# Feeding Rules

The system for feeding in RHC run Vampire chronicles (e.g. Baltimore After Dark) operates somewhat differently than tabletop rules.

### Standard Hunting Scenes

Players may roleplay-out hunting and feeding.

Any player may play a 'victim NPC for the hunting player's character using a generic mortal.

<p class="callout info">A player who plays a 'victim NPC' for a standard hunting scene can receive bonus XP to be applied to one of their characters so make sure that they are noted in your #scene-summaries post.</p>

### Weekly Feeding

Each character must perform a weekly feeding roll or lose half their remaining Blood Pool and be subjected to a Frenzy check at a difficultly of 6.

<p class="callout success">A successful weekly feeding roll will fill-up the character's blood pool to their generational maximum.</p>

<p class="callout danger">The results of a botched weekly feeding roll or a failed Frenzy check will be provided by the Storytelling staff.</p>

To perform your character's weekly feeding, roll as follows:

**Pool:** A justifiable Attribute and Ability combination that reflects the character's hunting technique. E.g.: Appearance + Subterfuge might be used to seduce someone, Stamina + Athletics could represent chasing down a jogger, and Wits + Streetwise could be used to find an unsuspecting homeless person.

*Pool Modifiers:* Herd (+1 / dot)

**Difficulty:** The difficulty depends on the area your character is attempting to hunt in as follows:
