The Ethics of the Path
Embrace only if absolutely necessary, and then only from the jati (family line).
Interpret the svadharma of others and aid them in their fulfillment of it.
Destroy other Kindred, for they are unnatural to maya
Erase karmic debt, dispel maya’s illusions and return to the samsara.
Use deception to achieve your ends, as others bear the fault of distrust.
Confuse the Antediluvians by returning their childer to the cycle.

Current Practices
It is too simple a conceit to say that the Ravnos destroy vampires and burn karma. In fact, the Path of
Paradox is arduous and demanding. Many of the Ravnos’ deceptions are, in reality, complicated tests de-
signed to cause the subject to reveal hidden aspects of herself. Thus, the Ravnos travel the world, ousted by ignorant Kindred who fail to realize the necessity of the Shilmulo’s duties.

Following the Path
Kindred on the Path of Paradox commonly hold other vampires in contempt, believing that they ignorantly or arrogantly refuse to seek their reintroduction to the cycle. As such, the Ravnos have taken the responsibility upon their shoulders to do it for them. This may require concocting complex webs of deception in order to ascertain what a given person’s svadharma is, or simply destroying a vampire and placing her back in the cycle, where a new svadharma awaits.

Common Abilities: Kindred on this Path focus on Abilities that allow them to gain advantage over others, such as Alertness, Empathy, Subterfuge, Stealth, and Investigation.
