Jake, is it possible you're remembering something from V:TM? That's how it worked in that system.
I have a lot of overlap between SR and V:TM in my head because I ran several HMHVV-themed games, and I ended up houseruling and homebrewing the vamps using a lot of ideas I nicked from V:TM. (Vamps in my game spent Essence for their powers, similar to the way blood points worked in V:TM. Also, I had a lot of different strains of HMHVV that had different powers, which was similar to the way clans worked. There were also a group of crazy vamps in my game that thought the V:TM books were coded references from ancient vampires-- when the PC's were hunting down a vamp who had The Book of Nod, the book turned out to be a White Wolf game book.)
Just because I used the word 'torpor' doesn't mean I'm fixated.
