can vampire eat anything else other than blood

[JOHNNY]

a pizza ?

No, they vomit that out.

But there's some exceptions, like, if you're a really crappy thin blood vampire that's barely a vampire, you can eat stuff, or extremely powerful vampire that did "something" (exactly what idk). Maybe the more lore versed people can answer you that. I just know about the thin blood stuff because that's in the game.

There's a trait on the books that makes it possible to eat "real food".

But it's like when you're drinking water when really hungry. It doesn't do anything.

You could use it for those really social Toreador or, maybe, Assamites under cover. If you get my drift.

Yeah, that would be handy if a vampire needs to pose as a human!

never seen a vampire eat normal food so the thought just came to me

Depends on the game system, but both in V5 and earlier versions you can use "blush of life", aka pump blood into strategic places to appear more human and hold food down for up to an hour.

What happens to the food after that hour passes though?
And what happens to the strategic areas?

seriously... either the effect exists long enough just so you can literally stomach it and then purge it later or that the food is magically dissolved... the purge concept sounds funnier to me...

but i really never understood why vampires couldnt just eat food and puke it up later without needing silly special abilities... i can get shot and stabbed but watch out for them ham sandwiches...

[Castyles]

^ Yeah, I agree. It's stupid.

[acornco]

^ i duno, stupid is a lil harsh. they made alot of rules that tried to emphasize the curse aspect of vampirism. like having to make a frenzy check if some one lights a cigarette in your vicinity... because ya know... wod vamps have a preternatural fear of fire.

so not being able to stomach food is more supernatural in nature than physical inability. a good tzimisc vamp could pull out his stomach and show it to you. XP

Food doesn't pass through vampires iirc. For all intents and purposes vampires no longer have intestines. Its all atrophied. So the food does get vomited back up eventually. But with blush of life you can pretend for a much longer while.

As for the forced vomit reaction without blush of life or low humanity.. Its supernatural. If I remember correctly it had something to do with the body repulsing everything that is not part of it (except blood). Also, the food tastes like ash in vampires mouth, so it might also be that.

Nagaraja can as they have to eat fresh raw meat (or fresh meat they preserve magically). I am not sure what happens if Nagaraja try to eat a pizza. For rest (unless there are other clans with similar ability as Nagaraja), they can eat it, or drink something, but will vomit it back up soon after. There was a bit about that in old VTM based Tv series Kindred The Embraced.

So with that, would sushi be allowed?

Probably fresh raw human meat.
Otherwise it wouldn't be much of a curse.

I mean you can walk around with 5 kilos of lead bullets in you. Not sure what damage chewed up slice of pizza can do to you. You will have to puke it out sooner or later and wont be sustained by it.
