0. Transformation
1. Feeding
2. Thirst
3. Sun Damage
4. Magic
5. Benefits


===0=== Transformation ===0===

Find a single irradiated blood pack (the green glowing one) and drink it. You will get a transformation message and then you need to wait for two more. The last one means you've transformed.

===1=== Feeding ===1===

You now have to feed Blood in order to survive, this will not override your natural physiological needs in survival mode as this is a stand-alone need. You can feed of simple blood packs and irradiated blood packs. But you also can feed of sleeping victims using the Mister Sandman Perk. Once you become a Ghoul, this perk becomes your feeding ability. BE AWARE, this will kill the victim. As a Porphyric Ghoul the healing ability of blood packs is now significantly increased.

===2=== Thirst ===2===

You have 4 stages of thirst as a Porphyric Ghoul. All stages run on GAMEPLAY TIME so it's about how long you play, not how much time has passed in the game (which also means you can't get surprised when waking up thirsty form a long sleep). All stages, both transformation and thirst change each 7-10 minutes of realtime gameplay. Stages are as follows:

-1st is the initial stage, you have all benefits. Once you've feed you return to it.
-2nd stage has no negative effects. It indicates the need to feed.
-3rd stage takes away your benefits. It is your last warning.
-4th stage you die.


===3=== Sun Damage ===3===

The moment you become a Porphyric Ghoul you basically take Radiation damage during the day in an exterior and when you expose yourself to the sun's rays, in the shade you are perfectly safe, as long as you don't get close to any light source. So even in daylight you can be safe.

===4=== Magic ===4===

From the moment you become a Porphyric Ghoul you seem to be able to bend radiation to your will. You receive the following 4 spells the moment you become a Ghoul in a limited quantity, the moment you feed you gain more.

1 -Blood Bolt - An offensive spell dealing 100 energy damage.
2 -Cloak - You may turn yourself invisible for 20 seconds. For some reason it only activates in first person mode.
3 -Transfusion - You consume your radiation poisoning to heal you completely.
4 -Summon radiation Hound - You can summon a radiation hound. This is more of a distraction rather than an ally, the hound is not a friend to anyone and is completely aggressive. Whatever you do, don't be the closest person to where you pinpoint it's summoning.

===5=== Benefits ===5===

As a Porphyric Ghoul your Strength and Agility stats are increased, additionally your healing rate is increased to a great degree.
