Animal Sustenance: Vampires can feed on animal carcasses, but animal blood only restores 30% HP in addition to satiating hunger. Chalk, Andy (October 30, 2019).

Retrieved September 21, 2020. The development of Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines began at Troika Games in November 2001. The developers wanted to put a role-playing game in a first-person setting, believing that the genre had become stale. [25] Troika approached publisher Activision with its idea; Activision suggested using the Vampire: The Masquerade license used a year earlier in Nihilistic Software's Vampire: The Masquerade – Redemption, which had experienced sufficient success to merit a sequel. [25] [31] Instead of developing a sequel to Redemption, the development team researched the White Wolf property, including the game's rules and storylines. [32] [25] Troika was a small game studio with five developers and a total staff of thirty-two (including lead writer Brian Mitsoda, who joined the team less than a year after development began). [27] [33] [34] Although some preliminary designs and levels were completed, much of the work was abandoned or redeveloped. [33] Perk: Detect Life: This perk could also be considered a detriment. While other vampires only experience detect life in hunger, the Oculus experience it as a constant, which goes hand in hand with their insight. This allows them to sense enemies and living beings within a large radius.Feeding on living blood will progress the player's vampire rank over time, increasing strength, agility and endurance. This has beneficial effects in combat and opens up perks in the perk tree. The player's difficulty settings will affect the progression rate of vampire rank. These ranks include Vampire Fledgling, Full-Fledged Vampire, Blooded Vampire, Vampire Skirmisher, Vampire Reaver and Vampire Master. A message will be displayed after feeding stating the number of blood points required to achieve the next rank. Rank based STAT increments will be treated as a permanent stat change, only removed if cured of vampirism. Therefore they will not show a + symbol next to the stat. Cannibalism Update: When using the cannibalism perk, if you are a vampire this will also sate blood-lust and activate the Blood Buff perk if you are in combat due to small amounts of blood being ingested while eating the flesh of the victim. It should be noted however that humanity rules still apply if you use the cannibal perk as a vampire. Members of this bloodline have skin that is adapted to aquatic living. Too much time out of the water can cause their skin to dry out, and causes a mental urge to find water resulting in irritability, and mental distraction. Members of this bloodline must submerge themselves in water once every 24 hours to prevent detrimental effects. Submerging brings them mental clarity and restores their delicate skin. Each 24 hour period without submerging in water will cause -1 to all mental stats and increased risk of frenzy amounting to 4 stages in total. In addition, each of these stages provides increased AP rate in wet weather and while swimming. Kindred Souls: Vampires in society look out for each other. The kindred souls perk is a measure of how effectively a vampire can persuade or charm another vampire in dialogue. Non-hostile vampire's consider each other kin, and are more likely to help each other out than they would mortals. Each vampire rank increases the effect of this perk by 10%. Sanguinaire is not compatible with mods that affect the cannibal perk as it uses this to allow vampires to gain nourishment if they eat a corpse.
Rogues are a tribe we’ve seen get a lot of support in the last year. This upgrade path, however, tries to replace blue (a traditionally characteristic Rogues color) with red (a color that sometimes has Rogues). Let’s explore what red has to offer the tribe.
Ramp.The ramp here is pretty weak. We have some of the good staples like Sol Ring and Arcane Signet but we're also getting some meh stuff like Fire Diamond and Unstable Obelisk. Not reprinting Talisman of Indulgence feels like a big miss here, especially since the flavor matches vampires so well. We have some atypical ramp options like Strefan, Maurer Progenitor and that's sweet but this area could use work. Another difficult area was feats. Although common feats worked well, with a random chance of success or failure, uncommon ones would appear to fail more often. To avoid this, randomization was replaced by a degree of difficulty in accomplishing the feat. Although pen-and-paper falling damage is random, the computer game bases damage on the distance of the fall. The team's biggest challenge was adapting disciplines. The pen-and-paper version may require a little blood that requires a long time to use or have no blood cost and can be used at will; upgraded disciplines had additional requirements considered too confusing for a computer game. Troika attempted to equalize the disciplines, keeping the effect intact and normalizing the cost, so a first-level power requires one blood point, a second-level two points, and so on. [40] To balance the clans, the aristocratic Ventrue were only allowed to feed on noble blood, though this was changed to allow them to feed on lower-class humans, receiving less blood. [41] During character creation, the game had an optional character biography with unique positive and negative characteristics (increasing one ability while limiting another). [9] This was removed from the released game; Activision felt there was insufficient test time, and removing it was a more stable option. [42] If the player is seen feeding as a vampire, or using certain vampiric abilities and fails to "deal" with the witnesses, vampire society will hunt them down and have them killed if necessary. Vampire society has extremely strict rules on maintaining the façade that they are merely a myth and do not actually exist. Vampire society sees exposure as endangerment to their survival, and those who step out of line will be punished harshly.

Although many vampire are certain their condition relates to a pure-blood source, no vampire in the Commonwealth has admitted to verifying this. Since FEV is an institute virus, it is easy for one to speculate that they are responsible entirely for the existence of vampires, yet many vampires themselves will reject this idea, as the characteristics of vampires although varied, are too similar to that of vampires in mythology prior to the Great War. Some vampires speculate the Ambitiose Sanguine may know of the existence of Pure-Bloods but are keeping it a secret. Some have even speculated the Ambitiose Leader is a pure-blood himself yet none have ever proved this to be the case. Most vampires are certain that the vampiric institute FEV strains were created during experimentation with vampire vitae and somehow escaped the institute at some stage in history. The truth may never be known. Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty Spoilers — February 4 | Exile Boardwipe, Indestructible Samurai, Legendary Equipment, The vampire's biology is altered after transition. The vampire's new body is technically dead, and reanimated by a force unknown. These changes affect every aspect of the former human body and even cause the vampire to become sensitive to certain substances that can be found in certain foods. Vampires do not look human, and to avoid issues with social disposition often must hide these traits. A vampire's eyes are dead, hungry, change with humanity loss, and they possess sharp teeth designed to tear the flesh of their victims. A vampire's blood chemistry is very different to that of a mortal. Dominate (6): 100% speech challenge success rate and ability to take command of the combat target regardless of level.

Troika's 32-member team began developing Bloodlines in November 2001 as an indirect sequel to the previous year's Vampire: The Masquerade – Redemption. Troika used Valve's Source game engine, then in development, which was used for Valve's own Half-Life 2. The game's production was turbulent, as the design's scope exceeded the available resources, and the team was left without a producer for nearly a year until Activision appointed David Mullich to the role, where he found designs and levels unfinished or abandoned. After three years in development with no end in sight and running over budget, Activision set a strict deadline for completion, and Bloodlines was released incomplete in November 2004.
