So I've tried to go heavy on drawbacks but hold back on abilities.I think the issue of fatigue was something I was forgetting.  My initial thought is that half-vampyres are immune to fatigue-effects resulting from hunger or thirst (they suffer Constitution damage instead from want of blood.)  And I think that when they use their Blood Strength ability, they should ignore penalties from fatigue or exhaustion for the duration.Another good point.I've been busy as of late, but as soon as I have soon free time, I'll edit the template per your suggestions.</blockquote>
