I recall, in a previous version, there was a penalty for biting the same person repeatedly.

I more vaguely recall that he IC justification was something about each vampire taking different nutrients when they feed, or something like that.

I have lately been getting 0 LF from victims that I have fed from before, even with weeks in between. They seem to still get the penalty. I bite a fair variety of different people. Some once, some are repeats. Sometimes, they are helpless. Sometimes, they are not.

In the interest of being able to roleplay through this appropriately:

1. Is there in fact a penalty for the vampire if a victim has not been fed on by any other vampires since the last bite?

2. Is there likewise a penalty for the vampire if they haven’t bitten someone else since last time?

3. What is the IC explanation?

4. Is there a common IC term for this phenomenon that vampires might use when talking to other vampires?

5. Does all of this apply to blood drinkers, as well?

There is probably a penalty if the person has been fed on by someone else. I think being fed on more than once every 2 weeks decreases the value of your blood. And if you’re feeding on someone supernatural it’s like 2% anyways. The same penalty happens if they bleed themselves, get victimized for blood etc.

IC I think people tried to explain it like… you are drinking the magic from their blood. They haven’t regenerated the magic yet.

Going by the old code:
There’s a penalty to your benefit to vampires if you were drained. Supers give significantly less than non-supers. There’s a penalty if the biter is also the last biter. Benefit for virgins that only counts if they weren’t the last biter. The amount of LF thevictim has matters. Higher tiers provide more blood potentially. Being bitten twice in about a day of time will lead to the vampire being punished instead of rewarded for biting.

Not 2 weeks unless things drastically changed – that would be weird, there’s nowhere near enough fun bite targets for vampires if each has to have a 2 week cool down.

Only Nova can truly elaborate, but I hope this helps for now.
