Long ago, I prepared a Vampire the Masquerade 5E chronicle and asked a lot of questions about the thin-blooded. After a short time, my players decided to play non thin-blooded characters. Now, I want to play a campaign with only thin-blood characters.
Thin-blood alchemy has three distillation methods: Athanor corporis, Calcinatio and Fixatio. I understand them in a way that looks strange to me (mostly Athanor corporis and Calcinatio):
- Athanor corporis: You make your formulas with your own body, and you can keep them indefinitely. You can use only one at a time, and you have to concentrate for 3 turn to switch formulas. Do you keep the previous formula in your body, and just have to switch to have it again, or did you need to re-distill it later to have it again?
- Calcinatio: You make your formulas with kine. They have the formula in them until they have an emotional shift. If you drink their blood, you have the power. Is the formula is still in the human after drinking? What happens if someone else drinks the formula?
- Fixatio: Classic RPG alchemy. You make a potion, it give you powers for a short time if you drink it. Can you share your formula with another thin-blood, so they can use the power too?
