this gives the shifter abilitys to hake it even with any

increase reaction+2 is a MUST

Who said that vampires and were wolves where so weak they got
wasted alllthe time??
remember vampire players...YOU ARE IMMORTAL!! someone bugging
you? get them later...years later...you can spend the time
getting all the info you need on them,killing there friends and
family, ruining there life,destroying anything they ever cared
for.the whole lot.
No vampire is going to risk themselves in a street brawl when
they have eternity to play with...

also..
when i let players have vampire pc's (nights edge) i have one
fun rule...vampires cannot die.they are forever denied rest.
You can club them,gas them,burn them,stab them,jump onto them
,anything....THEY STILL FEEL IT HURT<BUT THEY CANNOT DIE>
Edmund Smythe ended up with a broken neck, shattered
skull, several ribs snapped ,a leg blown off by a CAWS and his
throat ripped out by a werewolf...he was consious all the time
Harley Bobbins was kicked to death by ex-military psycho's. all
of his limbs where compound fractures (bones poking thru the
surface) and his spine GRATTED as he tried to move,by he still
had to crawl into cover before the sun came up...
Still so keen on playing vampires?
Don't let them get away with a miraculus "end of round, i'm
healed" ... make them heal boxes with BLOOD... be
visious, gory... get read of those pretty boxes and describe
wounds in GORY DETAIL...they'll get smart sometime...

Remember... it's the GM's duty to hideously maim any player who
thinks they can take on ANYTHING and WIN.
(supercharacter? you can take assault cannon rounds to the chest
and laugh? but your lover has been crippled in a hi-speed chase
with police,your parents died in a house fire,and your bank has
seized all your assets cos the police wrongly suspect they're
drug profits...HAVE A NICE DAY!)

CHOPPER
the man with the mental inbalance
I DON'T SEE YOU , SO DON'T PRETEND YOUR THERE!!!!
