A little guidebook of Sabbat / Kindred Lore that floats around in game from time to time.

#1 You must consume every last drop and draw the soul of the victim into your body.

#2 Do not be on the path of Humanity – If you follow the Path of Humanity you will permanently loose 1d10+1 points of humanity. If that put you in the negatives? Well ummmm.

If you follow a Path of Enlightenment you will check the List of Sins – maybe make some die rolls and or spend some Willpower Points.

#3 You will gain some Infamy and Camarilla Hatred. If you already got that? You just got more of it. Citizens of the World of Darkness Will Know. Diablerie and Secrecy do not go together. DO NOT EVER THINK YOU CAN JUST HIDE THIS AWAY. Note once may lead to a second. A second may lead to a third. 3X’s you are a confirmed addict! See you at group!

#4 So you just took a foreign soul into your body. It may be getting a little crowded in there? It is generally assumed the act of Diablerie knocked the soul of the consumed out of action from 1 to 1000 years. At some point it will wake up and want to fight.
