Critters indicates that the Enhanced Physical Attributes power may be
used for one or more attributes, and that limitations are noted in each
critter's description. The Vampire's description notes no limitations,
therefore I take it to apply to all physical attributes (yipe!). So if
Varny's essence is 12, the max, he can have a Body & Strength of 15,
and a Quickness of 20. Using their running multiplier of 5, Varny can
now run 100 metres every Combat Turn, or 33.33 metres per second ("Holy
unholyness, Batman! He's keeping up with the Batmobile!" At this
point, Varny gives Adam West a choice...resist 15M stun, or take acting
lessons).
