Vampire Feats

Alley Cat

Prerequisite: Potence 3, Street Smarts 3

Benefit: You can walk the city streets like you own them. Your connection to the blood of the city allows you detect the other inhabitants of the street before they see you. You gain a +2 bonus to Athletics, Stealth and Street Smarts while in an urban environment.

Atrocious

Prerequisite: Shadow 3

Benefit: Your Hunger is especially close to the surface, and it is ready to lash out at a moment's notice. You can choose to take a single action to induce a Frenzy with an objective you determine.

Beyond the Pale

Prerequisite: Potence 7, Resolve 7

Benefit: You know how you to push your undead body to the limits. You no longer fall into Topor after you fall to 0 Wounds and 0 Anima.

If you pass this Resolve check, you remain conscious.

Blood Brothers

Prerequisite: Potence 3, Valravn bloodline

Benefit: Your blood calls out to your brothers-in-arms. When you use the Aid Another action, increase the benefit you grant by +2. 

Bloodhound

Prerequisite: Investigate 7

Benefit: You can use Taste of Blood through scent instead of taste. When tracking a particular subject, you can do so by the smell of their blood.

Blood Medium

Prerequisite: Gnosis 5, Potence 5

Benefit: You see dead people--and not just vampires. You can sense when ghosts, spirits, and spectral undead are nearby. However, this only works on ghosts and spirits with some sort of connection to vampires, such as someone who was preyed upon a vampire, someone who lost loved ones to vampires, or someone what was a vampire. When a vampire with this feat uses Potence to Sense Living, they also sense the presence of any spirits in the area who fit this description, or psychic echoes of events involving vampires that happened nearby. 

Claws of the Damned

Benefit: Your natural attacks are enhanced through blood magic, making them especially deadly. Increase the damage dice of your natural weapons by one step.

Dead Zone

Prerequisite: Occult Lore 5, Potence 5, Shadow 5

Benefit: You can create a null-zone for sorcery around yourself, your Hunger to consume any magic targeting your character or any character Behind you. 

You can accept the Tempted condition to use your Shadow in place of any Defence skill against magic or supernatural abilities. You can also have the spell target the Defence you're substituting Shadow for in lieu of the defences of a target Behind you.

Dreaming Visions

Prerequisite: Potence 3

Benefit: With the blood of numerous victims flowing through your veins, you have developed a strange connection to humanity's collective unconsciousness. When you rest, you gain flashes of visions based on the lives of all those you have fed from. Once per night, when you encounter a new individual or scene, you can make a Potence roll against a base DC of 15. If you succeed, you remember the person or location from your visions, and you can ask a simple yes/no/maybe question of the GM regarding whatever triggered these memories. 

Dynastic Blood

Prerequisite: Strigoi bloodline

Benefit: You're a member of a prominent Strigoi bloodline. You gain this bloodline as an affiliation. Once per chapter, you can name-drop a senior member of the bloodline to add your bloodline's affiliation score to a single Charisma check. 

Hungering Strike

Prerequisite: Shadow 3, Unarmed Attacks 3

Benefit: You let your Hunger come close to the surface to give you an advantage on bringing your enemy to the ground quicky. You can take the Tempted condition to add your Spirit to your Unarmed Attack hit and damage rolls until the start of your next round.

Kiss of the Succubus

Prerequisite:  Shadow 3, Vetala bloodline

Benefit: You've learnt special surgical techniques that can accelerate a vampire's healing.

Primal Strength

Prerequisite: Potence 7, Shadow 7

Benefit: Your characters connection to your Hunger has transformed your fangs into vicious weapons. Whenever you hit with a bite attack, you automatically deal 1 point of Wound damage.

Return to Sender

Prerequisite: Potence 9, Resolve 9

Benefit: Mortal wounds don't even cause you to flinch. When you are struck with a melee weapon or an unarmed attack, you can spend 1 point of Anima to make an attack of opportunity against the target. You use the target's own attack roll against their armor, as you turn their own momentum against them.

Speaker for the Silent

Prerequisite: Potence 3, Shadow 3, Dynastic Bloodline, Strigoi blooline

Benefit: You can channel the minds of the elders of your clan who are resting in Topor, allowing them to speak through your body. For a number of rounds equal to your potence modifier, you can allow yourself to be willingly possessed by an elder member of your bloodline. While possessed, the elder has full control of your body, and can speak through you, but the elder has no access to your anima or memories. At any point during the possession, you can spend 1 anima to end the effect early.

This ability can be used once per chapter.

Unnatural Tastes

Unyielding

Prerequisite: Potence 5, Resolve 5

Benefit: You are not one to give into your Hunger so easily. You gain a +4 bonus to resist Frenzy.
