How does Celerity work?
In Vampire: The Masquerade, a Celerity-using vampire spends one Blood Point per turn of use. One turn, one point – kinda like one man, one vote. One itty-bitty Blood Point, regardless of whether he’s got Celerity 1 or Celerity 7. The vampire may then take a number of extra actions up to the rating in Celerity. He may always choose to take fewer actions. So, you’ve got a vampire with Celerity 5 and a cheese grater. (Two great tastes that taste great together…) The vampire in question spends a Blood Point and kicks herself into overdrive. She may choose to scrape her cowering victim up to six times with the cheese grater, or she may choose to prolong the torture and scrape him only twice. No matter what, she spends one and only one BP for each turn of extra action(s). Yeah, those elders can get positively Tasmanian Devil-esque. Oh, and Celerity works only with physical actions. You can’t “rapid-fire” a power like Dominate or Presence. Okay, so far, so good, Hatch. Now…(derisive snort
