Wraith feeding on them selves?

[Major_Griff]

In The Defiant One we learned that Wraith can feed on each other. So could A wraith then feed on him self? Could he feed then regenerate from that then feed again? I think that would interesting to find out. What do you guys think?

[The Prophet]

Wouldn't that be akin to having a Current that just involves a Battery?

The Wraith would have Energy. 100Hp lets say.

He uses up 10Hp by Feeding on Hosts.

He Feeds upon himself. -10Hp for Power. -10Hp Lost from being fed upon.

He gains +10Hp from feeding.

In Total he has Lost 10Hp.

He does this 10 more times. Dead.

^Basic Principle, It wouldn't work, he wouldn't be a source of Nutrience for Himslef. By doing so, he would burn himself out faster (compared to Not eating)

Do a little experiment for me:

A) Gain the ability to regenerate.
B) Cut off your finger.
C) Eat it.
D) Does it grow back?
E) Repeat A-D until it doesn't grow back.
F) Question answered?

This was mostly meant to be a joke, but it does illustrate a point:

Unless your digestive system is 100% efficient, you'll lose something each time. If your digestive system is more than 100% efficient (totally impossible) you'll gain energy each time.

It's a law of physics really. You can't get more out of something than you put in. The health points (hp) is a great explanation.

I was thinking that was Horse Power... but I could be wrong.

Tis Health Points.

Thanks ablevins425, it seemed like the general process....

[Syera]

Actually, the first thing I thought of was hit points... but I figured nobody else here'd be quite geeky enough for that.

I thought of hit points too.

I think some people actually do say hit points.

[Syera]

RPG gamers, yes...

*Has played quite a few RPGs*

[ascendedancient42]

Aren't alot of us RPG players?

Come on, alot of us are geeks. Geeks play RPG's, right?

It seemed like obvious logic to me...

I'm a geek. At least I've been told that I am.

But I never played a RPG. *bows head in shame*

You don't have to hang your head in shame. I'm sure there are lots of RPG groups that would love to have another member.
