			Success on this roll indicates that the vampire has
			found and subdued prey, in a manner appropriate to
			her methods and the area. She may now ingest as many
			blood points as she wishes to take from the victim (or,
			if the Storyteller prefers, a single die’s worth of blood
			points). Failure indicates that the hour is spent looking
			fruitlessly, while a botch indicates a complication
			(perhaps the character accidentally kills a vessel, picks
			up a disease, enters the domain of a rival vampire, or
			suffers assault from a street gang). If a botch does occur,
			the Storyteller should quickly set up the scene and let
			the character try to work her way out of trouble. Storytellers
			and players should both be creative in proposing
			and describing the hunt to make it dramatic and exciting.
			After all, finding prey isn’t necessarily the hard
			part — it’s holding on to one’s Humanity or preserving
			the Masquerade when the Beast hungers.

			If the character catches prey, but currently has fewer
			blood points in her body than [7 minus Self-Control or
			Instincts], the character is considered to be hungry and
			a frenzy check (p. 298) is necessary — Self-Control to
			see if the character frenzies, or Instincts to see if the
			character can control her frenzy while feeding. If the
			player fails this roll, the character continues to gorge
			on the vessel until she is completely sated (at full blood
			pool), the victim dies from blood loss, or she somehow
			manages to regain control of herself.

			The Fame and Domain Backgrounds reduce difficulties
			of hunting rolls by one per dot (to a minimum of
			3), while the Herd Background adds one die per dot
			in the Background (so long as one’s herd could conceivably
			be in the area). However, Storytellers may
			increase hunting difficulties for particularly inhuman
			vampires (Nosferatu, some Gangrel, vampires with
			Humanity ratings of 4 or below, or who are on Paths
			of Enlightenment), as such monsters find it difficult to
			blend in with a crowd.

			For more information on hunting scenes, see p. 365 -- VTM 20th Edition.

			''Its important not to confuse hunting the action with hunting the skill. An vampire can hunt without the skill, but having it make the action of hunting much easier.'' -- "The Magister 19:52, 6 July 2015 (MDT)"

It is the nature of the vampire
to hunt. For each hour the vampire spends searching
for human prey, allow the player to make a roll
against a difficulty based on the area in which the vampire
hunts. The Attribute and Ability combination
used should correspond to the method by which the
player describes the character’s hunting technique. For
example, Appearance + Subterfuge might represent a
lusty tryst at a nightclub that ends in one of the lovers
slaking her thirst, Stamina + Athletics would suggest
a harrowing chase across a swath of city parkland,
and Wits + Streetwise might be interpreted as a deadly
game of cat-and-mouse.
