SFX
Blood Points
Characters have a number of blood points equal to the rank of their scale die. Spent blood points become GM plot points.
Blood Point SFX
All PCs have access to these SFX
- Recovery: Dead flesh doesn't heal in the normal fashion, nor may the beast be calmed by mortal means. Only blood will do. Spend a blood point to step Stress back one step.
- Note: The beast within is a survivor. Durability must be stepped back below Savagery before Savagery can be stepped back.
- Birthright: Vampire powers may only be amplified by blood. Spend a point to step up or double one Birthright power for an action.
- Exchange: Blood is always an available source of advantage. Spend a blood point in lieu of a plot point.
- Note: Plot points can never be spent in lieu of Blood points.
Blood Point Recovery
- Hunt: Failure (rare) steps up Savagery stress | Success regains one Blood Point | Extraordinary Success (5 or more over the difficulty) regains two Blood Points | Killing the victim gains 3 Blood Points, but earns or steps up the Hunted complication, affecting all the PCs.
- Note: You can never have more blood points than your maximum.
- Note: Feeding from animals never grants more than one blood point per scene, regardless of the quantity consumed (GM may set a minimum number of small creatures needed to reach that one point).
- Sleep in the Earth: Each day spent sleeping in the earth earns you a recovery roll to regain blood points. Difficulty is 10 + the total number of blood points you are down. Even a failed roll restores one blood point | Success restores two | Extraordinary Success restores three.
- Note: Blood points may not be spent on this roll.
- Shut Down a Birthright Power: You can shut down a Birthright power to earn a blood point. The power may be reactivated by spending a blood point to do so. Otherwise it is recovered automatically after spending a night asleep in the earth.
