The Path of Blood - V20
Introduction
Almost every Tremere studies the Path of Blood as her primary path. It encompasses some of the most fundamental principles of Thaumaturgy, based as it is on the manipulation of Kindred vitae. If a player wishes to select another path as her character’s primary path, the Storyteller may require additional reasoning (though choosing a different path is by no means unheard of).
• A Taste for Blood
This power was developed as a means of testing a
foe’s might — an extremely important ability in the
tumultuous early nights of Clan Tremere. By merely
touching the blood of his subject, the caster may determine how much vitae remains in the subject and, if
the subject is a vampire, how recently he has fed, his
approximate Generation and, with three or more successes, whether he has ever committed diablerie.
System: The number of successes achieved on the roll determines how much information the thaumaturge gleans and how accurate it is.
