My favorite Malkavian build.

Be that crazy Malkavian that all others fear! Be the Bogeyman! And also just talk people into crazy stuff.

Attributes

Physical: All at level 1. You get no choice.

Social: Choose either Charisma or Appearance depending on what sort of childe of Malkov you are.

Mental: Put all in Intelligence. This will help intimidation and reading books for extra skills.

Abilities

Talents: Put the point in Brawl. You want to feed on the unwilling as well as the willing.

Skills: Choose Melee or Firearms to put the points in. This will help when things get messy.

Knowledges: Put all three of the points Scholarship. This will help with convincing people to do stuff in a peaceful way and reading.

Disciplines

Put your Discipline point in Obfuscate. The second level is wickedly good. It allows you to be invisible while crouched and moving. It is super useful for stealth missions.

If you have the Unofficial Patch

To best maximize this build choose Bats**t Crazy or Subtly Insane.
These may lower dodge or make Obfuscate harder to get but you already got that second level in Obfuscate and without that pesky dodge you can wear the heaviest armors without caring about the negatives.
Another reason to choose either of these is because they boost your Dementation. One lowers the cost and one makes it last longer and makes them more powerful.
The choice is up to you on which of these two histories to choose but both are fun so there is no wrong answer.

Final Sheet

Your character sheet should look something like this

Or this

As a final note, you can change some of the Skills and Knowledges to have some Lockpicking by adding to Security or add some Hacking with the Computer skill.

Thank you for reading!

Now you may burst forth and spread your ways of doom! All the vampires will fear your power! I hope you enjoyed this little thing. I wanted others to be able to have the joy of this build so I felt it best to publish this and see what others think.
If you disagree with any of this please say your favorite Malkavian build in the comments so I can try it out. Also this is just my opinion so if it is not your cup of tea don't drink it. This is just for fun and I just want everyone who plays this game to have their best experience possible.
Thank you for reading, I love being able to share my love of this game!

I for one approve of any Malkavian who can talk people into doing crazy stuff, it spreads the love(insanity) around! <3

I'm currently enjoying my first playthrough as a batshit crazy Malkavian.

Personally, I put 3 points into Wits instead of Intelligence for the Defense. I add Intelligence later when I need to read books.

Also, I don't put any points into Firearms as you can buy and rebuy a book to get it up to level 3. Also, I prefer melee, 2 points in Melee, + 2 points from books in Chapter 2, + Nines training get you to level 5 in melee pretty fast

I agree with you on the other points.

Also, get 3 points in Dementation by Chapter 3 for the best dialog option! :)
