Vitae Efficacy Unit

"Vitae Efficacy Units" or "VEUs" are units developed by the Tremere researcher Maxius and the Malkavian Douglas Netchurch in order to measure the efficiency of a vampire's vitae( the game mechanic of blood points). The research lead to the conclusion that Kindred of lower Generation have more VEUs to expend and that Thin-Blooded have to expend more VEUs in order to activate the "natural" abilities of a vampire.

There are five scales that are currently used:


 * The Starvation Scale, which measures the amount of blood the vampire need to substain himself before going into torpor.


 * The Ghoul Scale, which measures the potency of the blood in order to create ghouls.


 * The Wound Regeneration Scale, which measures the amount of blood a vampire need to heal injuries


 * The Might Scale, which measure the amount of blood a vampire need to increase his strength


 * The Disciplin Scale, which measures the amount of blood a vampire need in order to fuel his Disciplines.
