Re: How much for royal blood?
Definitely. Cleaning the container could mean a nice, clean, bloodless container!

Actually, by "pick a number that looks right," I think you're confusing the GURPS system with the bureaucracy of Megalos.

As for the effects, frankly it's never come up in this campaign, and was unexpected when it did. In a previous campaign, we essentially figured things as the rarer and more harder to get the blood, the more valuable. I don't have the details at hand, but I remember three drops of dragon heart's blood (blood that came directly from the heart) was a vital ingredient in an expensive elixir. In the current campaign, we're partially making things up as we go along (it's a half-serious, half tongue-in-cheek campaign). I thought I'd just throw it out here and see what people came up with, and frankly am surprised and pleased at the fascinating results it's gotten so far!

Re: How much for royal blood?
A relic believed to be stained by blood from King Louis XVI (dna analysis later disproved it) was bought for ~5k and re-auctioned for ~18k€ in 2013 in France.
Assuming Popular devotion and Alchemy give a similar value to the royal blood properties, we have a data point. |

Re: How much for royal blood?
When I saw the title of this thread, I thought the answer was going to be 30+ points for Status 6+, or else an Unusual Background that covers whatever abilities having royal blood might grant you. :D

Re: How much for royal blood?
Royal 'Heir' Hair ? Free if you share chocolates with the then Zara Phillips , when your both having your hair done in same studio ;-) Her & my acquaintance Mistress Voiddancer were both being interviewed at ITV studios in 2004 . They swapped locks of hair clippings .
Pint of blood ? Possibly free if you state it's for an 'Art Display' for a Blood Donation charity & you ask Zara nicely . Had a blood bank display at Millennium Dome in 2000 , with 50ml bags donated by multiple celebrities . The late Princess Margaret on other hand ... err ... bottle of wine , few Martini's & promise of good party later on for a pint ? Possibility of it spontaneously combusting in presence of flames ... static ... or oxygen would be rather high though ... so risky proposition at the time ... *eeep* Sarah Ferguson ... well ... not technically 'Royal' ( descended from THREE of Charles II illegitimate children ) ... well I'd better not speculate , but not very much at all .

Every +1 to Status (once you reach Status 4) is +6 steps on the SSR table to worth (Status 9 is $50M, Status 10 is $500M, etc). *SSR refers to the Size and Speed/Range Table (B550) **LTC3 assumes 8 hours per workday and 25 workdays per month, for a total of 200 work hours per month. 0.625% of 200 is 1.25.

Re: How much for royal blood?
Thanks. I actually own GURPS Thaumatology: Ritual Path Magic, but for some reason never thought of the magical form as RPM. I think of RPM as revolutions per minute.
