Feeding and You!

Post by Xolotl »

Until after the opening scene on June 12, there's no need to do feeding actions, but to prepare people for afterwards:
  • You may take one feeding action per week, this is in addition to your normal two actions per week
  • To summarize, Base 1 actions can be completed in one feeding action, Base 3 actions require an action to prepare and then an action to execute (total of 2 feeding actions), and Base 5 actions require 3 actions to prepare and one to execute (total of 4 actions). These actions need not be consecutive, but you cannot attempt the actual feeding until the appropriate number of feeding actions have been taken.
  • The full rules for feeding can be found on our House Rules page
  • Please use this template for feeding actions (feel free to change the colors)
  • You may use Family Dinner in lieu of a rolled action, just describe the feeding and apply the appropriate modifiers

Can we use normal actions to...well maybe not speed up but have more than one feeding action with different targets?

I'm seeing that the moment that you get up to Lair 4 you might as well write off reaching base potential 5, because you can't afford to spend a full month without feeding when you lose satiety every 3 days, doing the math, it just doesn't work, by the time you reach the fourth week you are already at 0 satiety if you started at 9.

You're more than welcome to use other actions to top off, Base 1 potentials don't take any prep work and you can up the final potential using the modifiers listed in the book. Base 3 will always take a chapter (week) to set up and Base 5 will always take 3 weeks to set up (being more lenient on this one to allow it once a month). The more rapidly decaying Satiety is the drawback to upping your Lair, you gotta find a way to balance it with your character's normal activities.

Also, as a reminder, to feed you must get the final potential equal or higher than your current Satiety, so the less hungry you are the harder it is to feed!

Cool that's a relief and gives us more options, thank you.

Edit: Forgot to ask, how would Family Dinner factor while raising satiety?

The freebie period for Feeding is now over! This means Satiety will drop if you have not done any feeding by 6/22/21! Don't forget, you must up the Satiety potential to match or exceed your current Satiety, though you can use Family Dinner for smaller snacks (these don't have to occur in ST scenes if you rp with another monster feeding, feel free to use it). You can also use your feeding action to simulate Family Dinner with your NPC kin as well.

Please refer to this template for your threads.

Family Dinner just requires fluff and then you auto-add based on the factors that apply. So if you're building up to a bigger meal, Family Dinner is a great way to stave off Satiety loss. You can use one of your normal actions to use Family Dinner, or it can be your Feeding action. Some Beasts are using this rather than building up Base Potential, either is fine! Also, if you do this ICly, it doesn't require an action at all, so poke your supernatural friends to feed more IC >_>
