Dhampir Catch - A Solid +3?
« on: August 15, 2012, 11:26:41 PM »
Any ideas for a catch on a Dhampir's Toughness/Recovery powers that would work at +3? I'm trying to create a template with 7 refresh to spend and its tough to fit it all in there.

The problem is I dont want to stray far from general vampire or dhampir lore so it needs to make sense. So far I'm just using the Ghoul's catch at +2 (Holy Stuff).

The general paths to a RAW +3 Catch amount to 'not immediately obvious but researchable, reasonably available to almost anyone' or 'common knowledge to anyone meaningfully inducted into the supernatural world, available only to a small portion of possible opponents'.

The specifics, of course, would depend on the mythology that you're drawing from for the origin of this dhampir.
Even Chaotic Neutral individuals have to apologize sometimes. But at least we don't have to mean it.

For those who are curious, here is the template I've come up with:

-1 Blood Drinker
-1 Claws/Fangs
+1 Human Form
+1 -Involuntary Change (Strong Negative Emotions: Anguish, Rage Etc)
-2 --Upgrades Inhuman Strength to Supernatural Strength
-1 --Berserker (Fists) (Completely Involuntary, Activates on Shift)
+1 Feeding Dependency
-2 -Inhuman Strength
-2 -Inhuman Speed
+3 --The Catch (Holy Stuff, Sunlight)
-2 ---Inhuman Toughness
-2 ---Inhuman Recovery


For those of you who have read the Dorina Basarab books, you'll see how I modeled this off of her abilities.

It doesn't seem to fit the mythos you are using but I could see fire working for the character.
