•• Rasping Flesh
When this level of Phagia develops, the Noctuku’s flesh changes to a rasping, rough surface covered in microscopic ridges that allow him to ingest blood through any point on his body. Anyone who feels the flesh of the Noctuku will notice the unusual texture, but those who have never seen this power in use may assume that the flesh is a Deformity of the Nosferatu, failing to understand its true purpose.
Because of the great increase in available intake area for feeding, the Noctuku can now drain two points of Vitae from a victim in a single round, as long as the Noctuku maintains enough flesh-to-flesh contact (at least twice as much as the area of his open mouth).
Many Noctuku who develop this power choose to wear as little clothing as possible, maximizing the potential feeding surface of their bodies. Some eschew garments completely, while others prefer to wear cloaks or coats that are easy to tear away at appropriate moments. Those more concerned with maintaining a semblance of Humanity (whether for psychological or tactical reasons) are likely to remain fully dressed though, leaving just their forearms or feet bare for potential use in battle.

Dice Pool: This power involves no roll, and is considered “always on.” The character may turn it off if he wishes, but doing so requires a successful Resolve + Composure roll, which renders the power inaccessible for the duration of the scene. If the power is off, the character’s flesh returns to its ordinary state and feels no different from any other vampire’s.
