Since I never found a thing related to generation, I always looked at Blood Buff as a generation of some sort, or a Blood Potency: the more dots the higher I can raise my attributes - the lower generation in PnP, the more blood in one turn I can spend (the more I can enhance my attributes).
Could Blood Pool be made discipline - related? Start with 11, get a dot in BBuff to raise the limit to 12...? How much do you use BBuff anyway?
