Racial Sub-Type: Vampire Halfblood (Nasaku)

Vampires of all types reproduce by infecting their intended thralls with Hemostigma, a disease which reanimates a corpse with Negative Energy and causes them to rise as new vampires. But every now and then, things do not go as planned - the victim resists the infection and becomes something else - a half-vampire, half-mortal being with some of the hungers, powers, and abilities of a Vampiric lineage, but also some of the weaknesses. These abilities stack with any other existing mutations you possess. Vampires loathe halfbloods and will hunt any known half-vampires relentlessly, not least because they can inoculate potential victims by sharing their blood with them.

The Nasaku are a vampire lineage exclusive to the undead realm of Napath. See the Nasaku Bloodline sub-heading for special features.

All Vampire Halfbloods possesses the following features:

●        Acquired immunity to Hemostigma.

●        Inoculation: You can inoculate other humanoids against contracting vampirism with your blood.

●        Vampiric toxicity: Your blood and flesh are toxic to vampires, causing their tissues to rot and slough away. If a vampire attempts to drain your blood, they will take substantial Necrotic damage that cannot be regenerated.

●        Deathly Facade: You outwardly resemble a vampire of your bloodline, detect as Undead, and may gain advantages or disadvantages to Renown-based checks depending on the faction you are interacting with. You may slow your heart rate and your breathing to inhuman levels, multiplying your ability to hold your breath in airless environments. However, you are not Undead: you are still a living mortal, and while you now age more slowly than a normal human, you must still breathe, eat and drink, keep your vital organs functioning, etc.

●        Immune to Stranging: You can no longer be Stranged through contact with mana. You still take damage from mana toxicity above your damage threshold.

●        Regeneration: like a vampire, you are able to regenerate wounds that would kill a normal human. When injured by normal weapons or obstacles, you regain 2 HP per second. Damage from silver weapons, Fire magic or weapons, or Dark or Light-elemental weapons is not regenerated.

●        Allergic to Silver: Contact with Silver drains 5 HP per second and causes Severe pain. Extended contact may cause scarring.

Nasaku Bloodline Traits

Descended from the undead Priest-Kings of Napath, the Nasaku have some unusual monstrous qualities that other vampires do not possess. Their hard metallic skin and fangs, their mechanism of feeding, and resistance to sunlight are a few traits that distinguish these vampires from their pale northern cousins.

●        Necrolord: The Vampire’s power to command animal Familiars does not apply to Nasaku. Instead,
