Herd

Description

You have gathered a group of mortals from whom you feed without fear of reprisals or risking the notice of mortal authorities. A vampire with the Herd background doesn’t have to go far to hunt; the Herd offers a safe and easy way to gain blood. You must define your Herd, whether they are kinky club-goers captivated by a vampire’s charisma, or a fanatically religious cult that views you as some kind of priestess or incarnate divinity. A Herd could be a group of enslaved prisoners, a medical pass that gives you access to fresh blood supplies, or a personal zoo of animals. Work with your Storyteller to describe the exact nature of your character’s Herd.

System

Characters with the Herd background do not have to spend a downtime action feeding each game. If plot, influence actions, or other circumstances require vampires to spend more than 1 downtime action feeding, you reduce the number of downtime actions required by a number equal to your dots in Herd. If you have more dots in Herd than you must expend for downtime actions to feed, you may allow other individuals to feed on your Herd, thus using the dots to supplement their downtime actions in the same manner. Additionally, at any point you may spend five minutes out-of-game feeding rather than the standard 15 minutes. If you do, you will gain a number of Blood points equal to your herd rating. You cannot allow other characters access to this advantage.

Errata

In the sentence “Characters with the Herd background do not have to spend a downtime action feeding each month,” replace “month” with “game.”
