I like to stay up late, thinking of nasty things to do with malkavian dementia, and I came up with a hypothetical that I am not sure on.. If I dement a Malkavian with Fame, (and I am the predator of the meth. who owns that malkavian) and it goes into torpor, who takes the 3 point hit? My prey, or his?? -- Necr...@crl.com _____ "Hurry it up, you Hoosier bastards, Associate professor /. .\ I haven't got all day" of Glaciation, U of \ ^ / -Carl Panzram Ediacara. DoD#1437 """

If the DMF goes to torpor before the MD wears off, then the temporary controller's Prey (the Prey of the Meth who played MD) loses three pool. The Prey of a minion is the prey of the controlling Methuselah. Malk Dementia says "You control" - meaning you are the controller. -- L.

Thus, your >prey would lose 3 pool, and the Malkavian who played the Fame would get >little or no benefit from it. How do you figure? The demented Malkavian with Fame (DMF) goes to torpor. The prey of the DMF's Methusalah loses 3 pool. _That_ is the condition at the time of the action. If this ousts the DMF's prey, the DMF's Methusalah gets 6 pool and the prey's ante. One of the purposes of Fame is to protect the vampire with it; that is, the other Methusalahs have to watch their step around a Famous vampire because of the risk to the Masquerade. We all remember the stink when Keith Richards was almost exposed in the late '70s...
