A character with a three trait enemy will likely not survive the first session as their enemy who is significantly more powerful than they are, will show up and kill them and it will be easy A super elder on the top 100 powerful kindred list is worth 4 points. while an order of mages or an entire organization of hunters, or the black hand, yes all of them, devoted only to the extinction of you personally would be worth five Traits.
