Powers
Vampires being creatures of the night have several abilities which help them.
Celerity: the ability to move at faster-than-human speeds
Resilience: the ability to withstand damaging attacks with comparatively minor injuries.
Vigor: the ability to manifest supernatural strength above and beyond even a vampire's naturally superhuman capabilities.
In addition to these, Vampires have three ways in using their power a little more abstractly over humans and even other supernaturals who are somewhat weakminded. (note, other supernaturals being NPC's)
Dominate: allows a piercing stare that commands minds and the ability to break the will of others.
Majesty: grants a seductive or commanding sway of emotions and the predatory manipulation of the weak.
Nightmare: the power to evoke sheer terror by revealing one's primal nature.
Weaknesses
Unlike many fictional portrayals, Vampires are not repelled by crucifixes, garlic or running water, and they can enter any private domain without invitation. A stake through the heart merely paralyses them. Fire, sunlight and the claws and fangs of supernatural animals inflict terrible injuries that take a lot of time and blood to heal. During the daytime most vampires become catatonic and cannot operate, whether or not they are sheltered from sunlight.
