Weaponis

* Weapon Meld

Have you ever had that problem when your weapons seem to fall out of your hands? Not any more!

System: The vampire spends one blood point. Only melee weapons may be attached to the skin, but there is no chance of losing it. This lasts for the duration of the scene.

** Simple Weaponry

Now, simple weapons can be formed from the vampire's skin.

System: The vampire must roll Weaponis + Survival (difficulty 8) in order to form a weapon. A blood point must be spent in addition. The number of successes indicates the sophistication of the weapon. All weapons cause damage as usual, but the difficulty of using them is reduced by one. A roll must be made for each hand, and the cost of blood remains the same. This lasts for one scene.

Successes	Weapon
1	Wooden Club
2	Spiked Club (Str + 3 damage)
3	Metal bar
4	Chain
5	Lasso

*** Gun Arm

Now, more sophisticated weapons can be attached to the hand of the vampire. Even pistols, and guns which are fired from one hand can be attached.

System: The vampire rolls Weaponis + Survival (difficulty 7), and spends one blood point to attach the weapon. It requires 2 successes to allow a gun to be fired from within the skin (which wraps around the weapon), and it cannot be lost. However, a penalty occurs when using this. If the vampire wishes to fire the weapon, the difficulty of firing is increased by one. The weapon can stay like this for one scene.

**** Concealable Weapons

Until now, the weapons melded to the vampire were not easily hidden. Now they can hide it within the body, for use later. The size of a weapon is a factor in this.

System: The vampire spends two blood points. Any weapon, with a conceal rating of J or below can be hidden within the body. Weapons larger than this, or those which require two hands to use cannot be concealed in this way. It requires the spending of a third blood point to attach the weapon to the arm, or remove it entirely. At this level, if the weapon was a firearm, no difficulty penalties are incurred.

***** Greater Weaponry

At this level of mastery, the vampire can produce weapons of more modern technological levels. Guns are an option too.

System: The vampire rolls Weaponis + Survival (difficulty 7). This power is similar to Simple Weaponry, in that weapons are formed from the body. 3 blood points are required to form the weapon. The difficulty to use melee weapons are reduced by 2, and now firearms are reduced by one. The weapon is retained for one scene.

Successes	Weapon
1	Great Sword (no Strength restriction)
2	Heavy Crossbow (counts as melee!!)
3	Flintlock pistol (difficulty 7, damage 4. Can explode on a botched attack roll -- ST discretion)
4	Magnum .45 pistol
5	Uzi (clip adds 5 to dice pool, though difficulty becomes 4)
6	Shotgun (deerhunter rounds available)
