Another interesting idea, taking this thought further: What if
Vampire runners could not heal by turning during the refresh phase, or by
biotech? That would be a huge disadvantage, leaving them to only heal
through bloodbank, killing other runners, and perhaps the ability to trash
another present runner to heal themselves. Cool idea, and it would make for
a real challenge to run these Vampires.
