My "Revamped" take on d20 Modern Vampires

[Colonelpuddinhead]

Under the "fiendish defects" section, perhaps you could have a set number of flaws that all vamps have, and then have a part where you list several more defect/flaws but have the player/GM select only 3 or 4 of these (or whatever...).

The reason I say this - I played LARP Vampire for a number of years and have experienced how different each and every vampire can be. If you are running a Blade style campaign, then being able to track a guy with "taint of corruption" (the defect mentioned earlier where small plants and animals within a certain radius of the vampire slowly start to wither and die) might be one way of distinguishing him from the rest. However, a guy with "no reflection" might be harder to get to (unless he/she's standing right in front of a mirror).

just a thought.

Yep, I agree with you totally. The re-work I have actually does allow for that. The bae vamp just has the usual..UV Light/Sunlight vulnerabliity, stake to the heart, etc etc. All of the other classic, modern, and otherwise weakness are chosen through progression...allowing you to customize the vamp even more. I've been re-researching vampire mythology from a number of sources in an attempt to create as many chosen powers and weakness in as I can.

FYI for Everyone...I just started my new job this past monday so I'm struggling to adjust from 3 to Midnight to a 10 to 7 shift...I should be able to get back to this very shortly.
