Vampiric Weaknesses

Sun Bane: The sun would burn the flesh, (40 d6 per turn, +1 HB in direct sunlight) and if too long exposed would consume the Undead drinker of blood entirely, their Soul to lie in purgatory until expired on the fourth day, whereupon the demons of hell would devour their soul (when final death occurs, otherwise their soul escapes for resurrections). They sleepeth as the dead during light of day. Sunbane Negated by generation:

• 1st gen resist 90% sun damage, stats reduced by 20% in sunlight
• 2nd gen resist 85% sun damage, stats reduced by 30% in sunlight
• 3rd gen resist 75% sun damage, stats reduced by 40% in sunlight
• 4th gen resist 65% sun damage, stats reduced by 50% in sunlight, etc. Resistance is fixed, meaning it cannot be lowered.
• Blood of Life: The Dark Father, and all he made and who made others of the blood of Caerellius, could taste no food, and receive no nourishment, but from the blood of Ka {the life force, i.e living creatures} and only of the living. If the blood of the Undead is drunk of this clan, shall they become disfigured and rendered lame, grotesquely so if the blood they drank was of low or ancient generation. Also, they shall lose their powers of haste completely and much of their strength (-50% on all vampiric stats) the duration dependant upon on how much they drank and the power of the blood imbibed (base level of vampire = level rolled, +1 month per success, +1 month per level, +1 year per ace, x ten on a crit). They can drink from their own clan only without consequence.
• Pall of Death: All who were made of the blood of Caerellius would wear of pall of death upon their flesh that would make their skin very pale, a glow of health and warmth on them only when they were well nourished.
• Blood Bondage: When blood was taken from one of Arcadius' blood line, would the drinker be bound to them as a thrall, the strength of this bond increased each time a pint was consumed. With three pints would the drinker's will be enslaved to the vampire (-6 willpower). If the blood bond was defied, (by a higher willpower) the bonded would be affected by a flaw or taint in their Nature, Blood or Physical vessel, each time they attempted to break away from their blood master, unless their Master freed them of bond. If a mortal is bonded as a thrall, some of their Master's powers are passed onto them, and they become a quasi-immortal blood thrall.}
• Curse of the Undead: Spoken was this curse by Arcadius' Sire, -"No more shall Arcadius Caerellius Sire than the count of his fingers once {10} and no more shall his children Sire than the count of one hand's fingers {5} for thereafter shall their blood be infertile."

NOTE: The Caerellius clan guards their curses and powers alike as sacred! They will NOT give their weaknesses away, or divulge the secrets of their power to other clans and those who should might be marked as traitors and hunted by their own clan.

Inborn Ancestral Powers

(ALL powers burn blood to use, the more power he channels, the more blood he burns.)

  Siring and Bondage: Level 28
• 1-Progeny-Sired by the draining of blood to the point of death and drinking a small amount of the vampire's blood, amount dependant on generation and age of vampire. Death occurs immediately and vampiric resurrection occurs over a period of days. If days exceed 2, chances of survival decrease dramatically. At five days, intended progeny perishes. If too much blood is drained, chosen perishes. If too much or too little blood is provided, death also occurs.
• 2-Blood Thralls-Slight draining of blood and giving of a larger amount of vampire's blood. Amount of blood dependant on generation of Regent's blood. Blood thralls have no fangs. They can eat food. They are quasi-immortal and stop aging and 'live until death,' but although they have weak regeneration, they can die by mortal wounds, and a painful death of blood starvation within a month without their master's blood. Blood Thralls must feed once a week to maintain their strength, they are utterly dependant on their regent's blood. They can learn three levels of their regent's powers, and up to five levels if 500 years old.
• 3-Slave Bondage-Similair to Blood Thrall but more blood is drained from victim and half a pint of blood imbues the subject as vampire performs 'Rites of Domination' over subject as his blood is consumed (by force, will or domination) by the intended slave. Blood Slaves are utterly obediant to their vampiric masters for their will is no longer their own.

