Atleast 25% ofthe human's blood must be replaced with vampiic blood for the disease to take hold. The vampiic blood transforms the remaining normal blood into vampiric blood by approximately 1% per 10 years thereafter. The disease changes the body physically, and the side effets affect the mind, emotions and psyche of the indi vidual. These effects and sde effects are gradual, occuring atarate consistent wth the change inblood. Vampirc blood is extremely volatile. ‘A character who receives less than 25% but mare than 10% of vampiric blood must make a BOD check every hour after being injected, Every check tat fas rases the percent age fvampirc bood by 1%, and every check that succeeds, reduces the percentage by 1%.
