Has anyone built a better vampire? I think I might need one for my Plundergrounds zine and I’m not crazy about the one in the core book. Looking for a singular example, maybe nosferatu like. Credit extended in the book to anyone that brings the awesome. 🙂

Not a100% vampire, but I have a feral/underling/vampire playbook here that you can check out:

Creepy! I’ll check that out.

Wow. No one? Okay. Uh … here’s a quick stab at it. But it would be better if weirder. This one is just a slightly more colorful/precise version of the book’s.
Vampire: solitary, stealthy, changing form, ancient mind, allergic to sunlight and displays of true faith. Instinct: to feed on the choicest specimens of humanity. Moves: overpower someone with magnetism, feed without waking its prey, retreat to plan again. Supernatural bite (d8+5, 1 piercing, close, forceful), 10 HP, 2 Armor.
Well, jeez, man… give us a minute! 🙂
Here’s an over-the-top example I statted up once to show how one might make a Big Bad.

Oooh. Some good touches in that one Jeremy Strandberg!
Ray Otus Oh man, i thought you were talking about playbooks. My bad! I did question to myself what Vampire you meant from the core book…
Here goes…
Master of Blood
Solitary, Large, Intelligent, Terrifying
Razor Sharp Claws (b[2d12] + 3 damage, + 1 piercing); 24HP; 0 armor;
Close, Reach, Forceful, Near
Instinct: Drain the essence of another
Special Qualities: The Master of Blood is an unholy ancestor of the vampires from tales of old. They are driven to stay alive at any cost. Their sole purpose is to continue to fight the ravages of time through constant feeding and they do that by slaying their victims and absorbing their blood through the skin. A Master of Blood may appear as a man of any age, but upon absorbing blood will grotesquely transform into a more youthful countenance. While they generally attack at night, it is more as a means to remain unseen than any particular aversion to daytime (although, there is some speculation that its ability to revitalize may be hampered by direct sunlight).
Moves:
– Hit an artery
– Soak in blood of foes and be revitalized
– Unholy strength
– Deflect a blow
That’s scary as shit Jim Jones 🙂
Ray Otus You said you wanted something weirder. I decided to make a brutal vampire of a different sort.
Good?
Jim Jones, like this?

I think a Master of Blood would look like a normal person until they were covered in blood and it started to seep into their pores causing them to grotesquely transform into a more youthful and revitalized version of their previous self.
