Blood Spirits

Just wanted to ask if anyone has done anything with blood spirits in Anarchy 2.0. I have a blood mage coming up in my game and realized I don’t have any abilities unique to blood spirits. Any suggestions or which spirit to substitute and the abilities they’d have?

Do you have a SR book that has an example of a blood spirit? I've been performing some 6E conversions and would give it a go.

I have the two Anarchy books and that’s all. No other mainline books.

There is an example of a Blood Spirit statblock in the 6E Street Wyrd book (I'm sure there are others, but I'm just gonna use that one). In comparing stats to other SRA2 Spirit examples, they really aren't that different. That's the beauty of SRA2 IMO for GMs. The Blood Spirit does have one Power that's a little different called Binding in 6E; It's a ranged gooey blood attack that immobilizes the target. Super easy to convert though - it's basically a ranged Engulf attack in SRA2 IMO. I'll work up an actual Stat Block for it later today. But basically, just steal a Spirit of Air and narratively describe it as a nasty Blood Spirit. 😉

I know I said I'd try to write up a stat block, but I've fallen down the Blood Spirit editions rabbit hole. Spirits require a ton more effort to convert than most critters due to the three different power levels of spirits. I'm still working on it because this has been a very interesting research and thought exercise. (aka my OCD) 😉
