I would say that Kemintiri's ability to dodge Antediluvian level dominate and bloodbond is indeed a special condition. It's not explained, presumed from her background with Cult of Isis, but she is not a girl_next_door.type.
True about Bardo 9, but Kemintiri's own is Bardo 7. It's unattainable power in canon. If you want to introduce it to the game it would of course explain the trick with wight perfectly, but is it good idea? It's no longer about feature in itself, it's about complications that arise from it in your own setting.
In the mod wassail is an alternative to "nornal" death. As long as wight is just another form of being dead, it makes no difference. But do you want wassail to be a good thing, a way to cheat death?...
In our specific case, we mostly draw from the Kindred Most Wanted (the first one) p88 which describes Khetamon healing Kemintiri from it using a "rudimentary form of Bardo". It doesn''t mention Kemintiri being special in any form in that case.
Bardo itself has some even crazier powers, like Bardo 9 which is straight up a ressurection. So that wouldn't be out of line for this discipline (and makes thematic sense).
Gameplay wise, it's very niche and inconsequential anyway. But it's flavorful, has some basis in the lore (which anyone is free to disagree on obviously) and offers an interesting niche power so it will stay available in the mod.
I don't like that example. At all. It's carefully described how Kemintiri had some mystrious pre-condition that allowed her to resist everything Seth was throwing at her, except for embrace. Her "survival" after the wassail, leaving something behind for Khetamon to revive, is just another miracle in a long string of Kemintiri-related miracles. And even then it worked only partially. She has "forgotten" the Spell of Life and, I have to assume, a zillion less important things about herself. I would argue that the vixen of the Red List is a different character than the one who stood against Set. Usage of the discipline she created as universal cure for wassail is a huge leap of imagination, imo....
When playing as the Forgotten Osirian you can access all of the normal setite legacies if the main clan has unlocked them (which is pretty cool ) except the one which gives you founding temples, even if you convert back to setite and get serpentis.
You caught me off guard. When I have seen him, I of course thought it would be cool to have a way to restore him during my own ascension. I had to discard the idea as momentary weakness, because in my mind a wight is not a state where vampire is completely dominated by the beast, not even fully dissolved into it, but utterly destroyed. The non-existence, which you can't restore from or metamorph into something else.
I kinda understand why Bardo exactly, but do you have any lore reference or is it your head cannon? I am curious, not critical either way. It's never been a topic of real interst to me before, just one of a many "up to the storyteller" things.
