Ghouls with Resilience

[Gabby]

So Resilience passively adds to Stamina, and a ghoul's blood pool is determined by their stamina.

So real simple question: Do dots in resilience add to a ghoul's blood pool?

[Rose Bailey]

No. Stamina enhancements from supernatural effects don't count towards total Vitae.

[Gabby]

Cool cool cool. Thanks!

[Unahim]

Are we talking about how much blood is in a ghoul, or how much vitae?

[nofather]

Resilience would affect health (determined by size+stamina+resilience), it wouldn't affect their ability to hold Vitae (determined by stamina).

[Orabilis]

2 questions, however:

Does it affect their running/swimming ability? (stamina+athletics rolls)
How does it look when they use Resilience to ignore grievous wounds? Their flesh is still torn, but doesn't bleed? How quickly does it heal afterwards?

[nofather]

Yes, it affects their running and swimming.
It looks how you want it to look, like you said their flesh could be torn but not bleed or it could bleed but just a lot slower.
Wounds heal normally for ghouls, what with them being humans and alive. They aren't likely to be able to absorb that much until they get a lot of dots in it, and they likely won't have the Vitae to consistently absorb damage. Still, with the nice 0-Vitae cost 1 dot skills, ghouls are in a good place.

[Orabilis]

Yes, but those "wounds" that were absorbed by Resilience aren't really health levels, so how quickly do they close up?
Also, am I understanding it correctly that ghouls can no longer use Vitae to heal their wounds like they used to?

No, it's on p 297, "Ghouls can heal much like a vampire"

It depends on how you want to describe it.
