Strigoi

Strigoi are akin to what Vampires were in primordial times: large monstrous predators. They should however never be thought of as primitive. Strigoi tend to be very sophisticated and cunning creatures despite their appearance, and think of themselves as the true lords of the night. They shun modern society and like to occupy dark, dingy places where they can brood and scheme away from prying eyes. That is, until the sun goes down and they can hunt in the open once more. 

Extra Costume Requirements 

Strigoi are required to have a mask covering at least 50% of the face, with elongated ears and fangs. 

They also tend to wear traditional clothing made of fur, leather etc. 

Free Skills 

Ambidexterity, Armour (Very Light), Claws, Stamina, Stealth, Surprise Attack and Weapon Use: One Handed Melee. 

Extra Special Rules 

Monstrous Lords - Strigoi are singularly monstrous beings, their primeval appearance striking fear in even their Vampire brethren. Once every hour, a Strigoi may use the effect ‘Innate Mass Fear’ and may strike for the fear effect once every ten minutes. 

Ghoulification - The myth of Vampire bites turning humans is as old as the race itself. Vampire scholars believe it began with unique trait of the Strigoi, called ‘Ghoulification’ which gave rise to this myth. A Strigoi’s DNA is more ancient and misunderstood than other Vampires’ and is able to bestow a very small portion of its power onto another creature. This effect does not last long, and whilst it does, the Strigoi are able to influence the drinker to a much greater degree. When using ‘Strengthen by Blood’, a Strigoi may turn a willing victim into a Ghoul. The Victim gains +1 Stamina and +1 Natural Armour for one hour, when the effect wares off. They must also obey all the Strigoi’s commands (within reason) to the best of their ability.
