Custom Power List
Sanctaphrax:
Well, maybe I'm overreacting.
Extra spells just make me nervous.
Heck, I'm not even confident in the balance of the extra mental stress box power.
ways and means:
The power was never meant to be stacked with evocation, it is a power meant for semi-traditional vampires who being undead can't use evocation (I think). As the power has blood drinker as a pre-requisite it is mainly meant as a NPC power which should dodge the balance issue of stacking evocation with blood drinker.
Sanctaphrax:
I don't follow.
Why can't the undead evoke?
Why would Blood Drinker not be taken by PCs?
What is the balance problem with Blood Drinker + Evocation?
ways and means:
The reason I thought that the undead couldn't have evocation is that evocation is magic drawn partly from life so it wouldn't make sense for something dead to have it without a sponsor.
The reason I think blood drinker will be rare for PC's is that besides from RCI there are no PC blood drinkers in canon and even if you were play a RCI you probably wouldn't want to use a power which causes you hunger stress (power of the blood) which would in turn make you more lily to lose control and kill someone.
I was responding to Belials comment on taking my custom power and evocation the problem of potentially double caster stamina rather than blood drinker and evocation.

Undead should be able to do magic without an add-on power: even BCVs. If they couldn't, I am fairly certain that Evil Hat would have included such a power in the Powers section, or specified in their monster writeup such a shortcoming.
