I gotta say, sometimes I DO want to look at game balance! Sure, "levels" for monsters are arbitrary & hard, but it is at least a starting point. I use the WoD system, but I use it to run my own setting. Thus, I really value their framework books, the more abstract the better-- concrete books with sample PCs or NPCs or very specific monsters are just not as useful to me.

Like- if I have a mirror-based monster, are there "mirror powers" to steal? Are they like Numina or like Disciplines? How are the powers?
