Right I was basically taking that technically that human blood is kosher, and ignoring the intent (because, I'm playing a vampire).
Well technically it's not reminding you of animal blood!
We didn't actually consider the animal blood thing, thanks! That's definitely nonkosher, and might come up since I'm trying to be niceish to humans for now.
At one point the GM argued that only humans who ate kosher (and possibly avoided dairy) would be kosher themselves, so I would need to feed off other Jews to be safe. I successfully argued against that, though... The rule seems intended for animals I raise myself, not "wild" ones. More importantly, preying exclusively on Jews would be strongly against the 10 commandments (I'd be stealing from and possibly murdering other Jews, big no-no).
That would be interesting. I imagine it would get old though, having to inquire as to their full past diet and such. Following the 10 commandments and such as stringently as possible poses a unique obstacle, like how do you get a regular source of blood? Offer services with blood as payment?
Lol at wild humans, soylent milkshake is free range
Though now I'm beginning to cultivate an unsuspecting herd in our condo building, and will be subtly manipulating them to be kosher as possible. We are effected by intoxicants in blood, so I think taking this initiative shows the greatest respect for Jewish law (through the lens of being, you know, a fricken vampire).
Makes sense, given that a kosher animal can become non-kosher if it's diseased or something. Ha, condo herd bants. Quality setting right there.
Also one of our party members is a fishmalk who is sometimes possessed by a millenia-old personality named Lilith... Yeah...
She claims that the Abrahamic origin story is nonsense but what the hell does she know, she's crazy. Or at best an evil temptress... Definitely crazy though. (In this setting, New World of Darkness, she's probably right. Cain and all are no longer canon. Only Baba Yaga survived the reboot, heehee)
If it seems weird that a vampire would care about any of this, it's because he's trying desperately to hold on to his humanity. He's been complicit in a lot of savage shit already, and observing his faith (particularly inconveniently) seems like a natural way to retain self-control.
Yeah that makes sense, the route VtM: Bloodlines took too. Vampirism at its worst has sorta been diluted down to:
- You become basically immortal
- Forever young
- Super seksy
- Attain superpowers
With the only downside being ur well emo m9, which is not really a downside at all if you have a positive outlook on unlife. If you're fighting against yourself becoming something you don't want to be (becoming inhuman), fighting against the attractiveness of the curse or the base onnomnom hunger to retain your humanity - then it's grimdark for everyone, a hidden battle between superpowered victims and still-human victims. On a 2deep4u level as well, the penalty for a few of the biblical offenses is being cut off from the community. Fitting backstory for vampire curses!
