A new clan joins in The Eternal Struggle:

New Clan: Abomination
Kindred Most Wanted introduces a new clan: Abomination. The members of this clan are printed with the Scarce and Sterile traits. The rules for those terms, and others, are collected section 11 of the new KMW rulebook.

The default sect of an Abomination is Independent (in case anyone wants to impersonate one).

Note that the Abomination library card (printed in Final Nights) creates a vampire of the Abomination clan (errata to that card), so having one of those out will increase the scarce penalty of a crypt card Abomination.

White Wolf has posted the new Trophy rule on the Kindred Most Wanted preview page:

Trophy is a new type of master card. A trophy may be put into play using a master phase action (or can be retrieved as listed under "Red List"). It has no effect until it is moved to a vampire.

When any vampire burns a Red List minion in combat or as a (D) action (including diablerie), the controller of the trophy may choose to move the trophy to that vampire. Any number of trophies in play may be moved to the vampire in this way. Once placed on a vampire, a trophy cannot be moved again.

See the Red List rule for more about playing Trophies.
