Well, that was informative! Lots of great ideas out
there.

In the end, it does seem to be a bit arbitrary, but
Ben, I really liked your initial analysis.

OTOH, it might be a little unbalancing to allow my
vampire player to suck any more than 20 or 30 HP out
of every normal human he meets. I think I might just
allow him to drain until the victim fails their health
check.

As for whether he can drain from already dead humans,
does anyone know of an official WW ruling on that? My
player will probably know, since he's played VtM, but
as always, the perspective is welcome.

And shepherds we shall be
For thee, my Lord, for thee
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand
So feet may swiftly carry out Thy commands
So we will flow a river forth to Thee
And teeming with souls shall it ever be
