Path of the Vampire forum

Wanted to see what people thought of this and if it would be a reasonably applicable thing. Alexandrea actually suggested to me to make some kind of chart and I ended up just making this to see if it was good. It may just be a placeholder right now, to see what vampire characters/players think of it.

Also, it's mostly OOC unless there's a legit tiered or easy way to say "yeah these are the easiest to learn, these are the hardest" for IC means. And you'd have to say "this is the number of powers of each type" or "this would be the total" as Crawley, and I imagine newer blood thieves as well, doesn't have the ability to access all the tiers of powers just yet so unless appraise is a power she gets, she can only guess for the powers that she did obtain.

Double blood thieves can access tier 1 of bridge powers. It's their specialty power.

That's why I put
"bridge and mastery powers are not applicable as they are unreachable by blood thieves, but may still raise the price should double down blood thieves have counteroffers."

But I don't think most are double which is why I said they are unreachable and put double down in a separate category of sorts because of it.

Ah, yeah. Sorry. Misread that, I think.


If I understand correctly, you're suggesting paying $8,000 for every power on a single path. Most vampires have more than one path open which will raise that price quite a bit. You'd be looking at ~$48,000 if you can find a vampire that has all the paths open. Even more if you double BT and can access bridge powers.

Given the longest a BT keeps their powers is 11 days with all the duration powers unlocked, that averages out to ~$4,400 a day for all of them. It's a bit high and outside the reach of most newer BT.

Granted, most vampires don't have -all- the powers on every path, but I think, conservatively, you're still looking at the price being a bit higher than is affordable for most.

Couple ideas to consider:
- A flat rate sum per path the vampire has open. More paths = more potential powers at each tier.
- A base rate for feeding plus a bonus amount for each power the vampire has that your character is specifically looking for.

It's an interesting idea!

Man, I really hadn't realized just how pricy that could get. I knew it could be expensive but I hadn't quite done the math.

I'm gonna see if I can incorporate some of this into it properly and maybe work on details a little more. Thanks!

I made some edits, this way if someone wanted all the powers it'd be around 18,500 for a feeding or around 1,682 a day (which sounds like a lot but most aren't looking or can get all powers, most vampires don't have all powers like you said, and there's a fair chance they aren't feeding from only the ones with all the powers.)

My gosh you put a lot of work into this! <3 Thank you & I think Alex will have to be giving Crawley a raise! :)

Thanks!

I'm sorry, I think I've missed the point entirely. >.<

Are you asking what would be an appropriate price for a BT to pay a Vampire for their blood? With the price increasing for the amount of powers the BT could obtain from the Vampire?

Yes
