The unforunate thing about bloodworms is that they share a popular hunting area. I think they lowered gen rates when leeches were introduced so that hunters would return there. I am not sure how successful that was. If you want to get transference via bloodsucker, your best bet is Muspar'i, but many people find that to be far afield, nor very fun.

I find that swimming around prone seems to get more on me.

Also, not having GOL and REFRESH cast on me seems to attract more of them to.

How do they know? Just how do they know?

They're also attracted the the scent of booze, Illcram, which I think answers everything in your case ;)

I still think there should be two marshes: one without leeches and one with... just like there are two areas of the sandpit. Both should have crocodiles.

I'd like to see critters in the sandpit, too, by the way... Ugh, not slavers, though, please.

Thank you Illcram for posting your observation with GOL and refresh :) That furthers what I thought and what Kythryn and I have been pushing around...

I get more without GOL and refresh, too.... But through a lot of experimentation, I'm utterly convinced that the higher your stamina, the fewer you'll get.

Doesn't really make sense, though. It should be the other way around... the more your stamina, the more your vitality, the more appealing (meal wise) you should be to the bloodworms.

Would there be a GM who would have time look into that?

Thanks

My stamina
Stamina : 20


My husbands stamina (empath)
stamina :16

He gets 2 worms to my one in the same amount of time. I used Illcram`s method and I felt a lil silly on my back but it did work, only problem being with the difficulty in tending my eye versus other body parts..seems when you swim on your back you get worms attached to your eyes.

I was going to mention the hazards of swimming on your back, but then I thought, well what's the fun of that?

If it helps, I always picture swimming while prone as being on your tummy... although back would make more sense, because that's the only place they attach when I swim lying down, on the freaking back and then I have to wait to be able to tend them off, and it bothers me, because I want that instant gratification of zapping them off with my tinglie fingers and watching them splish back into the swamp to swim in a dazed circle and reattach itself to my neck which I should be able to tend, and can nine times out of ten, but then I fail because of bad luck and in comes a croc, looking to prey on the weak, injured, and RT-filled members of the adventuring species.

Of course, I also name my bloodworms and leeches... oh! And I even made a crocodile my familiar! I can't summon it or have it do tricks or expect it to listen to me or do more than attack me and then kill me because I'm overburdened and am not wearing armor or holding a sharp stick used for parry and my evasion leaves a lot to be desired and I forgot to put SOP up, and haven't learned Innocence yet. But I felt special. I think someone killed Fammy though, and didn't even give me the pelt to remember him by... sigh.

Greetings Amorrise.

>Doesn't really make sense, though. It should be the other way around... the more your stamina, the more your vitality, the more appealing (meal wise) you should be to the bloodworms.

Not necessarily...

Think about that: maybe part of having an higher Stamina is having a tougher skin (to resist wounds better)? If the latter is true, then bloodworms would have an harder time biting through your skin and sticking to you, thus ending up in you catching less bloodworms on you.

Basically both reasoning (yours and mine) are valid ones, it just seems that GM's preferred the way of more Stamina, less bloodworms to make Stamina more desirable since the usual adventurer tends to avoid bloodworms.

Just a thought though since I'm no GM...

Dorelan,

Hi :) I think that's a cool way to see it... Maybe Skra's and Pry's and others with thicker skin would have even more trouble with that? (Wonder why worms don't like the crocs?)

Hehe. Well, still, in a game sense, I would've likes to see more worms...they pose a greater risk due to the crocodiles...10 seconds being enough time for the critter to advance on you... and either more risk (critter wise) or less experience in leeches. All beside the point, though, I know, since things are already the way they are. So, I'm just being argumentative. Annoying habit of mine...

Thank you so much for your reply '=)

Amo
