Vampire Guide to Feeding
From LiberationMUSH Wiki
Vampires and feeding
This document is a holding place for the collation of the rules for feeding both in general and on supernaturals.
Base rules
The base rules for vampire feeding start on pg 269 of the Masquerade Core book. And can be summarised thusly
- determine appropriate pool for your feeding approach
- drink an amount of blood, the Kiss makes the process enjoyable for the mortal and blurs their memory of the event
- Taking more ten percent of a source's pool is relatively safe
- Taking half of the source's blood puts them in hospital
- Taking all of their blood kills them
- The average person has 10 points of blood, mortals (and non vampire supernaturals) lose one point for every level of damage
Blood targets
| Target Type | Blood amount | Special rules |
|---|---|---|
| Vampire | 10+ (per generation) | Each point of blood drunk from an elder is worth two points of blood |
| Human | 10 | None |
| Werewolves | 20 | Each point of blood drunk is worth two points of blood, each point of vitae increases the difficulty to resist frenzy by 1 until that vitae is spent. You are short tempered and paranoid as long as it is unspent. Possiblity of derangement at ST discretion.[1] |
| Changeling, Kithain and Gallain | 10 [2] | Intense hallucinations[3], no fae sight. Requires Self Control vs (5 + Changeling's glamour/2 round up) to stop feeding. Changeling takes a Banality Trigger[4]. |
| Changeling, Thallain | 10+ [2] | Nightmarish hallucinations, no fae sight. Requires frenzy check vs (5 + Changeling's glamour/2 round up) |
| Changeling, Dauntain | 10+ [2] | Crippling depression, no fae sight. Requires Self Control vs (5 + Changeling's banality/2) to keep feeding |
| Mage | 10 | Potentially provides a Sympathetic Connection as long as the Vitae is in the system. Ergo has implicit risk. |
