[gurps] RE: How much blood?

[Chris]

This is an interesting discussion, I am currently in a White Wolf Sabbat 
Campaign and the information I can glean and match is this;-

1, The average human in WW has 8 blood points.  I supose it is possible that 
more could be retreived but it would be harder and take longer to get those 
last couple of points from those extremeties with pressure dropping to a ver 
low ebb by that time.
2, In GURPS, I reckon 8 out of 10 hit points (80%) lost due to blood loss 
means you are in a very bad way.  Major hospitalisation at the very least 
and this must be immediately or wave bye bye.  (Most damage in GURPS is 
usually treated as tissue damage and not blood loss so this is viable)
3, In WW 1 point of blood heals either 2 points of bash(Basic contusions), 1 
point of lethal(Guns, Knives etc) or 1 fifth of a point of Aggravated(Major 
supernatural damage or a sucking chest wound type of damage).
4, In GURPS I reckon you can probably use use the same method for healing 
wounds.  1 point of blood should be able to heal 2 points of (Non bone 
breaking) Crushing damage, or one point of (MINOR) cuts, impaling or bullet 
damage.  5 Blood points should be able to heal 5 to 10 points of mortal 
wound type damage.  This would mean keeping a log of each type of woulnd you 
take.

The next major question is "How much blood pool the vampire has" (Personaly 
I prefer the WW version on this.  The average starting Vamp would have a 
pool of about 10)He could spend Advantages to increase this by one or two 
levels.
Also, "How much blood can the Vamp spend each turn"  In WW this is linked to 
the Vamps Blood potency.(Blood potency/2 rounded down, minimum 1)

I can't say this is viable in the questioners game but it does make for a 
simple crossover and cuts out a lot of hassle.
It also means that he/she will need a full body or SIX to heal those 73 
points of damage.  Nearly a full minute for feeding alone, not forgetting 
the hunting for the next body.  Also over a ful minute for healing.  This is 
assuming he/she does not get injured further during the hunt.

I hope some of this is usefull Lucas.

All the best in the games,  Chris
