Liber Vampyr

well as the maximum number of blood points he can have in
his blood point pool at any given time.
Dreamstalker’s Assassin (Vampire)
You can cause nightmares so intense that they may kill your
victim outright.
Prerequisite: Vampiric Dreamstalker.
Benefit: When you use the Vampiric Dreamstalker feat you
may spend an additional 3 blood points. If you do, then in
addition to the normal effects of visiting the target’s dreams,
you fill the target’s dreams with terrors so life-like and real
that the dream itself may be deadly. The target must succeed
on a secondary Will save (same DC) to disbelieve the effect,
and recognize these visions as nothing more than a terrible
nightmare. If he fails, he suffers a heart attack, or similar
psychosomatic trauma, and must succeed on a Fortitude save
(same DC) or suffer 1d10 points of damage per cruomancer
level you possess. Even if he succeeds on this Fortitude save,
he still suffers 3d6 points of damage. Either way, if the target
survives, he awakens immediately, and you are unable to
affect his dreams again for 24 hours. Any bonuses or penalties
to the target’s saving throw as a result of your knowledge
of or connection to the target (as outlined in the Vampiric
Dreamstalker feat) apply to these saving throws, as well.
Dreamstalker’s Command (Vampire)
You can implant hypnotic suggestions into a target’s
subconscious mind as he sleeps.
Prerequisite: Vampiric Dreamstalker.
Benefit: When you use the Vampiric Dreamstalker feat,
you may spend 1 additional blood point. If you do, then in
addition to the normal effects of visiting the target’s dreams,
you may implant within the target’s dreams an overwhelming
desire to perform a specific activity. The target must succeed
on a secondary Will save (same DC) or be affected as
though by the spell suggestion. Any bonuses or penalties
to the target’s saving throw as a result of your knowledge
of or connection to the target (as outlined in the Vampiric
Dreamstalker feat) apply to this saving throw, as well. The
suggestion takes effect as soon as the target awakens. Because
the source of the suggestion is the target’s own dreams, it
is automatically treated as a very reasonable suggestion
(imposing a -2 penalty on this saving throw). Directing the
target to perform an obviously harmful act still negates the
effects of the spell.
Dreamstalker’s Slave (Vampire)
You can directly control the bodies of those whose dreams you
enter.
Prerequisite: Dreamstalker’s Command.
Benefit: When you use the Vampiric Dreamstalker feat you
may spend an additional 2 blood points. If you do, then in
addition to the normal effects of visiting the target’s dreams,
you take limited control over the target’s body while he
sleeps. The target must succeed on a secondary Will save
(same DC), or you gain control of their body as though with
the spell magic jar. Any bonuses or penalties to the target’s
saving throw as a result of your knowledge of or connection
to the target (as outlined in the Vampiric Dreamstalker feat)
apply to this saving throw, as well. The maximum duration
for this effect is equal to 5 minutes per cruomancer level
you possess. Further, the target’s soul is still within his own
body, and if anything causes him to awaken (including if
he succeeds on a Perception check to hear a loud noise, if
he suffers damage, or any other effect that could reasonably
awaken a sleepwalker), the effect immediately ends. This
effect does not have any range, and your soul returns to your
body regardless of distance.
Enhanced Gaze
Your sight-based abilities are more potent.
Prerequisite: One or more gaze feats, character level 5 th .
Benefit: Whenever a character averts his eyes from you in
order to avoid the effects of an ability that you gained from
a feat with the gaze descriptor, he only has a 25% chance of
avoiding that ability, rather than a 50% chance. You are still
treated as gaining concealment from him.
Special: Many feats with the gaze descriptor have additional
effects if you possess Enhanced Gaze. Such effects are
described in the individual feat’s description.
Expanded Blood Pool (Vampire)
You are able to store more life energy from the blood that you
drain.
Prerequisite: Cruomancer level 1 st .
Benefit: The maximum number of blood points that you can
have at any given time increases by 3.
Special: You can take this feat multiple times. Its effects
stack.
Greater Ally of the Night (Vampire)
Your predatory companion becomes more powerful.
Prerequisite: Ally of the Night, cruomancer level 5 th .
Benefit: The familiar that you gained becomes more
powerful, taking on the statistics of an animal companion,
rather than a familiar. The familiar’s statistics are replaced
with those of an animal companion of the appropriate type,
as outlined below. The familiar retains the empathic link
ability, but loses all other benefits of being a familiar. For
the purposes of determining the creature’s new abilities
as an animal companion, your druid level is equal to your
cruomancer level.
Bat: Your familiar becomes a dire bat animal
companion.
Cat: Your familiar becomes your choice of either a big
cat or small cat animal companion.
Rat: Your familiar becomes a dire rat animal
companion.
Snake: Your familiar becomes your choice of either a
constrictor snake animal companion or a viper snake animal
companion.
Spider: Your familiar becomes a giant spider animal
companion (found in Ultimate Magic).
Wolf: Your familiar becomes your choice of either a
dog animal companion or a wolf animal companion.
