Tier of Souls

From The World Is A Vampire
Jump to: navigation, search
Animalism 6

A vampire with this power gains more than mere sustenance from the blood she drinks. She also gains insight into and even abilities from the donor. Moreover, if the being from which the vampire drinks has recently fed, she may gain similar awareness of that creature. If that creature had also recently eaten before being consumed, the vampire may likewise acquire the powers of that victim, and so on. (Renfield wasn't so crazy after all...)

System: The vampire must drink the blood of her prey and make a Perception + Animal Ken roll (difficulty 7). Each success allows either a memory or an Ability to be accessed; alternatively, three success can be "converted" into one of the victim's Disciplines, Attributes or innate powers. The vampire may choose one of the victim's Traits or may select from anything that the victim (or the victim's victim, etc.) has eaten in the past 24 hours. The effects last until the vampire expends the creature's Blood Points. Only one "tier" can be maintained at a time.
