Hick Jr:
Well. The "hard to read" is probably indicative only of me, a nearsighted grammar nazi. Maybe separate the Powers sections for the Yin and Yang vampires?

Sanctaphrax:
Jade Court, huh?

Come to think of it, I've seen plenty of versions of the Jade Court over the years. Some of 'em might have included templates. I'll go hunting later.

In addition to the above powers Yang vampires may add or increase the following:

Add Inhuman Toughness (-2)
Increase Speed to Supernatural (-2)
Add Inhuman Strength (-2)
Add Emotional Vampire(Lust) (-1)
Increase range and potency of Incite Emotion and add the emotion of wrath (but not fear or despair)

Yin inverse the above list with

Add Inhuman Recovery(-2)
Increase Strength to Supernatural (-2)
Add Inhuman Speed
Add Emotional vampire (fear)(-1)
Increase range and potency of Incite Emotion and add the emotion of despair (but not fear or wrath)

I think the struck-through sections should read

if
replace
lust

Otherwise looks good.

Hick Jr:
Meh, i made a Jade Court statblock a while back, and they were pretty scary. I translate the hopping into "walks stiffly but can jump forty feet straight up", and they ate life-force and magic at range. They were a "mosquito court" because they got Bram Stoker'd- the Chinese passed down tales of their weaknesses.

Want me to post it? There are probably going to be a lot of versions of the Jade.

Sanctaphrax:
Yes, there are a lot of versions.

But post yours anyway. The more the merrier.

PS: vultur, what's up with that Valkyrie template?

Hick Jr:
Here's my Jade Court vampire. They just walk stiffly instead of hopping, and utterly hate the stereotype. They're based in china and underwent a similar ordeal to the Black Court of old- Someone published all their weaknesses. Rather, several generations of Chinese were sure to pass down the tales of how the Jade Court could be defeated, and now they are similar to the Black Court- Only the clever ones are still alive. This statblock is meant to represent a Jampire of moderate age and includes a custom power. So take it with a grain of salt.

CHI EATER [-1]
You devour life-force and the inherent magic from human beings, be it by touch or with a simple glance.
Effects
Feeding Touch: Physical contact is necessary for a satisfying meal. With a touch, you may draw the chi out of your victim. Treat as a Weapon:2 physical attack using Discipline. This can also be done as a maneuver or a block, adding aspects like Feeling Faint or Too Weak to Move to your victim. Gain a +1 on subsequent feeding rolls if the first one succeeds.

At Range [-1] You may use this ability on targets up to a zone away without touching them.

Giga Drain [-1] Your chi drain becomes Weapon:4.

Magic Eater [-2] You can use your Chi Drain in it’s purest form- Sucking magic out of the very enviroment and your victims. You may now use your Chi Drain as a magical block, adding it’s weapon rating to your Discipline to determine the strength of the block. In addition, you can now apply aspects like Magically Inert and Powerless to victims of your Chi Eater, and can apply scene/zone aspects like Dead Magic Zone and Lifeless Blight. Requires Giga Drain.
