Torpor works in the reverse of age category. Torpor can put a vampire below blood blood potency minimums for their generation at the rate of 1,000 years per point of blood potency. Vampires below 13nth generation can go no lower lower than blood potency one. 13nth generation vampires and younger fall to their starting point.

Diablerie (which otherwise is as explained in VtR) lowers the diablerist’s generation at the following rate. The vampire’s blood potency goes up by one, if the consumed vampire had a blood potency higher than the diablerits, or to the minimum for the new generation. The diablerist diablerist can have problems. The consumed vampire rolls rolls Presence+Blood Potency opposed by the diablerist’s diablerist’s Resolve+Blood Potency. Potency. If the consumed vampire gains more successes than the diablerist, then the diablerist gains a form of Sanguinary Animism involving the victim that has a chance of manifesting each time the vampire awakens. If the victim gets five five or more successes than than the diablerist and the diablerist gets no successes, then the victim is essentially in control of the attacker, but suffers Sanguinary Animism from the attacker with the same stipulations. # of Generations raised by diablerie, only app lies if the victim is of lower generation than the attacker. Difference between 1 and 3: 1 Difference between 4 and 6: 2 Difference between 7 and 9: 3 Difference between 10 and 12 (ridiculously, theoretically possible): 4.
