MnM Vampire template

First Post
I'm going to post one (thinking of dropping a Buffy one-off on the players) but I was wondering whether any Green Ronin folk had any definite versions they'd be using. Vamps are mentioned in the SPECTACULAR "Freedom City" expansion but none are statted.?

Vampire: PL 10; Init +6 (+2 Dex, +4 Improved Initiative); Defense 16 (+4 base, +2 Dex); Spd 30 ft.

Here are the GR guidelines for converting MnM critters.

"In my experience, the creatures from the Monster Manual are fairly easy to use in Mutants & Masterminds with just a couple slight modifications. Basically:

1) Take any ability scores the creature has over 20, divide the extra amount by two, round down and make that the creature's rank in the appropriate super-ability.

2) Give the creature a Damage saving throw bonus equal to its base Con bonus plus any natural armor bonus that it has. Subtract the natural armor bonus from its AC to calculate its new Defense. (This usually results in most monsters being easier to hit, but more difficult to hurt.)

3) Divide the creature's maximum damage by 6 (round down) and make that its damage bonus, if it exceeds the creature's base Strength bonus, otherwise just use the Str bonus.

4) Convert any spell-like or supernatural abilities the creature may have into ranks in the appropriate super-powers.

That's pretty much it. Keep in mind that this system isn't 100% exact (no conversion system is, IMHO), but it's a good ballpark. Tweak the stats as needed to get the feel of the monster right."
