Allies: Each Dot gives the PC one Ally. Each Ally is built the same way as a Follower with the Limitation; Activation: 12- (-1). Select the amount of points the Ally is based on and divide by 10 for the total cost. Use the following guidelines:

*Normal Humans (Skilled Normal: 25pt Base)...................................3pts /1 or 5pts/2

*Ghouls, Hunters, Most Animals (Competent Normal: 50pt Base)....................5pts each

*Vampires (Supernatural: 145pt Base)............................................................14pts each

*Werewolf (Supernatural: 160pt Base)...........................................................16pts each

Alternate Identity: Taken from Dark Champions' Deep Cover perk (p.28) this allows a vampire to have a separate and complete identity in the mortal world for 2pts (it costs 5pts to have an alternate Kindred identity). If the identity is ever uncovered as false, the points are lost along with the identity. The Vampire may have multiple Identities with GM's approval.

Contacts: Each Dot gives one Contact at 12- roll. Contacts cost 3pts each.

Fame: This Perk is a Reputation Advantage! (the opposite of the Reputation Disadvantage)

level 2> 8 vessels………8pts

level 3> 16 vessels........10pts

level 4> 32 vessels……12pts

level 5> 64 vessels........14pts

Haven: Using the Dark Champions' option for Bases called Safehouses (p.29), this perk allows a vampire to have a number of havens costing 1 point each. Havens are considered to be lightproofed, out of the way and ,sometimes, hidden entirely. Some havens may even be used as storehouses for extra supplies (blood, ammo and/or cash). Although, the GM may charge an extra point or two for a particularly well stocked, well defended or concealed haven. Usually the location of these havens is limited to the campaign city. However, many resourceful vampires keep havens in cities nationwide or across the globe.

Influence: Bought as Fringe Benefits pertaining to particular areas of Human Society.

(ex: Law Enforcement; Corporate; Criminal (or Underworld); etc.)

levels 1&2> Local powers of Influence..........................5pts

levels 3&4> Federal Powers of Influence…………….10pts

level 5> International Powers of Influence....................15pts

(Optional: Give 5pts/ Dot to spend on Influences)

Mentor: The PC must buy a 3pt Contact with the Mentor (roll: 12-) plus the Kindred Status level, if any, of their patron. The Contact roll may be increased depending on the mutual relationship between the Neonate and her Mentor.

Resources: this Perk is in a different scale to Hero’s Wealth Advantage. It uses the same guidelines from GURPS Wealth Advantage.

level 1> Middle Class: $15,000 with living space and vehicle............................0pts

level 2> Comfortable: $30,000 with nice house and vehicle…………………..3pts

level 3> Well Off: $75,000 with 1+ houses or cars...........................................5pts

*Very Skilled Ghouls and Ghoul Animals (75pt Base)....................15pts each

*Vampires (145pt Base)………………………………………..20pts each

*Werewolf (Not Bloody Likely!)...................................................N/A

Kindred Status: A new Fringe Benefit. Note that some of these positions may overlap. In that case, add together all Status levels that apply to the Character.

Empathy: [Int/5 +9= 3pts; +1/ 2pts]

You have a feeling for people. When you first meet someone, or when you’re reunited after a absence, you may request the GM to roll against your skill level. The GM will then tell you what you feel about that person. This skill, when it works, may help the character to spot imposters, ghostly possession, etc., and determine the true loyalties of NPCs. You may also guess whether a person is lying...not what the truth really is, but whether they are being honest with you.

Intimidation: [Pre/5 +9= 3pts; +1/ 2pts]

Your character understands the science of being overbearing and how to use it to get what she wants. The art of Intimidation takes many forms, ranging from subtle suggestion to out right physical pain. When coupled with the Interrogation skill, the results can be incredible. People with a high Intimidation skill seem to radiate auras of authority.

This skill is often employed against NPCs and, in certain situations, can be used instead of Persuasion to allow the character to get her way with NPCs. Against PCs and NPCs Intimidation can be used to add to Presence attacks. A successful roll will add 1D6, while a critical roll (under half the PC’s skill roll) adds 2D6, when the Character wishes to intimidate her opponent.

Leadership: [Pre/5 +9= 3pts; +1/ 2pts]

Your character not only has the ability to coordinate a group in a dangerous or stressful situation, she can get people to follow her lead and obey orders by exerting authority and by example. This is not so much the techniques of getting people to follow as it is being the type of person people will follow.

A successful roll will add 1D6 (+2D6 on a critical roll) to Pre attacks used to lift morale of the character’s own group. Also, a successful roll will counteract Pre attacks made against a PC’s group (as long as the PC does not also succumb to the Pre attack) by -1D6 or -2D6 if a critical roll.

Thaumaturgy: [Int/5+9= 3pts; +1/ 2pts]

Your character has studied, and has understanding of, the Tremere's hermetic and occult lore. This skill fulfills the Skill Roll limitation for Thaumatugic spells and rituals. Please note that Sabbat characters wishing to practice Kuldon must purchase a similar, but different, skill called (surprise!) Kuldon [Int based].

New Talents:

Animal Empathy: (5pts) This allows the PC with Animal Handler or Riding Skills to make a skill roll to manage any single animal at a time, even if she is not familiar with the species.

(ex: A dog trainer with Animal Empathy can make a roll to try and calm an angry cougar.)

The GM may set penalties for trying to manage very unfamiliar or alien creatures (-3 to -5).

Animal Empathy also gives +1 to roll vs creatures the Animal Handler is familiar with.

Magery: (variable, 2pt minimum) In games where magic is hard to come by for the average person this talent may be enforced. Magery allows characters to use spells whose active points are equal to or less than the PC’s Magery Level x5. Magery costs 1pt / Level.

2 = 10

5 = 25

8 = 40

10 = 50

12 = 60

20 = 100

(Note: Because of the special nature of vampires, they may not buy magery by itself. Magery can only be gained through the Discipline of Thaumaturgy.)

(as an option, the GM may ignore the Hero costs and assign a flat 3pts/ dot if she feels that is more balanced.)
