MET LARP SRD

Newly embraced vampires are taught that, while vampire blood is much more potent and far more satisfying than human blood, they must take care to avoid it. Yet for some, the allure is strong enough to tempt the occasional indulgence. With this ritual, you can draw greater strength from vampire blood, using it to bring the Beast’s power to the surface as it hungers for more. It is believed that the original curse levied against the Assamites used a modified form of this ritual.

This ritual allows you to enter a frenzied state, harnessing the Beast’s hunger to bolster your Physical abilities. To prepare it, you incite the Beast’s hunger by feeding solely on animal blood for 3 nights prior to its casting on the third night. Thereafter, once you have consumed 3 points of Blood from a single target, you may activate this ritual within 3 turns by spending a simple action. If you do, you immediately enter into an elevated state of frenzy. In this state, you are subject to the standard effects of frenzy and may also use the Strength focus against any target whose blood you have consumed 3 or more points of during that night. You also gain a +2 wild card bonus in any challenges related to Grappling these targets. If you already have the Strength focus, you may use the Disarm, Grapple, Knock Down, or Pierce the Heart combat maneuvers against those targets without spending a point of Willpower.

You may still claim this bonus even if you have consumed their blood in a way that does not provoke a blood bond, such as the focus benefit of Path of Blood: Theft of Vitae or Green Path: Boughs Below. If unused, this ritual expires at the end of the night.
