It's thematic, faggot. You start with less maximum HPs but can raise it through the power of art. It fits with the clans whole obsession of art and how they're more social focused instead of built like brutes, such as the brujah. You make trades in building making to be good at something else. Basic ass early DnD pricinples before you laarping geeks took over and turned the game into social theater.
