A Few Things that Need Attention

[Darvin]

That... just seems plain weird. Sanguine is working very well currently in its capacity as a boon for Dracul, and I'd be against folding it into the BLUDTUPOWA glyph's effect and then changing it to do something completely bizarre.

I like the current B2P glyph, the problem is that it synergizes too well with BURNDAYRAZ specialists and with Binlor and Mystera piety farming. Ideally I'd like to see B2P changed in a way that is less substantial than its recent nerf, though I'm afraid that might not be feasible by the nature of B2P.

I didn't mean to remove the way sanguine is handled right now, that should stay exactly as it is.
The idea was to give bloodmage another ability instead of sanguine and leave sanguine as dracul exclusive, therefore "magical menstruation" could be the new class feature of the bloodmage, not a substitute for sanguine in general.
B2P in my draft was meant to be a way to use bloodpools without having sanguine on a character at all, giving the way you handle ressources a twist, but with more restrictions compared to tiles.
I see that it's kind of weird, but its technically not that different from the way it was before:
Take Damage / abstain from healing and get mana in return.

I find nothing odd in the concept of menstruation, magical, or mundane, however, I like the idea of mixing it up with sanguine. Erm, B2P not the other thing.

How about having B2P tie in with some sort of mana regenning sanguine. Tweak numbers. No menses. Costs health to cast. Breaks warlord. Hmmm. Doesn't cost anything? Hmmm. Passive glyph anyone?

That thing needs a cost. One which doesn't break Warlord.

How about 'cast spells from HP' like the alpha Vampire, albeit tweaked to be not broken. E.g., with BLUDTOPOWA active, spells cost of 1 HP * level per MP. (Only broken strat I can think of offhand: Wizard with Crystal Ball. Easy solution, aside from 'nerf Crystal Ball': You don't regain charges while BLUDTOPOWA is active since you're not using MP. Sorcerer also wouldn't recover HP since he's not spending MP.)

Edit: This wouldn't really fix the Mystera/Binlor piety issue, but it would make it easier to fix: make them (and GG) angry when you cast a spell from HP.
