Powers

• Drink Blood: A vampire may drink the blood of any being with an INT of 5 or more and a POW of 5 or more. Vampires do not drink from non-sentients. This takes hit points from their victim and transfers them immediately to the vampire. Again, hit points cannot be increased beyond the normal maximum for the vampire.
• Magic Point Drain: A victim hit by a vampire's touch must match their POW against the magic points of the vampire, whether the touch penetrated armor or not. If the vampire wins the contest, the victim gives 1D4 magic points to the vampire.
• Turn to Bat or Wolf: Can transform into a bat or wolf at a whim.
• Turn to Smoke: Once any hit location has been reduced to 0 or fewer hit points, the vampire will turn into smoke at the end of that melee round and regain its hit points at a rate of 1 per melee round. If the vampire takes damage to exceed its hit points, although all hit locations are intact, it will again turn into smoke. It can do so at whim.
• Weaknesses: Vampires have several weaknesses. Vivamort was a renegade from Death, and many of his followers are renegades from various Death cults. Vampires are greatly affected by the determined presentation of the Death Rune by one consecrated (initiate or higher) to a Death cult. The Rune causes damage on touch and acts as a focus for a highly effective Disruption spell. Forceful display of the Rune gains the individual a measure of personal protection from vampires and a method of attack also. Vampires will usually not directly attack the presenter, but may order initiates, or available skeletons, zombies, etc., to do so.
