One blood point can heal a level of bashing or lethal damage in a single turn.In Vampire: The Masquerade 5th Edition, the blood pool has been replaced with a Hunger mechanic.
Douglas Netchurch has made extensive use of it in his research into the thin-blooded. This theory is not widely known, and is too scientific an approach to the Curse of Caine for most vampires to be interested, though Dr. It is through this research he "discovered" blood points, though he called them " Vitae Efficacy Units", or VEUs. However, a Tremere scholar devised a method of quantifying the efficiency of a vampire's vitae, using several scales and experimental measures involving waking, Discipline use, healing, and augmenting the subject's strength.
Similarly, humans have larger blood pools than cows, despite cows having a considerably greater volume of blood.īlood points are a metagame gauge of a vampire's reserves, and most vampires do not think of blood in terms of discrete "points" instead they merely know when they are sated, and when they are running low. The maximum size of one's blood pool is not related to volume elder vampires concentrate their blood internally, so a neonate and Methuselah both store approximately ten pints of fluid, even though a Methuselah will have more blood points than the neonate. When not in torpor, vampires expend one blood point a night in order to sustain their existence, but blood points can be spent in other ways to fuel the vampire's mystical power. In Vampire: The Masquerade, the quantity and concentration of an individual's blood is measured by their blood pool, consisting of a number of individual blood points that approximate how nourishing that blood is to vampires. For the measurement of vampiric energy in Vampire: The Requiem, see vitae (VTR).
