Vampirism Scourges

Vampirism is the Discipline of vampires and other undead creatures that feed upon the blood of the living. It is one of several Disciplines within the greater framework of the Undeath Philosophy, an ancient source of power that animates and empowers all undead. Through this Discipline, creatures of undeath draw strength from the stolen essence of life itself.

The Vampirism Discipline centers around powers tied to blood—the stealing of it, the shaping of it, and the terrible strength it bestows. Practitioners use these powers to drain vitality from their victims, manipulate blood for dark purposes, or enhance their own supernatural abilities. While most commonly associated with vampires, this Discipline may also be wielded by revenants, bloodthralls, or other beings touched by the hunger for living essence. Its powers are both parasitic and predatory, reflecting the cold elegance and cruel necessity of undeath.

Blood Points

Blood Points are fragments of stolen vitality, concentrated remnants of bloody life essence siphoned from others through powers in the Vampirism Discipline. They often cling to the creature in eerie, supernatural forms. Some appear as glistening streaks pulsing beneath translucent skin, like veins filled with liquid ruby. Others manifest as floating crimson shards that orbit in rhythmic patterns, each glowing faintly with latent power. In more grotesque cases, they ripple across the body as writhing patches of animated blood, shifting like a living cloak. The exact appearance differs from one creature to another, shaped by its origin and demeanor.

Blood points are temporary and last only until the end of a short rest. Blood Points can be used directly to pay for the cost of any power requiring Blood Loss on a one-to-one basis (e.g., 2 Blood Points can be used to pay for a cost of 2 Blood Loss).

Blood Points and Hunger

Creatures that have the Eater of Blood feature can spend 3 Blood Points as an Immediate Action to restore 1 point of Blood Loss, which may reduce their Unnatural Hunger Level by 1. Blood points used in this way never count as feeding from a specific race or creature.

Frenzied Augments

Frenzied Augments are special augments available on some Vampirism powers. They are used exclusively while the wielder is Frenzied by Unnatural Hunger, and must be applied during that state.
