Territory Attributes

==Territory Rating==
The Territory Rating is a number that describes the “quality” of a territory. Not all territories are created equal. The “quality” of a territory for the terms of our game is related to how much power and respect that territory gives to its holder in vampire society. The territory rating is calculated for you and updated every month by the ST. For those interested, the formula looks like this:
(Feeding pool x 2 + Maximum Interactive Trait + Maximum Reactive Trait + Influence Sphere bonuses x 2) /5
Results are rounded down. The minimum rating is 1.
The territory rating cannot be changed directly. It is a reflection of the quality of the territory and can only be changed by changing the stats that contribute to the rating.
The territory rating is relevant in the gameplay because it generates status points. We start the game with 65 laurels. If you are ever wondering where this number comes from – it comes from the total sum of territory ratings of all the districts in West Berlin. What this means is that the total number of laurels in a city can change. In IC terms, there is less “respect” to go around for the courtiers of a small town compared to the courtiers of a bustling metropolis. Lower quality territories are like the small town – quiet, bland, with not much to offer. Higher quality territories are like the bustling metropolis – unique, teeming with mortals, with opportunities for expanding your influence.
The territory rating does not affect people on an individual basis. It does not modify your roll, nor does it affect how many status points an individual is allowed to have.
==Feeding Pool==
The feeding pool refreshes ever day according to their level.
Level 5 – 5 blood/day maximum 20 blood
Level 4 – 4 blood/day maximum 16 blood
Level 3 – 3 blood/day maximum 12 blood
Level 2 – 2 blood/day maximum 8 blood
Level 1 – 1 blood/day maximum 4 blood
Each dot of feeding pool roughly corresponds to 20,000 mortal population. The feeding pool rating cannot be actively changed barring some major grid-altering event. Characters are free to buy feeding pool merits, which represents actively maintaining another feeding pool on top of the base pool of the territory.
==Influence Rating==
The Influence Rating is a number that represents the ease of taking action on an Influence sphere within a certain territory. Think the city hall district, Schoeneberg. Politicians work there, city-wide legislations are passed there. You will simply have an easier time taking a Politics action if you're in Schoeneberg. Think the red-light district, Kreuzberg. It's full of punks and anarchists and underground raves. The people of Kreuzberg aren't fond of the Police going around asking questions, but they might be more open to a music promoter with a few dots in Counterculture.
