Actually I think it says in RC that ghouls can live off of clone tissue and medical wastes, so eating cloned muscles and organs wouldn't be any issue. Hell, a ghoul could eat all the factory rejects of the cloned organs. Anything that's malformed, or where the cell-cell bonds didn't form right, leaving leaking membranes in the organ. It would be cheaper to grow a new lung, then try to reseal all the alveoli which didn't form right.

Alright, if the ghouls need to have mana, can't they get a batch of FAB-III, feed it a spirit every once in a while, and eat the tapioca that results? It would be a vegetarian ghoul.

Also, I got the weight wrong, it's 20% of body weight per month. Dwarf 10.8 kg/month 3 skins/month 900 nY/month Elf 16 kg/month 4 skins/month 1,200 nY/month Human 15.6 kg/month 4 skins/month 1,200 nY/month Orc 25.6 kg/month 7 skins/month 2,100 nY/month Troll 60 kg/month 13 skins/month 3,900 nY/month The skins could likely be fortified with other metahuman proteins to up the nutritional value, maybe blood. So our enterprising Street Doc can whip up a clone or two to drain blood off of at whatever rate the bloodsack can be made to produce. OM NOM Long Pork sausage. |

QUOTE (DeathStrobe @ Aug 11 2010, 09:29 AM) I could have sworn I saw an infected Sasquatch character/critter but I can't seem to find it now, so maybe I'm full of it. Anyway, the HMHVV doesn't effect everyone equally. You can technically be infected and it do nothing to you. Of course, you are infected so you can pass the virus to someone else who can be end up turning in to a ghoul or vampire or whatever. So for the critters that don't have a listed out come, I'd say they can't turn in to one of the infected. Bandersnatch! For when being a Yeti isn't quite enough! This reminds me of when Latent Dracomorpohsis was described as the ultimate 5BP quality for total immunity to HMHVV.. |

Interesting - never thought about the quality that way. It can be argued though that getting HMHVV before becoming a dracoform might make the quality null and void. |

It only says that you can't take any Infected qualities if you have Latent Dracomorphosis, so then I guess it's a question of what comes first, the quality wipe or the Infection? You can't be Infected if you have the quality, or you can't keep the quality if you get Infected? Plus there's all that hassle of randomly becoming a dragon. Who wants that kind of headache, amirite? 120 karma in the hole is quite the cosmic debt to pay off... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) "Oh man! I just took this quality for metagame purposes! Now I'm a dragon and completely developmentally paralyzed! Oh cruel fate to be thusly boned!" |

You made me do it...
HMHVV-X The HMHVV-X is the most rare version of the HMHVV virus and should really be called DGDVV [Dragon-Great Dragon Vampiric Virus] but even that is not a completely correct description. Their most popular description is simply Dracolish… The dragon becomes extremely emancipated and bubbling gangrenous sores and scars erupt on it’s body, leaking acidic pus. The entire dragon becomes a magical nightmare that literally leaks mana that must be replenished at regular intervals. Its eyes become sick glowing pits of smouldering mana. At first the dragon will not have any specific discomfort but over time the disease will ravage its body and mind and only the strongest of dragons have the willpower to overcome the creeping madness that consumes them. Few if any of these things exists in a feral state since they will be hunted down when found – the sentient dragons on the other hand have a few working behind the scenes. It is rumoured that the Triads in Hong-Kong is controlled by a Feathered Serpent Dracolish. Attributes: As Dragon + Dzoo-no-Qua Powers: As Dragon +Dzoo-no-Qua Dietary Requirements: Metahuman and/or Dragonflesh (1% month) and Essence (As Vampire) |

Toxic Twisted… Is that a toxic that has become a hardcore enviromentalist and joined greenpeace? Blood insect… That promotes insect evolution and saves nature through blood sacrifice? Shaman… And follows one seriously self conflicted mentor spirit. Sasquatch… Who performs at runner hangouts as a living playback machine for the bands.
