Bloodsuckers: Difference between revisions

== Structures ==

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.

 

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.

''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.''

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.'''

 

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.

Accepting Gangrel grants you the ability to transform into an animal. The strength of the transformation depends on the total amount of blood you've drunk:

 

# Under 500 blood you permanently turn into a Felinid. If you're already a Felinid, you become a lizard. Either way, you punch slightly harder and gain natural 30% damage reduction.

# Between 500 and 1000 blood you permanently become a Gorillaperson. You get 35% damage reduction and even more robust unarmed damage.

# Over 1500 blood, you become a Giant Bat. This transformation lasts for two minutes but you can turn back at will. The giant bat is less robust than a full Werewolf, but it still does heavy damage and gets powers based on your unlocked bloodsucker abilities.

 

Your transformation power is single use, but you can recharge it by sleeping in a coffin during the day. You can only have one use of transformation at a time.

 

''The Tzimisce are flesh-shapers, using their mastery of anatomy to create monsters and cripple foes. They often avoid others of their kind, preferring to focus on their experiments.''

 

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.

Tzimisce can harvest muscles from dead humans by targeting their limbs and using the Dice power. Muscles can be combined freely into larger muscles or separated into smaller ones with a sharp object. All limbs can be Diced except for the head and the chest.

 

# Between rank 3 and 5, deals stamina and brute damage to the limb. Regardless of what you were aiming for, the victim drops items in their hands.
