Question about Vampire Victims & Regeneration

Gef · 06-17-2021, 12:50 AM

Here's a template from my old fantasy game with a similar concept, though I gave higher HP, and Very Rapid Healing without any limitation, to make them blood banks:

Hemodrone
‑7 points
Bred by generations of blood mages to be the ultimate slaves, hemodrones are utterly subservient, easy keepers, strong manual laborers, and hardy walking blood banks. Striking ST +1 (5), Lift ST +2 (6), HP +5 (10), IQ‑1 (‑20), HT+2 (20), Speed ‑½ (‑10), High Pain Threshold (10), Reduced Consumption 2 (Cast Iron Stomach ‑50%; 2), Resistant +3 to Disease (5), Temperature Tolerance 2 (2), Very Rapid Healing (15), Fat (‑3), Short Lifespan (‑10), Slave Mentality (‑40), Unattractive (‑4). They are found mainly in societies dominated by blood mages and vampires, where they are nothing more than valuable property and own none themselves (Social Stigma and Dead Broke, but these would come from a cultural lens instead of a racial template).

Why isn't this ST+1, Lifting ST+1 and HP+4? Or even just Lift ST+2 and HP+5. Nobody builds Striking ST into slave races.

As another note Bio-tech wouldn't allow you to breed anything but ST up to +2 with regular humans. You'd have t use gene-altering magic to get your template.

They do if they're planning to use them as gladiators and janissaries or similar.

It is, sorry.

Hey, I wasn't offended. Just rather puzzled.
