FAQ 4/18/95:
Diablerie: You can fill up your current blood capacity with
diablerie, but not the extra point you get from the new skill.

basically you get all the blood on the vampire, and then a skill card.
that means that the diabin' vamp is not at full capacity now, but at one
less. the blood you gain does not fill the skill card.

When you diablerize a vampire, you:
a) get all the blood that may have been on him/her
b) gain a discipline (& therefore extra blood capacity)
Which happens first? If b) does, then you can use the blood that is about
to come from a), can't you? If a) does, then you have a vampire that could
hold more blood even though he just sucked someone dry... Doesn't make
sense to me. You could argue either way, I suppose: the victim loses all
blood first, then his life force which grants the discipline; or, the
diabolist has the blood in his/her stomach and gains the discipline,
allowing him to use more of the excess blood, so that he/she has to
vomit up less of it. (Hey, I play Vampire: the Masquerade. I know these
things.)
Do we have an official ruling? (and please forgive my rantings if this has
already been asnwered or is in the FAQ. I DO have the FAQ, I just haven't
had a chance to look at it yet. I think I'll go do that now...)

Your vampire gets any blood on the one that was diablerized, any excess
blood drains off, and then your vampires gets a skill card if any.
