Necroaegis

By Strutinan Cerberus (abrein@jeffnet.org) for the Lich bloodline.

Description

This discipline focuses on reducing the weaknesses of being a vampire. It allows the Lich to resist the vampire's usual banes as well as reducing their detectibility.

* Beating Heart and Hungry Body

The vampire's body seems to come alive in appearance for a short period of time. His heart beats; his skin regains all capillary responses; he can eat and drink (but gains no nourishment); he excretes water instead of blood, and can even enjoy conjugal relations.

System: The lich must spend one blood point to use this ability for one hour. He gains one of the above listed abilities for every level of his Necroeagis discipline, chosen when this power is activated.

** Wakeful Soul

The vampire does not suffer from daytime lethargy, and can even forgo his need for the day's sleep.

System: The vampire must spend a blood point to totally throw off all penalties associated with being active during the daylight hours. To relieve himself of the day's rest requirement he needs to spend a Willpower point as well as the blood point.

*** Autoinflammatory Resistance

The vampire's flesh is no longer as susceptible to fire and sunlight as it once was. He gets to use his Stamina as well as Fortitude to soak any damage taken taken from these two traditional banes of the undead.

**** Flesh Made Whole

The vampire has gained the ability to heal aggravated wounds as if they were normal wounds. This ability can only be invoked for one wound level per dot in Stamina each night however.

***** The Talking Head

This powerful ability allows the vampire to maintain his mystical contact with his bodily parts even if there is no longer any physical connection. He cannot take more than one wound level (non-aggravated) from any loss of a body part, even decapitation! Yes this means decapitation is no longer lethal to the vampire! He can sense the location of any errant body part as well as use all their senses, abilities and move them using their own muscles. It only takes one blood point to reconnect a body part by healing the damage its loss caused. This power does not work on any body part that has been lost by any means other than separation from the body.
