VAMPIRISM (Traditional Hammer Horror type, Blade and buffyesque) Cost: 14
Action: None
Range: Personal
Duration: Permanent
Those inflicted with Vampirism, which is a form of blood disease effectively die, but continue to exist as undead beings, ageless and driven by the need for plasma (blood) in order to stave off the Hunger they feel. Those inflicted with Vampirism are capable of many amazing abilities. Super Strength (p. 86) and Super Constitution (p. 85) have all aspects of those attributes raised for each rank in Vampirism. In addition the Vampires form is extremely resilient Amazing save Damage (p. 61). The Vampires have extended canines with which they bite into the necks of their victims and drain their blood as per Drain Con (p. 66) anyone reduced to zero Constitution must make a Fortitude save (DC10+ Vampirism power rank) or be turned into a vampire themselves gaining the power at +1 rank (the character loses points from other areas to make up for the cost of this power, points come off Skills, powers and then statistics in that order. This represents that knowledge lost in death and the transformation). All Vampires heal amazingly quickly even back from death, re-growing limbs and so forth as per Regeneration (p. 80) however they cannot regenerate any damage inflicted by Blessed or Holy items, which leads us to the Vampires Weaknesses. A Vampire who does not feed once per day must make a Will save (DC20) each and every hour there after until he does feed (DC increases +1 per additional hour) or he goes Berserk (p. 106), additionally whenever the Vampire is exposed to the source of his hunger (almost always blood) they must also make a Will save (DC 20) or go Berserk then also. Vampires are also extremely susceptible to Natural Daylight and blessed/Holy things (p. 107). All vampires are also Vulnerable to a stake through the heart (or pretty much any wooden item through the heart), which can occur anytime the character is struck by a Critical hit with a wooden item, this is in fact the only way to truly slay a vampire and causes them to crumble to dust.
POWER STUNT·
· Darkvision: You are able to see in total darkness perfectly.
· Durability: Any lethal damage you receive with a damage bonus equal to or less than your damage save becomes stun damage instead.
· Immunity: You gain one Immunity per rank of Vampirism, though may never choose energy (especially light) Immunity nor does Immunity to Critical hits ever cover their vulnerability to staking.
· Identity Change: You do not always appear as a Vampire (pale skinned, unearthly, extended canines etc..) and may instead appear as a normal human version of your pre vampiric self. You are able to switch between forms as a Half Action. Not the vampire retains all abilities in the human looking form,, with the exception of its Draining bite. Also if the Identity change power stunt is chosen then the disturbing flaw cannot be taken.
· Leaping: The Unholy nature of a Vampire means the earth can repel them to such an extent that they can replicate the effects of the Leaping power (p. 74).
· Variable Attribute: The Vampires Draining bite may require another source than blood (Con), such as Brain fluid (Int), Spinal Fluid (Dex), Energy (powers) or so forth. Choose one alternate source for the draining attack to affect replacing Constitution.
EXTRAS
· Alternate Form: The Vampire may assume the form of a Gaseous mist or a Shadow as per the power Alternate form (p. 61) of one rank per rank of Vampirism. Whichever form the Vampire does not choose they may pick up for an additional extra.
· Clinging: The Vampire may climb or walk along vertical surfaces or ceilings as per Clinging (p. 63) for each rank of Vampirism.
· Hypnotic Gaze: The Vampire may make a target weary with their gaze as per Fatigue (p. 70) for each rank of Vampirism.
· Mind Control: The Vampire can control the minds of those nearby, imposing his will upon them, as per Mind Control (p. 76).
· Shapeshift: The Vampire can assume the form of Animals (typically bats and wolves, but others are possible) as per Shapeshift (p. 80). However the unnatural nature of the beast is always apparent.
· Super Speed: The Vampire may move with incredible speed as per super Speed (p. 85) for each rank of Vampirism.
· Telepathy: The Vampire may communicate Telepathically as per the power (p. 87) with anyone he has bitten or turned.
· Feed Frequency: The Vampire must feed on blood once per day, however with practice this frequency can be reduced. For an additional extra the Vampire need not feed more than 1 per week, and for an additional extra once per month, and finally once per year.
FLAWS
· Disturbing: Some Vampires (such as Nosferatu for example) appear disturbingly un-human and exude an unearthly presence, you may appear non human, you may have glowing eyes, you may have no reflection, whispering voices may be heard in your presence, whatever the cause you just feel wrong and people notice. The overall affect being a 5 penalty to Bluff and Diplomacy. Note if the Disturbing flaw is taken then the vampire cannot choose the Identity change power stunt.

