Commands for managing vampire blood mechanics including feeding,
Blood Surge, and Hunger tracking.

FEEDING:

feed <target> [<resonance>]
  Feed on a mortal to reduce Hunger.

feed/slake <target>
  Feed until Hunger reaches 0 (dangerous, multiple rolls).

Examples:
  feed mortal                    # Hunt a generic mortal
  feed mortal choleric           # Hunt for choleric resonance
  feed/slake victim              # Drain completely (risky)

Resonances:
  - choleric - Anger, passion, aggression
  - melancholic - Sadness, introspection, artists
  - phlegmatic - Calm, apathy, laziness
  - sanguine - Joy, pleasure, desire

Feeding requires a roll based on your Predator Type. On success:
  - Hunger is reduced (1-3 based on margin of success)
  - Your resonance is set to the victim's emotional state
  - Messy Criticals may draw attention or leave evidence

BLOOD SURGE:

bloodsurge <attribute or physical skill>
surge <attribute or physical skill>
  Surge your blood to enhance a trait temporarily.

Examples:
  bloodsurge strength            # Boost Strength
  surge brawl                    # Boost Brawl
  bloodsurge dexterity           # Boost Dexterity

Effects:
  - Adds dice equal to your Blood Potency

hunger
  View your current Hunger level and blood status.

HUNGER EFFECTS:

Hunger 0: Well-fed and sated
Hunger 1-2: Minor cravings
Hunger 3: Moderate hunger, need to feed soon
Hunger 4: Severe hunger, the Beast stirs
Hunger 5: RAVENOUS - Cannot use most discipline powers

At Hunger 5, your dice pool replaces ALL normal dice with Hunger
dice, making Bestial Failures much more likely.

HUNGER DICE MECHANICS:

When rolling, Hunger dice replace normal dice equal to your
Hunger level. Hunger dice can cause:

  - Messy Critical - Success with a Hunger 10 in a critical
    Your success is violent, obvious, or dramatic

    Your clan Compulsion activates, the Beast takes control
