Conversions to Mage

Arete

Vampire: the Masquerade

A vampire's Arete is equal to the level of the highest Discipline she knows.

Werewolf: the Apocalypse

A Werewolf's Arete is equal to one plus any additional Gnosis. Neither score comes into play often.

Quintessence

Vampire: the Masquerade

A vampire's Blood contains Tass, useable quintessence. One point of Tass can be extracted from each Blood Point of potent blood. This quintessence can also be 'stolen' from a vampire using Prime, each point of Quintessence stolen reduces the vampire's blood pool by one.

Werewolf: the Apocalypse

Werewolves store quintessence as current Gnosis. Whatever Gnosis the werewolf did not use up before death can be recovered as Tass (usually its tail). Quintessence can also be 'stolen' from a werewolf using Prime.

Paradox

Vampire: the Masquerade

Vampires do not accumulate Paradox. Vampiric powers cannot be used as 'Coincidental' effects. Vampires and their Ghouls do not count as Witnesses to Vulgar Magick.

Werewolf: the Apocalypse

Werewolves do not accumulate Paradox. Werewolf Gifts, Shapechanging powers, and Spirit Charms cannot be used as 'Coincidences' to cover otherwise Vulgar effects. Garou and their Kinfolk do not count as Witnesses to Vulgar Magick.

Arcane

Vampire: the Masquerade

Vampires with the Obfuscate Discipline gain the benefits of Arcane of the same level.