DAYWALKER Cost: 13
Action: None
Range: Personal
Duration: Permanent
Those who are Daywalkers were naturally conceived beings given birth by a parent who is turned into a vampire late in the pregnancy, typically this results in an early birth as the dying host expels the living child, those who survive grow to become Daywalkers. As Vampirism is a form of blood disease the Daywalkers are enhanced, they gain many of the benefits of Vampires, but very few of the weaknesses. They still however feel driven by the need for plasma (blood) in order to stave off the Hunger they feel though not as fiercely as a full vampire. Those who are Daywalkers are capable of many amazing abilities. Super Strength (p. 86) and Super Constitution (p. 85) have all aspects of those attributes raised for each rank in Daywalker. In addition the Daywalkers form is extremely resilient Amazing save Damage (p. 61). The Daywalkers have slightly extended canines with which they bite into the necks of their victims and drain their blood as per Drain Con (p. 66) anyone reduced to zero Constitution dies due to sanguination. All Daywalkers part Vampiric nature allows them to heal amazingly quickly though unlike their sires not back from death nor re-growing limbs otherwise it is as per Regeneration (p. 80). A Daywalker who does not feed once per week must make a Will save (DC20) each and every hour there after until he does feed (DC increases +1 per additional hour) or he goes Berserk (p. 106), additionally whenever the Daywalker is exposed to the source of his hunger (almost always blood) they must also make a Will save (DC 20) or go Berserk then also.
POWER STUNT
· Darkvision: You are able to see in total darkness perfectly.
· Durability: Any lethal damage you receive with a damage bonus equal to or less than your damage save becomes stun damage instead.
EXTRAS
· Leaping: The Unnatural heritage of a Daywalker means the earth can still repel them to such an extent that they can replicate the effects of the Leaping power (p. 74).
· Serum: The Daywalker has access to a supply of Serum, which is made with garlic, blood and other more specialised ingredients, which works to stave off the hunger the Daywalker feels to feed. With this extra the Daywalker reduces the frequency with which he must feed and hence be likely to go Berserk to once per month instead of once per week. However the Daywalkers part vampiric blood builds up a tolerance to the serum reducing its effectiveness. As such consider the serum to work for a number of months equal to the rank 12-the rank in Daywalker until eventually the serum has no effect. (At such time the Daywalker no longer needs pay the Extra cost for the serum). The Serum extra may be purchased again after this time to reflect a newer more potent serum, but the Daywalker must then pay the increased cost of adding it to all Daywalker ranks.

LYCANTHROPY Cost: 14
Action: None
Range: Personal
Duration: Continuous
Lycanthropy is a disease, which causes the target to succumb to their animalistic nature, transforming into an Animal Hybrid of some type being mostly humanoid in shape but with the ability to turn into some animal form completely (most commonly wolf, though panthers, bears, rats and so forth are also possible) as Shapeshift (p. 80) though may only assume the single animal form with all its movement capabilities. The baser instinct of the beast within tends to take control of the hero completely releasing its primal rage in a berserk fury. The Lycanthrope is extremely resilient Amazing Damage save (p. 61), and has sharp claws and teeth as per Natural Weapon (p. 77). All Lycanthropes heal incredibly fast also thanks to their Regenerative capabilities (p. 79) and are incredibly strong and health having all aspects of Strength and Constitution improved via Super Strength (p. 86) and Super Constitution (p. 85). As with all animals the Lycanthropes sense tend to be far more acute than a normal humans thanks to their Super Senses (p. 85). As Lycanthropy is a disease any bitten by the Lycanthrope must make a fortitude save (DC10 + Lycanthropy rank) failure meaning the target has contracted the disease, and with the next full moon they will gain Lycanthropy at +1 rank (the target loses the cost of it from their skills as the beast within causes them to forget knowledge learned, if not enough skill points are available then the cost comes from Powers then statistics). All Lycanthropes must also struggle with the beast within and anytime they are angered, struck, extremely excited, on a full moon, or in the presence of blood must make a Will save (DC20) or go berserk (p. 106) as the animal within takes over (effectively making the hero a GM character for the duration). All Lycanthropes have an extreme susceptibility to Silver (p. 107) as for some reason those inflicted with Lycanthropy become dangerously allergic to silver.
POWER STUNT
· Darkvision: You can see perfectly in total darkness
· Scent: The lycanthrope has extraordinarily heightened sense of smell.
· Immunity: The Lycanthrope may choose an immunity to Critical Hits, Disease, or Poison, whichever he does not choose he may take as additional power stunts.
· Ultra Hearing: The Lycanthrope has extremely capable hearing range beyond that of normal beings.
EXTRAS
· Super Dexterity: The Lycanthrope benefits as per Super Dexterity (p. 85) also.
· Identity Change: The Lycanthrope has the ability to resume its natural mortal form, while in this form the hero receives none of the benefits from the Lycanthropy power.
· Leaping: The Lycanthrope may leap as per the power of the same name (p. 74) at a rank equal to his lycanthrope powers.
FLAWS
· No Recollection: The hero has no memory of any activities taken when he changes shape, thus the wolf say has no memory of what the human does and vice versa. The lycanthrope still has to check for going berserk but the animal persona is literally like another person living in the heros body and they have separate lives.
