Feeding Merits
Ghouls are not eligible to purchase Feeding Merits unless otherwise noted.
Bloodhound (●) : You may identify the Resonance of a mortal within five steps by spending a simple action to sniff them, then making a Resolve + Awareness check with a difficulty of 3. Ghouls may purchase this Merit.
Iron Gullet (●●●) : You can feed from stale, rancid, and bagged blood. You may feed off blood after it has been removed from the body for longer than 30-minutes, or blood from a corpse that has been dead longer than an hour. No matter what processes have been done to fragment or preserve the bagged blood, you may still Slake normally. Ventrue cannot take this Merit. Vampires with Blood Potency of 3 or higher may not benefit from this Merit.
Viscosity (● to ●●●): Unlike other vampires, your Blood does not become diluted once you tap a Dyscrasia. For each dot in this Merit you may tap Dyscrasias one additional time per game session. You may still only have one Dyscrasia at a single time.
Feeding Flaws
Ghouls are not eligible to purchase Feeding Flaws unless otherwise noted.
Farmer (●●): You choose to feed exclusively from animals. In order to feed from any other blood source, you must spend two points of Willpower. Vampires with Blood Potency 3 or higher may not take or possess this Flaw.
Methuselah’s Thirst (●●●●●): Your Hunger can only be fully Slaked by the blood of supernatural creatures. Instead of having to drain a mortal dry, you must drain a supernatural creature dry, killing it outright (unless it possesses a supernatural quality to survive such an ordeal), to Slake your Hunger below 1.
Organovore (●●●): You may only Slake Hunger from eating human flesh and organs from a live body or one that has been dead for no longer than 30 minutes. Only major organs such as the heart, liver, lungs, and spleen are rich enough in blood to hold Resonance. You may choose to eat these whole, or you may process them into a liquid first. Instead of having to drain a mortal dry, you must kill a living mortal and eat a majority of the organs and flesh to Slake your Hunger below 1.
Prey Exclusion (●) : You refuse to feed from a certain class of mortals. This could include drug users, women, police, humans you consider to be innocent, etc. If you willingly or unknowingly feed from your Prey Exclusion, you gain Stains as if you violated a Chronicle Tenet. Ventrue with this Flaw gain an additional restriction, making their choice of vessels extremely narrow.
Weak Stomach (●●●) : You are squeamish around the sight of blood. Consuming it turns your stomach. For one hour after you feed, you have the Weakened Condition. Characters with this Flaw start every game session with the Weakened Condition. Ghouls may purchase this Flaw.
