If you're still drinking your victim's blood when they die, you lose Humanity. Humanity loss makes it easier to become Frenzied and increases the damage over time in this state, forcing you to be more aggressive about claiming victims.

== Structures ==
The most important thing to a Bloodsucker, is sucking blood. The second most important thing is setting a good and safe base for your dark affairs.


== Structures ==
Structures are necessary to create such a base.
 
=== Coffin ===
The first and most important step to creating your base is a coffin. They are needed to stablish the area, level up, and to protect yourself from the burning light of the Sun.
 
To create a coffin either use 5 wood in hand, or craft it through the Tribal crafting menu. Once your coffin is built, you can enter and close it to claim the area around as your '''lair .''' Further structures can only be built within your lair, and if you unclaim your coffin by AltClicking it, all the Bloodsucker structures will be unbolted and your lair will cease to exist.
 
=== Persuasion Rack ===
The second most important structure in your lair, the persuasion rack allows you to turn innocent crew members into your vampiric slaves, the Vassals.

===== Resting Place Altar =====
===== Resting Place Altar =====
Accepting the Lasombra clan grants you the ability to build a resting place altar from metal, rods, and cloth. This structure works the same as a normal blood altar, but you can ascend it to unlock special features exclusive to the clan. You may ascend the altar using '''abyssal essence''', which you can harvest from '''reality smash''' locations on the station. These locations appear randomly and are invisible to mortals; you may harvest one unit of essence per location.

Once you've ascended the altar, you can use it to permanently upgrade your purchased skills for points.  The first upgrade point is free, but you need to spend ranks to gain more.  '''Accepting the Lasombra clan adds an objective to ascend 4-5 skills at the altar.'''

===== Subservent Armor =====
===== Subservent Armor =====
Lasombra bloodsuckers gain the ability to build Subservent Armor using metal and rods; this suit of armor looks inanimate but comes alive if a non-bloodsucker passes too close. Once awakened, it will chase and attack anything around it until subdued, '''including you and your thralls.''' As a Lasombra, however, you are immune to brute damage so this may not be a problem. When killed the armor reverts to its inanimate and unanchored form, allowing you to reuse it.

The armor may be upgraded with five sheets of silver, adding a sword and improving its melee damage output.

''Also known as 'Werewolves', the Gangrel are closely linked with their inner beast, being quicker to fall into Frenzy and more powerful in its throes. The more often they survive a Frenzy, the more animalistic and dangerous they become.''

===== Frenzy Effects =====
===== Frenzy Effects =====
Gangrel bloodsuckers become Frenzied more easily due to their initial loss of humanity. The first two times they enter Frenzy after accepting the clan, they get no special effects. '''On the third Frenzy after entering the Clan, the beast awakens and you become a full werewolf. Accepting the Gangrel clan adds an objective to enter Frenzy 3-4 times in total.'''

====== Werewolves ======
====== Werewolves ======
As a werewolf you are fast, durable, and do a lot of damage. Instead of biting people to feed, you can use the '''Devour''' power to consume a corpse whole and heal yourself. Your normal Bloodsucker arsenal is unavailable in this state, but you can gain wolf-themed powers depending on which standard powers you have unlocked.

Using Devour on three corpses will satiate you and end your Frenzy.  '''Accepting the Gangrel clan adds an objective to enter Frenzy 3-4 times in total.'''  The first four times you leave Frenzy as a werewolf, you will become more robust but more wolf-like, starting with a dog collar.  You can't take it off, but at least you can maul anyone that laughs at you.

The Tzimisce clan can only be played as a ghost role and cannot be selected by ordinary bloodsuckers.  They begin with the '''Dice''' power, which allows them to cut muscles off of corpses or cripple limbs in combat.  Tzimisce cannot use the Masquerade or Veil of Many Faces abilities, as they do not care about blending into mortal society.

Adding muscles to a Persuasion Rack will empower it, allowing you to perform transformation rituals on the poor soul fastened within. All rituals cost blood except for Huskification, which grants a large amount of blood as you draw it all out of the victim.

Most rituals require a willing vassal, living or dead; however, a Tzimisce may revive a dead and unvassalized human at the cost of 150 blood.
