Luftus

By L1NOCELL@VAXC.STEVENS-TECH.EDU

* Stick to surface

The vampire can stick himself to a ceiling or wall, even with no handholds. While being stuck there, he can move along the wall at the rate of 10 feet per minute, by slowly sliding across, up, or down. If climbing onto a wall, success is automatic. If jumping at a wall/ceiling and trying to stick, a Dexterity + Luftus check must be made (difficulty 6).

** Jump

The vampire can jump additional feet per success on an attempt to jump. First the jump power must be initiated (instantaneous) and then the jump attempt be made. The roll will be Stamina + Luftus at difficulty 6.

Successes	Horizontal	Vertical
1 success	5	3
2 successes	6	4
3 successes	7	5
4 successes	8	6
5 successes	9	7

+ 1 foot per additional successes.

*** Light fall

At this level the vampire can control the speed of his fall, so that he takes no damage for the first several feet, then takes normal damage afterwards. The number of feet is determined by successes on dexterity + athletics + Luftus roll. The difficulty will be dependent on how the vampire fell. ie. if he actively jumps down, the difficulty is 4. If he is thrown off a building and tries to initiate the power, the difficulty would be 7 or higher. Also when actively jumping, the power can be initiated beforehand, so he will know how far he can safely fall.

1 success	40 feet
2 successes	70 feet
3 successes	100 feet
4 successes	130 feet
5 successes	160 feet

Each additional success adds 40 feet

**** Glide

The vampire can jump down as in power 3 or up as in power 2, but can control his fall on the way down. He can move up to 20 feet sideways for each 10 he falls down.

***** Flight

The vampire can fly around at the rate of 30 miles per hour.

****** Air Manipulation

The vampire has limited telekinesis. He does this by controlling the air around an object (so effectively he could put out fires as well). For each motion he must make a Luftus + dexterity roll against 6, and can keep straight line motion of an object. If he wants to change its direction he must make another roll. Maximum that can be lifted is 250 pounds.

******* Air servant

The vampire can create a swirling whirlwind of air about 3 feet high as a servant. It can follow limited specific instructions (as if talking to an animal) and then be sent away to carry out the orders. It can go through anything with a small opening but cannot fight. It will not neccessarily disturb things around it (except maybe the dust). Only one can exist at a time. It can be dispersed instantly, even when not in the sight of the character. It will last for an hour on its own.

******** Hurricane

The vampire can create a hurricane the size of a small town, on a Luftus roll against difficulty 8. It will take a few minutes to appear and then will start destroying things. He cannot disperse it. The duration and strength is determined by successes:

Successes	Duration	Wind Speed
1 success	5 minute	40 mph winds
2 successes	15 minute	50 mph winds
3 successes	30 minute	60 mph winds
4 successes	1 hour	70 mph winds
5 successes	Permanent*	80 mph winds

* Will continue until it disperses naturally.

********* Instantaneous Movement

On a successful stamina + Luftus roll with difficulty 8, the vampire can immediately appear anywhere within his line of sight. He is actually moving there at an incomprehensible rate, so nothing can be in his way at the time (nothing that wouldn't break when he hits it).

********** Destruction

By simultaneously increasing the kinetic energy of every particle in a stationary object, the vampire can cause it to blow apart, if he makes a Strength roll at difficulty 9. The object must be within sight. Each success causes aggravated damage to a living object.

Successes	Area Affected	Damage (Aggravated)
1 success	1 cubic foot (my monitor)	2
2 successes	3 cubic feet (computer + monitor)	4
3 successes	0 cubic feet (big person)	7
4 successes	30 cubic feet (desk)	12
5 successes	50 cubic feet (car)	20
