About the game
Justice & Mercy is an expansion for Vampire: The Masquerade - Rivals that adds two new clans, each on a different path: BANU HAQIM & SALUBRI. The Banu Haqim are judges and lawbringers with both martial and sorcerous tools at their disposal. The Salubri are a clan on the run, simply trying to survive – alone if necessary. Rarest of all the clans, their mending abilities are second to none. You may play these two clans head-to-head or integrate them with your other clans to create new strategies! —description from the publisher
