Overview

Blood Potency 2 is the first real step up and the first real cost. Disciplines gain a bonus, mending doubles to 2 Superficial damage per Rouse Check, while your clan bane holds at Severity 2. This system's age table puts anyone dead between six and twenty-five years here, so it is where a surviving fledgling ends up without doing anything in particular. The cost is at the neck. Animal and bagged blood slake only half as much Hunger, which is the first warning that the easy option is closing. Characters who built their unlife around not hurting people start planning here, because Blood Potency 3 removes the option entirely.

Tips and playstyle

Who Has This: Established neonates, characters a few chronicles into their unlife, most surviving player characters after significant experience spending Advantages: A bonus die on Discipline rolls and twice the mending of a fledgling, both for the same single Rouse Check Disadvantages: The beginning of the feeding squeeze, with animal and bagged blood slaking only half and human vessels becoming the default Watch For: Animal blood already slakes only half here, so a Farmer character should plan for the day it stops
