Tickblood

The vampire curses the flesh of a mortal with this ritual. That person’s body now holds more blood than it once did, up to twice the normal amount (which is equivalent to twice that human’s Health score in points of Vitae). Provided that the mortal target doesn’t lose blood during this time in a substantial way, he actually bloats and gains one point of fresh blood regenerated per day (upon awakening in the morning). As this happens, the skin stretches, the belly and fat bloat, the body shifts and distends like a tick filling up on dog’s blood. This “livestock” process does not increase the person’s Health per blood point gained, but he does gain +1 Health by the end of the process because of all the swelling and distension. She stops gaining the “one point per day” whenever blood is drawn from her in large quantities (at least a point taken). Some call this “lancing the boil.”
Whereas drawing blood from humans invokes one lethal point of damage per point of Vitae taken, this is now changed to one point of lethal damage per two points of Vitae taken from the body. In this way, some Savage cultists create whole farms of humans who bloat unnaturally with twice the blood a normal human body can hold.
