Aden: I want to burn up every blood point in my body and just torch the entire room.
Aden: Can I do that?
Dpayne: How much blood do you have left?
Aden: Eight points.
Dpayne: Hold on I'm thinking about this.
Dpayne: I'll let you do it, but it'll take multiple rounds of preparation requiring an extended willpower role difficulty 9 needing 5 successes in addition after succeeding you will automatically enter torpor.
Aden: From injury or blood loss?
Aden: That is, can I be revived?
Dpayne: Blood loss, but you will take injuries after entiering torpor, more than likely everyone in the room will meet final death with the possible exception of Sinclair.
Aden: Hahaha.
Aden: HMMM...
Aden: Well, I can't do that.
Dpayne: A botch will result in spontaneous combustion and a loss of half your blood points.
Aden: What about a triple action of three campfires, one launched from each hand and then one sent telepathically, to the new weak spot?
Aden: I mean, Derek, I want to burn up the place, but I want to give the others a chance to escape.
Dpayne: Okay that is a little tricky, but you can do it, however blood point costs are doubled, and you need to roll accuracy for each flame, difficulty 7.
Aden: IDEALLY, Aden would try to kill himself in the fire, but he'd just wake up some time later, burnt up but not dead.
Aden: That's what I really want here.
Aden: But I understand if you can't just make that happen.
Dpayne: Keep in mind Aden's interest in Dominic so I don'tnecessarily think suicide is an option for the character at least not yet.
Aden: I thought she said Dominic was dead?
Dpayne: She said she dealth with dominic, you guys need to stop jumping to conclusions.
Aden: So you're saying it would cost six blood points?
Dpayne: Yes
Dpayne: At least my house rule.
Aden: Then...
Aden: Shouldn't it be two blood points, not six?
Aden: Otherwise, you're saying one flame is one, two is six, three is nine.
Dpayne: Wouldn't it be 4? 2 for each flame?
Dpayne: And then with 3, 3 for each flame.
Dpayne: Sorry I was doing retard math earlier when I said 6.
Aden: OK, so it goes one, four, nine, sixteen.
Dpayne: Yeah I think that's reasonable.
Aden: Why wouldn't it just be one, two, three and so on?
Aden: Oh well, I'll just send a bonfire at the weak spot.
Aden: Never mind!
Dpayne: Well I'm going to say the act of splitting your flame and controlling multiple flames requires a good deal more of you, and I think that's fair considering the rules don't allow for multiple fires anyway.
Aden: Well, I would think it's just multi-action penalty like usual.
Dpayne: Hard to have a multi action penalty when an ability the majority of the time doesn't require a roll. Additionally, creating multiple flames allows you to bypass the levels of the discipline and create massive fires with little knowledge, again I think it's reasonable.
