad on the map and can I play as him?

The scary roman vampire is Titus Venturus Camillus also known as Camilla, Pontifex Maximus of the Damned, Prince of Rome, childe of Collat, grand childe of Ventrue, leader of Via Peccati (the Path of Sin). He has the visual effect applied to him by a "wight" trait. He is one of our 1800 playable canon characters. However, if character becomes a wight in the course of a level three stress mental break, its an automatic abdication.

The custom bloodline objective for Caitiff is NEARLY forming a a new clan. It would be easy to adapt. We are adding a bunch of clan legacies in the future that the dynasty head will be able to shape the clan through.

That is pretty neat. Also makes me wonder about bloodlines. The smaller bloodlines are mutations of the larger clans, right? Like how the Sisters of Cacophony probably branched off from the Toreador at some point? I never actually understood how that works in canon. I guess if you have an especially noteworthy vampire siring childer, their 'essence' will just pass on somehow, and thus the offspring may inherit a discipline set and curse different from the original clan? Not that high on my personal priorities list, but I guess it would be cool if a powerful non-Caitiff vampire could found their own bloodline like that.

You think it might be because I first created it with the ruler designer and then your custom ruler designer to give him vampire traits? Anyhow even after the hotfix I can't make it work on my save game :´( Guess I have to redo it at a later stage. Now it is time for the Revenant Revolution.

Yeah I saw it was updated but I think I might have to start a new game for it to have an effect. Just tried on my old save and was still the same.
 
Thank you for the update, pretty cool!
Is it intended that the only way to satiate the hunger is to expend 500 piety hunting humans? I mean, with the piety gain being 1-2 per month that means that it takes 40 years to get it back.
Also, no matter how much blood you drink, you get the same amount of lifestyle experience. So what is the point in 5 different options for how much blood would you take, if you get the same xp and you only get satiated if you drink the human dry? I reported it a few weeks ago and it was supposed to change in this update, but maybe i am missing something.
Thank you! :)

In V5 you can only completely remove your Hunger by draining someone's "heart's blood", so yes it is intended :) With very high blood potency it's supposed to get even harder (which is why the elders like to drink from their childer), but I'm not sure that's in the mod.

I can confirm that you seem to get the same amount of xp with each choice, for some reason.

You can herd your vampire courtiers, maybe prisoners too I forgot. You can even leave them back home and drink from them when commanding an army half a world away. Though you have to be at home yourself to start the scheme.

Rulers cannot be herded or treated as such as I recall. Whether landing your cattle frees your herd slot or not, I do not know.

Yes, i understand, and i am ok that you have to kill the human to get enough blood, but spending 500 piety every time i need to get blood is insane. Like i said, it can take 40 years to get it back. I am supposed to use vampiric powers once every 40 years?
