Predator types
Bagger (Vampire: The Masquerade 5th Edition)
The Bagger is a practical predator who feeds on bagged blood and medical waste, avoiding direct contact with mortals entirely. Baggers are often medical professionals, hospital workers, or vampires who maintain connections to medical facilities. This predator type is perfect for characters who want to avoid the risks and complications of direct feeding. Baggers gain bonuses to Medicine and Fortitude, making them resilient and knowledgeable about blood. However, this feeding style requires maintaining access to medical facilities and can be expensive or difficult to sustain.
