I would love to look into reworking Eternal Hunger.

There is no roll, so it can be easily abused. If I am quite hurt I just walk into a crowd and feed. Yes, I the MC can push back, but without the roll or the Miss, it is kind of hard too.

  1. If a player wants to treat that move like that, they are marking corruption which is a cost of sorts. 

    Also, how do they pull off feeding in the middle of a crowd? Odds are whatever they attempt will require a set-up roll, so the dice will still hit the table.

  2. Are you kidding me? Vampire fiction is full of vampires who have to resist the urge to feed on humans who are unwilling victims. Angel, Nick Knight, Mick St. John.

    Corruption is about losing your humanity, I think reducing people to cattle is extremely inhumane.

  3. A solid point. There is so much vampire fic out there, you could have a thousand different opinions here. If I’m not mistaken, you have altered the Eternal Hunger move for your hack already, haven’t you?

  4. For the roll, I see it being a +Blood, +Heart… or even a +Corruption roll (like we have for the Malkavian penalty).

    The good thing about the +Corruption part is that it benefits those people who treat others like cattle or don’t care about their former humanity.

  5. Another idea is don’t make it a roll at all, just extend the current benefits by saying “You aren’t seen/caught.” or something.

    Now we may need to increase the options the vampire can take by 1, but there you go.

  6. Round one:

    When all is said and done, the most fundamental difference between humans and vampires lies in their methods of sustenance. Vampires may not subsist on mortal food; instead, they must maintain their eternal lives through the consumption of blood — fresh human blood. When you feed, roll+Heart. On a 10+, choose two. On a 7-9, choose one:

    • Ask them a question (they must answer 

    truthfully)

    • You heal 1 damage

    • They don’t die.

    Note: The willing and unexpected do not resist, as the ecstasy of the kiss overwhelms the mortal’s system. If the victim is willing or the act is unexpected, take +2.

    The corruption can almost stay the same …. thinking on this.

  7. Tweaked the phrasing a tad:

    Eternal Hunger: Vampires may not subsist on mortal food; instead, they must maintain their eternal lives through the consumption of blood – fresh human blood. When you feed, roll+Heart. The ecstasy of the kiss overwhelms the mortal’s system making it impossible to resist, take +2 when you feed on the willing or the unexpected. On a 10+, choose two. On a 7-9, choose one:

    Ask them a question (they must answer truthfully)

    You heal 1 damage

    They don’t die.

    If you feed on the same person again in 24 hours, you may not choose “They don’t die”.
