Editing LeviathanTempest:ChapterFour (section)

==== Lifeblood of Titans (Ancestral Channel) ====
''The immense ancient creatures were beyond death as it is currently understood.  A Leviathan who pursues the remnants of this power in its blood finds that same spark of terrible life, which refuses to be constrained to the scale of modern life.''
* “Depth 0”: Birthright of Vitality
* “Depth 1”: +1 Size. Size from Lifeblood of Titans stacks with the regular increases from Transformation.
* “Depth 2”: As above, and +1 Health Level
* “Depth 3”: As above, but now +2 Health Levels. 
* “Depth 4”: As above, but now +2 Size.
* “Depth 5”: As above, but now +4 Size.
* “Depth 6”: As above, but now +8 Size and +3 Health Levels.
'''Drawback:''' Get used to destroying your clothes when you Transform. 
'''Adaptations'''
* ''A Mountain Walked'' (OOO to OOOOO OOO, Requires Sheol 3+): In Apotheosis Form the Character may spend four Ichor and a Willpower point to grow enormously. They gain one size point a turn up until a final size determined by the number of dots in this Adaptation: Respectively: 20, 25, 30, 35, 40 & 43. Leviathans may purchase a number of dots in this Adaptation equal to their (Sheol). Size granted by this Merit, unlike Size granted from other sources, explicitly cannot be converted to Stamina via the Depth 5 iteration of No Mysteries of the Flesh. Once a Leviathan has activated this Adaptation the additional size remains until they Transform to a lower Depth. This Transformation takes longer than normal: one turn per point of Size from this Adaptation. 
**A Size 15 character is roughly 2 stories tall and weighs roughly 8,000 pounds, or about as much as a large SUV. 
**A Size 20 character is roughly 3.5 stories tall and weighs roughly 30 tons, or about as much as an IFV. 
**A Size 25 character is roughly 7.5 stories tall and weighs roughly 200 tons, or about as much as a blue whale. 
**A Size 30 character is roughly 14 stories tall and weighs roughly 2,000 tons, or about as much as a naval frigate. 
**A Size 40 character is roughly 30 stories tall and weighs roughly 20,000 tons, or about as much as an aircraft carrier. 
**A Size 43 character is roughly 45 stories tall and weighs roughly 60,000 tons, or about as much as Godzilla.
**A Size 66 character is roughly 960 stories tall, the size of Mount Everest.

===== Sidebar: Size and Health =====

The rules for temporary health dots (WoD Core. P 173) state that when a character looses a temporary health dot such as one granted by A Mountain Walked they retain any damage within that health dot. While this rule works nicely for small health bonuses it can start to act a little odd when a character has a huge bonus. A minor wound could become fatal when a Character shrinks down after using A Mountain Walked. There are two options for this: The first is to embrace it, even a moderately wounded giant is trapped in its huge form until it can find a safe spot (not easy at titanic sizes) and heal. The second is to use an alternative system for temporary health: Work out the proportion of Aggravated, Lethal and Bashing damage in relation to the total health dots and ensure the proportion remains the same after the character shrinks. 

A second change you may consider is to make wound penalties apply earlier. For every 20 health dots a character has move the start of each wound penalty two dot to the left. For example a character with 20 health dots suffers -1 at 14 dots, -2 at 16 dots and -3 at 18 dots. Making wounds penalties start earlier provides a more natural progression than limiting them to the last fraction of a characters health but also allows an impressive gap between when a Leviathan starts to weaken and when it finally goes down.
