I was going through the new vampire book and have a question I hope someone
can answer.
It states that a vampire will go into torpor when his blood potency gets so
high that he can no longer feed effectively. I understand that very high
blood potency means you can only feed on other vamps, but is there more to
it than that? Can a blood-potency 10 elder keep going so long as he has a
supply of vampire blood to snack on? And on a related note, what would happen
if a vampire stayed awake long enough to go to blood-potency 11?
The logical solution (at least to me) is that at blood-potency 11, even
vampire blood is no longer sufficient and you simply starve until you go into
torpor. Or you could have some real fun and say lupine blood is still strong
enough to sustain such a creature. I like the idea of a potency 11 vampire
desperately hunting down werewolves to stave off starvation. Heck, just the
_rumor_ of such a thing could provide a few good plot hooks.

Puritanism didn't keep the puritans from sinning, it just kept
them from enjoying it.
