I'm currently having a look-see with this book... as kindly demonstrated by another metaphysical board online, there's still a lot of flak against psi-vamps, and with good reason. There are still a lot of vamps who randomly take energy from others without consent, but I just learned by reading the book that there are circles of psi-vamps that pick up stragglers, and try to instill them with ethics about how not to act like tards.

But, even after mentioning this, it all gets ignored in favor of frivolous horror stories. 9_9

Well, I'm not here to gripe about message boards... anyway, there's a good deal of ethics in the Codex, but some of what she says seems like bull. But there's a good guide for energy use, and I think she touches on alternate realities. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) But I haven't read that far yet... so who's read it, and what do you think?

One thing to consider is that the Codex, in part, deals with Michelle's specific beliefs regarding Kheprians. You can check out her site: House Kheperu. I'm going to hazard the guess that the parts you consider bull revolve around those beliefs.

I understand that she has particular religious beliefs in House Kheperu. That I'm indifferent to. What I consider bull are the statements that psi-vamps can ONLY be born that way. I've seen psi-vamps that trained to be that way, without being born into those abilities. Secondly, with soem side effects of draining. She's said that intense drains will cause dark red marks on the skin, or "devil's marks" or some such. I've seen and done worse, and nothing like this has ever happened. I've questioned many psi-vamps, and this has never happened. From my experience, and the experiences of others, the only way to cause physical wounding is by inflicting damage via physical energy. Draining doesn't cause such things to happen.

There are some others I disagreed with, but I'm too tired to go dig through my books right now. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
