per turn, up to their limit. Both bashing
and lethal damage could even be healed at
the same time if you can spend all the Vitae
required to do so.
A character can perform other actions
while healing bashing or lethal damage, as
this recovery is a refl exive action. An undead
character can therefore take as much damage
in a fi ght as a mortal does and heal the
damage back while the fi ght continues. Of
course, a Kindred carries a limited supply of
blood, but she can replenish herself from a
defeated foe. (Although bloodless corpses
or the addictive taste of a fellow Kindred’s
Vitae pose their own problems.)
Aggravated damage presents much greater
diffi culties. Each Health point lost to aggravated
damage costs fi ve Vitae to heal,
and the process takes two nights per Health
point. Those fi ve Vitae must be spent over
the course of the two nights it takes for the
character to heal the wound, though they
need not be spent together. For example,
a player might spend three Vitae after the
character rises on the fi rst night, and two
Vitae after she rises on the second night to
heal the wound.
Note that characters can never heal more
Health points than their Health trait. For
example, a character with 8 Health who has
suffered fi ve points of damage (of whatever
type) can not heal six points of damage and
raise her Health to 9.
When vampires heal themselves, the
rightmost wound of the kind recovered is
erased from your character sheet. So, if two
bashing wounds are healed, the rightmost
ones on your character’s Health chart are
erased. If a lethal wound is healed, the right
most one is erased. The same applies for an
aggravated wound. In the case of lethal and
aggravated wounds, however, if any other
wounds remain to the right of the healed
one on your character’s Health chart, those
injuries shift left one square. No blanks are
left in your character’s chart.
Say your character’s Health chart looks
like this:
