"I love this plan! I'm excited to be a part of it! Let's do it!"

  • Rest (no combat or Horror use), but this can't raise it above starting level
    • Projectors, while not projecting: One per hour
    • Projectors, while projecting: Skimmers must spend 1 Vitality per hour or take 1 unsoakable bashing
    • Ghosts: One per eight hours
  • Someone else gives you some (this attracts Spectres)
  • Spend 1 Willpower to gain 3 Vitality
  • Tap Spite points: gain 1 Vitality per point tapped; roll (points tapped) vs 7, each failed die (2-6) = gain 1 point, each botched die (1) = gain 2 points
