Preferential Obsession

Mild or severe

Your character erroneously believes that blood of a certain quality is essential to his wellbeing. He might think that only the blood of virgins (or of successful executives, or of Latinos, or of children, or whatever else) is sufficient for his delicate system. Or perhaps he believes unsuitable blood will soak up his mystic energy and rob him of his vampiric powers. Folkloric wisdom among ancient Ventrue has led some to think they must sup from a series of athletic, intelligent and sexy vessels in a precise sequence, lest the delicate cocktail of Vitae within their undead bodies be thrown out of balance and their Aenead powers be diluted. (“No! It is the second Monday! I must have someone strong of leg or back! Keep her until the Sabbath, when I can drink of the wise.”)
Your character’s feeding restrictions must be defined when this derangement is taken, and cannot be changed unless the derangement is “cured” and then reacquired.

Symptoms

Mild Effect: Your character simply won’t satiate himself with improper Vitae. He will not take more than two Vitae from a vessel who does not meet his particular feeding restriction, even if hungry or starving, unless driven to frenzy.
Severe Effect: Your character’s delusions overpower even his Beast. He cannot satisfy himself from an improper vessel, even if hungry or starving, even in the throes of frenzy. If faced with the dilemma of consuming improper Vitae or suffering frenzy and torpor, your character drinks only if driven to frenzy, and even then he expends one Vitae per minute just to flush the unwelcome blood from his system. (Vitae spent in this way can be used to enhance Physical dice pools, simulate the blush of life, or simply be vomited up, but it cannot be used to activate Disciplines.)
