Re: Bad Monkeys; Or how to jump-start the blood ga
It's worth noting that there are also some summons with a chance at a blood random.
Aside from national summons, I know that 1/4 in Lamia Queens and 1/4 Ether Lords have a blood random. Of course, those require death, which Patala and MA Mictlan do not get, except maybe on heroes. But Lamia Queens and Ether Warriors are both nice in and of themselves, so it's no loss to make a bunch of them.
Personally, I think bootstrapping into blood magic is a waste (of player time, not of actual wealth, which can be more or less negligible,) unless you have powerful national summons, including especially nationally summonable bloodhunters.
Once MA Mictlan or Patala can get the blood economy rolling, it can self-sustain eventually, and comes with some nasty, nasty stuff.
