Re: Laws of the Night OOC and Discussion
Alrighty, as promised, here's the Blood, Will and Health
Health: Everyone starts with six boxes, what they are fillex with determines how wounded you are. There's three different types of damage:
Bashing - Indicated with a '/' in the boxes, it represents bruises, small cuts, etc... The kind of stuff a Human could heal overnight. To a Vampire it means practically nothing, unless you manage to take enough bashing damage to fill all your boxes, in which case it imposes penalties, and all further bashing damage is upgraded to the next category.
Lethal - Indicated with an 'X' in the boxes, it represents more lasting damage, broken bones, knife and gunshot wounds. A mortal who fills their health boxes with Lethal is dead, plain and simple, while a Vampire enters torpor, a state of dormancy, and any further damage they receive (Bashing or Lethal) is upgraded to the last category.
Aggravated - Indicated with a '*' in the boxes, it represents a level of damage event he vampiric body has no defense for. Sunlight, Fire, and supernatural tooth and nail are the usual causes, though take enough of a beating and it will have the same effect eventually.
Always put the most damaging symbols to the left, shifting everything needed to the right to make room, if needed. I'll put an example of such up later.
Willpower: Kind of self explanatory, it can be used to refresh yourself when feeling tired once per night, as well as fueling disciplines in some cases. Eve Starts with six, all others get four, and they refill used ones at a rate of one per night.
Blood points: The reason a Vampire exists, to put it simply. Can be used to boost physical ability, heal one's self, fuel disciplines, and rise every night, among other things.
Heres where it gets a little complicated...
Luna, Jaylene, and Clara = 11 maximum, currently 5
Isabella, Jonas, Rashar, Rosary, and Claire = 12 maximum, currently 6
Byron and Ronell = 13 maximum, currently 6
Eve = 14 maximum, currently 7
The Blood and Will differences are due to generation, or how many sires removed someone is from the original vampire. the closer you are, the more potent the blood and abilities that come with it.
