Wild Talents question

[clockworkjoe]

Vampires have been associated with approximately 9 billion super powers - which powers/abilities do your vampires have? Strength, turn to mist/animal form, hypnosis, invulnerability, etc?

[Teapot]

Yeah, I think what I'm going to do is slap a "Vampire Problems: -2" onto each power and let that take care of the crosses, garlic, running water, invitation etc. I'll just give them a killing allergy to sunlight.

As for powers, I want to hand out a few hyperstats, turning to mist, blood based regeneration, mesmerism (with the obvious flaw) maybe a few others, I want to land them somewhere between effective and Hammer cliche.

(I'll put up the whole mess in a bit as it's being written out now.)

I would just add

If/Then (So long as you have drank blood that night) -1
If/Then (Only at night) -1

to all powers.

Also, add the appropriate allergies to sunlight, running water, garlic, etc.

That's more or less exactly what I came up with.
Here are the 75 point packages I came up with for the powers, most have some form of defense power, here they are:


Ninja Coke:
Body +2d
Coordination +3d
Sense +2d
(28)
Multiple actions 2d (4)
32
Athletics +5d
Unarmed Combat +5d
Melee (blades) +5d
Dodge +5d (20)
Stealth +2d+1wd (6)
Perception +3d
Lie +3d (6) 32
Empathy +2d
Endurance +2d
Lockpicking +2d
Security systems +2d
Stability +2d
Japanese +1d (11) 43
75
Notes: Haunted by the souls of the countless second rate ninja and petty criminals who were distilled to make it. They show up as hallucinations to bug the player and ask for favors.
Using multiple actions allows you to declare and attempt up to three actions without penalty.

Dud: receptive/projective telepathy, starts at 1d, gains one d every minute, on a match it activates, odd is receptive, even is projective, roll for every stressful situation, or boring ones, or high focus or if it's funny.
