Blitzing and Bloodlust
Posted: Sat Nov 20, 2010 5:35 pm
Just to clarify, a Vampire who fails Bloodlust on a Blitz action eats a thrall after making the block part of his action, and indeed after he continues moving if needs be. Correct? The second part of the skill description I have highlighted red might vaguely imply not. But I have always played it as I described. FYI a search revealed no help on this specific topic.
Blood Lust (Extraordinary)
Vampires must occasionally feed on the blood of the livi ng. Immediately
after declaring an Action with a Vampire, roll a d6: On a 2+ the Vampire
can carry out the Action as normal. On a 1, however, the Vampire must
feed on a Thrall team-mate or a spectator. The Vampire may continue
with his declared Action or if he had declared a Block Action, he may
take a Move Action instead. Either way, at the end of the declared
Action, but before actually passing, handing off, or scoring, the vampire
must feed. If he is standing adjacent to one or more Thrall team-mates
(standing, prone or stunned), then choose one to bite and make an Injury
roll on the Thrall treating any casualty roll as Badly Hurt. The injury will
not cause a turnover unless the Thrall was holding the ball. Once the
Vampire has bitten a Thrall he may complete his Action. Failure to bite a
Thrall is a turnover and requires you to feed on a spectator – move the
Vampire to the reserves box if he was still on the pitch. If he was holding
the ball, it bounces from the square he occupied when he was removed
and he will not score a touchdown if he was in the opposing end zone.
