I was talking with a younger player today, who was asking questions about bloodworms. While I know the all the basics, but I found I wasn't able to answer questions about their requirements. I (obviously) don't play with them as much as I should.

Anyone able to help me out and list the different skill levels (min/max) needed for each?

Taking stock of its offensive abilities, and defending with no weapon, you estimate that the black horse is something that'd kill you quickly.

Absolute minimum of roughly 40 ranks FA, but that might be strictly for empaths. Add another 10 ranks for non-empaths if you notice a discrepency.

Also, for more details visit the Blood Critters/Healing Systems folders. In one of them is a Blood Critters tending list (probably by Xochi's player, if I recall.)

J'Lo, no that other one

Thanks, J'Lo.

There's not much in the Healing Systems folders (Empath or DR2 discussions), but I did find some stuff from Kythryn in the Critters folders (post 400):



Not really 100% on the ranks, but the difficulty order should be right:

-red sand leech - Muspar'i - 50 lessons FA
-green blood worm - croc marsh - 75
-albino forest leech - Throne City boars - 125
-black sand leech - Muspar'i - 200+ (when you get them on your back, unless you have someone with you, they are haaaaard to get off)




Notes from other players indicate that the suckers in crocodiles can be handled with as little as 50 FA (which sounds about right). Also, albino leeches in the eyes require pushing around 300 FA. Anybody have thoughts on the other numbers?

IIRC, you want to have an empath with you anyway when you go into the Muspar'i pits unless you like disease.

It's mind over matter. I don't mind, because you don't matter.

Every blood critter does this. Be wary of the southern/western section of the sand pits, though, that's where the blacks supposedly live and one on even an easy part can really ruin your day if you can't handle it or don't have an empath to keep healing you until it falls off (assuming the empath can't remove it). I spent a few days in there myself, but I never got a single blood critter on me in all that time.
