Default Leech advantage as a follow up attack to an innate attack

I am looking for a way to make Leech work with out the sustained maeuver part.

What I'm wanting to do is make an attack, something like a regular missile spell that you overcharge or what have you. Then if the attack penetrated dr and did actual injury then the leech advantage would trigger to heal you for 1/3rd the injury received.

As far as I know, it would take something along the lines of triggered, blood agent, follow up, the innate attack itself, and some other odds and ends that I'm not familiar with.

I suppose I could also require a skil roll to activate the leech to see if it successfully heals or not.

Help would be greatly appreciated.

As I said in your previous thread, adapting Vampiric Strike into Vampiric Bolt is the simplest method, and is based on injury caused by the "carrier" attack.

I apologize, I didn't see where you had offered that.

Could you elaborate on where they are at in the books? I don't remember seeing either of them in my skimming.

Vampiric Strike is in Power-Ups 1: Imbuements. Cloning the effects and calling it Vampiric Bolt to apply to ranged attacks really isn't going to cause any problems.

I appreciate it my friend, I apologize I skimmed through and I read what imbuements were incorrectly.

That does solve my problem perfectly.

I have but one more idol idea left to toy with. If you may be able to help me since you know waaaaay more about this than I do.

I'm thinking about how to make an attack do a "reliable" for the next attack hit.

Like for example how it says you can take a -5 to your skill to heal in a 1 to 2 instead of a 1 to 3, or a -10 to heal in a 1 to 1 etc.

Would it be possible make an attack where it applies a stack of reliable for that specific modifier to eat the negative off? But only once?

Like attack A is the vampiric bolt, attack B just does damage at the cost of HP to cast, and gives maybe a reliable 2 for eating penalties off of attack As modifier on the next turn?

Then next time attack A is made, it would make the penalty for a 1 to 2 a -3, or a 1 to 1 a -8?

And if you could go a step further, and say that it was stackable up to 3 times in a row. So attack B would give a +2 to eat off the negative, then an additional attack B would give another +2, and then an additional attack B would give a final +2. Effectively making attack a get a +6 reliable to the modifier?

Did any of that make any sense?
