From the Back of the Book:
When Diplomacy Fails...
Not all conflicts are resolved with politics and manipulation. Survival is a tricky business, and the average denizen of the World of Darkness had better know a thing or two about fighting. Once the Black Spiral Dancers smash your door into toothpicks or the Spectres boil howling out of the Tempest, there's no more time for words.
It's Time to Beat Some Heads In!
