Liber Vampyr

until you successfully use this feat on the target again). In
some cases, the target may go as far as to actively seek you out
and encourage you to feed on her, at the GM’s discretion.
Shroud in Darkness (Vampire)
You know how to call upon the powers of the night to shroud
yourself in a special, protective darkness.
Prerequisite: Cruomancer level 9 th .
Benefit: As a standard action, by spending 5 blood points,
you can cause yourself to radiate an aura of darkness to a
range of 30 feet. This functions as deeper darkness, except
that you can always see through darkness that you create in
this way, even if it becomes supernaturally dark, or if you lack
darkvision. The duration of the effect depends on what the
light level of the affected area would be if you were not using
this ability. The effect lasts for a number of minutes equal to
your cruomancer level. For each round that you are in an area
that would have a light level of normal light, if not for this
ability, you use 1 minute of the effect’s duration, instead of 1
round. For each round that you are in an area that would have
a light level of bright light, if not for this ability, you use 2
minutes of the effects duration, instead of 1 round.
Subtle Bite (Vampire)
You know how to drain blood from your victims painlessly, so
that they never feel a thing.
Prerequisite: Vampire’s Bite.
Benefit: If you use your Vampire’s Bite feat on a victim who
is sleeping or fascinated, you may choose to do so without
waking them, or breaking the fascination. This allows you
to use your Vampire’s Bite feat on creatures that are not
helpless, as long as they are fascinated. The target is entitled
to a Perception check (opposed by your Stealth check) to
notice the bite each round that you continue draining their
blood. Sleeping victims suffer the normal -10 penalty to
these Perception checks, and fascinated victims suffer the
normal -4 penalty. Sleeping victims who notice the bite
immediately awaken, and fascinated creatures who notice the
bite immediately cease to be fascinated. In either case, if the
target ceases to be fascinated or helpless, you can no longer
use your Vampire’s Bite feat on them as a result of this feat.
Normal: Normally, using the Vampire’s Bite feat to drain
blood from a sleeping creature causes that creature to
immediately awaken, and using it to drain blood from
a creature that is fascinated ends the fascination effect
immediately.
Tiring Bite (Vampire)
As you drain away your victim’s life essence, he becomes
weaker and less able to resist you.
Prerequisite: Vampire’s Bite.
Benefit: Whenever you deal at least 1 point of Constitution
damage to a creature with the Vampire’s Bite feat, that
creature is fatigued for as long as he continues to have at
least 1 point of Constitution damage. Further, if you deal
at least 6 points of Constitution damage to that creature,
he is exhausted for as long as he has at least 6 points of
Constitution damage.
Vampire’s Bite (Vampire)
You have fangs that allow you to drain the blood of your
victims.
Prerequisite: Cruomancer level 1 st .
Benefit: As a full-round action that does not provoke attacks
of opportunity, you can drain blood from an adjacent creature
that is both living and either willing or helpless. Alternatively,
you can drain blood from a creature that you have pinned
in a grapple, in which case you do so instead of any other
action when you successfully maintain the grapple. Either
way, this inflicts 1 point of Constitution damage on the target
per round that you continue the attack. For every 5 points of
Constitution damage inflicted in this way, you gain a single
blood point. Only Constitution damage inflicted to the same
creature in consecutive rounds is counted for the purposes
of this ability (for example, inflicting 2 points of Constitution
damage on one target, and then inflicting 3 points of
Constitution damage on another target several minutes later
would not cause you to gain 1 blood point).
Vampiric Athletics (Vampire)
You draw upon your stolen life essence to perform
superhuman feats of athleticism.
Prerequisite: Cruomancer level 1 st .
Benefit: As a swift action, by spending 1 blood point, you can
gain a +10 enhancement bonus on all Acrobatics, Climb, and
Swim checks. This benefit lasts for 1 min./level.
For every five cruomancer levels you possess, you can
spend 1 additional blood point when you activate this ability.
If you do, the enhancement bonus increases by an additional
+5 (to a maximum bonus of +30 at 20 th level).
Vampiric Beast Form (Vampire)
With a ferocious snarl your body begins to twist and
transform, and your inner beast comes bubbling to the
surface.
Prerequisite: Greater Beast Traits, cruomancer level 5 th .
Benefit: As a standard action, by spending 2 blood points,
you can take on the shape of one of the creatures that you
selected for your Greater Beast Traits feat. This functions as
beast shape II, except that it can only be used to transform
into animals that you have selected the Greater Beast Traits
feat for (or similar creatures, at GM discretion).
If your cruomancer level is 12 or higher, you may have
this ability function as beast shape III, instead, and if your
cruomancer level is 15 or higher, you may have it function
as beast shape IV. Doing so does not cost additional blood
points.
Vampiric Charm (Gaze, Vampire)
You cloud the mind of your victim, and all he sees of you is
allure and mystery, rather than the cold killer that you are.
Prerequisite: Vampiric Hypnosis.
Benefit: As a standard action, by spending 1 blood point,
you can cause a creature to like and trust you. This functions
similarly to charm person, except that in order to use the
ability you must either touch the target or make eye contact
with them. If you choose to use this ability via eye contact, it
follows the normal rules for a feat with the gaze descriptor.
If you choose to use this ability via touch, the normal rules