• 8-Physical Majesty - Vampire can use vampiric temple with supernatural haste in combat combinations, or in flight.
• 9-Arcane Prowess - Vampire can imbue their claws and fangs with their blood to inflict a gift effect on a victim, and have great command of presence, their inborn gifts of haste at the highest level, their strength phenominal.
• 10-Godly Presence - Vampire can enhance in height and increase presence dramatically, their shadow spreading to eclipse an area up to 50 yards in perimeter, while their presence radiates their chosen state of presence so potently that the wills of those who fall under their shadow crumbles (-10 WP).

Paths of Power

Minuome Potentia

Blood Sorcery :: Level 25

(Vitality vs. LoD, or Power vs. Power)

• 1-{1-3} Bestial Trance - Charms victim while mage is feeding
• 2-{4-6} Crimson Flame - Using blood energy to project a flame
• 3-{7-9} Enrapture - Using blood energy to enchant a subject
• 4-{10-12} Arcane Domination - Dominate channeling blood energy
• 5-{13-15} Blood Source - Transcendental transfusion of blood
• 6-{16-18} Dervish Flame - Ignites a victim's blood into flames
• 7-{19-21} Oblation of Life - Transcendental removal of blood
• 8-{22-24} Master of Enslavement - Use blood to enslave and burn mark of possession
• 9-{25-27} Arcane Prowess - Blood energy tapped to make mage incredibly strong and render them invulnerable to physical damage.
• 10-{28-30} Abyssal Decay - Mage can devour blood, will, essence, soul by touch through opening a metaphysical vacuum within themselves, decaying their victim rapidly.
• 11-{31-35} Blood Cauldron
• Stage One - Mage can create a blood cauldron, out of an ordinary cauldron, by invoking Saolinín Dirgban the Goddess of Blood, with an offering of half their blood. When the goddess is invoked she tells the mage to spill their blood into the cauldron. The goddess in turn awakens the spirits of life and death inside the cauldron, of creation and ends. The goddess also protects the cauldron 44 d6-LoD vs. Power to Destroy or affect cauldron.The only blood within the cauldron is four pints of the mage's blood as it was first offered. If this blood is ever spilled out of the cauldron, the mage must offer half his/her blood to the cauldron again. Stamina is only paid ONCE to this cauldron, to invoke the goddess the first time. After that the cauldron feeds on blood offerings and its master's will.
• Stage Two - The mage's will slowly becomes the cauldron's, and visa-versa, and no one but the mage who created the cauldron can command it. Blood must be given to the cauldron to activate its powers, in the amount of one pint for every command given the cauldron. All Blood Sorcery spells cast through the Cauldron are automatically sealed and proofed against disenchantments (+2), and can be cast at level 35. The cauldron soaks all blood spilled into it. When all the mage's will is gone, the cauldron turns the mage into a Bleeding Terror Lich. Cauldron uses -1 Willpower per command used through the cauldron.
• Stage Three - The mage's will is returned to them as a Lich, while all the Bleeding Terror's arcane power and a great deal of their life force is transferred to a secret object to form their phylactery, or vital force. This object must be destroyed to destroy the Lich. The cauldron's TRUE power is unlocked as the mage becomes a Lich. Through the cauldron the Lich can formulate Blood Sorcery powers, enchant items with existing or formulated commands, create wards and artifacts, enslave others, kill them, even mutate, or create monsters out of other creatures, learn and practice Necromancy with up to 4 spells in each level. In a word...Bleeding Terror Liches are POWERFUL, and NOT pleasant to look at either. These Liches have a strong tendency to be as hungry for power as for blood, and not very nice. It was an extreme lust for power which got them where they are in the first place, after all. See Races: Blood Lich Page.
• 12-{36} Tribute of Life - Blood Lich only. Lich offers a victim to their Blood Cauldron to enhance cauldron's power, or to regain some of their former vampiric appearance. if the cauldron has devoured the blood, souls, and lives of 10 victims by the time the Lich reaches level 40, they gain a subrace shift, although IN this shift, they can only command levels 1-35. Tribute of Life powers the cauldron by +4 otherwise.
• 12-{37-40} God of Blood - Bleeding Terror Lich can call on the power of the cauldron even at a distance to improve their powers, and can Cast any Blood Sorcery or Necromantic powers at these levels when mastered.
