[QUOTE="Tonguez, post: 258066, member: 1125"] Okay I did some maths (and made lots of assumptions) Okay small village of 200 people average con 10 Assuming a Vampire needs to feed [i]once/week[/i] and does not drain a person entirely in one go but only requires [i]3 con worth of blood each time[/i] then a Vamp could survive on 1 victim per month (roughly) - thats [i]12 per year[/i] which means a Vamp in a town of 200 has [i]16 years[/i] of food available (which we will make 10 due to death by other causes, age, babies etc) So A Vamp feeding of one village of 200 can survive for 10 years Now most successful Vampires are Lords other their domain (Dracula was Lord of Transylvania) so we can assume more than one village - say 5 villages of 200 - 1000 people or 50 years worth of food. 50 years is about 3 generations for humans (assuming woman have babies from age 15) ergo the Vampire has 3 generations of human cattle to feed upon without counting stray Travellers and victims from foreign raids. With the above assumptions the idea of Vampires 'milking' a village of permanent con is plausible, remember too that Vampires can sleep for a few years if they think that the Stock needs time to recover. During this time they can have other agents keep the stock under control or even make a deal with the local village to not molest them as long as they protect the Master! YMMV [/QUOTE]
