Special Abilities

• • Feed (1 AP): The vampire feeds on a restrained, helpless, or •
• enthralled target as a standard attack with their fangs, re-
• gaining HP equal to the damage dealt after mitigation. If a •
• point of damage is dealt successfully, the target’s Endurance
• characteristic is reduced by 10 until after their next long
• rest. The vampire can choose to use this ability to Coup de Va
• Grâce the target as long as the conditions are met, in which Ch
• case they regain the target’s remaining HP. Doing so costs Va
• 2 AP and the vampire cannot take actions until their AP is Ad
• refreshed. ta
• • Exsanguinate (2 AP): The vampire can use their fangs to Le
• Coup de Grâce the target as long as the conditions are met,
• in which case they regain the target’s remaining HP. After
• En
• Th
• doing so, the vampire loses any remaining AP for the round.

• non-legendary Nox Arcana & Hemomancy abilities.
• po
• for even the most experienced adventurers. They almost always
• control a small army of thralls and lesser vampires, and the •
• pursuit of their ambitions typically have dire consequences for
• mortals.
• It is recommended that GMs use Vampire Lords as the ultimate
• challenge a party may face during their journeys. GMs should •
• outfit them with powerful custom weapons, armor, and en-
• chanted gear; the provided list of equipment are suggestions,
• but GMs should not feel constrained by it. It may be best to
• “build-up” a Vampire Lord over the course of a campaign, with
• the party steadily fighting tougher and tougher vampiric foes
• until finally facing their foul master.
• Even alone, the Vampire Lord is an extremely difficult foe for
• any party to fight. Their immunity to normal weapons means
• that the unprepared party is doomed, and their complete mas-
• tery over both Nox Arcana and Hemomancy means they have
• powerful magical abilities to call upon in addition to any other
• forms of magic they may know. Furthermore, simply being in
• the presence of a Vampire Lord can cause a debilitating panic
• effect. Their weakness to sunlight is the only chink Vampire
• Lords have in their impressive arsenal, so providing parties the
• means to exploit this in some way can provide for interesting
• encounter design.
• Lycanthropes
• Cursed to undergo a harrowing change of form under the influence
• of the moons, Lycanthropes are mortals who have been touched by
• the powers of The Huntsman, Hircine. They come in a variety of
• shapes and sizes, from swift wolves, strong boars, savage bears, to
• even more exotic beasts. They often live on the fringes of Tamrielic
• society, being almost universally despised, and their condition is
• considered a curse by most. Some, however, see the transformation
• as a gift and fully give themselves to the beast within.
• The profiles in this section can represent the beast form of any
• NPC cursed with lycanthropy. In these cases, the GM should
• choose a NPC profile from Chapter 3: People to represent the
• humanoid form of this character.
• Werewolf
• As swift as they are savage, these werebeasts often hunt in packs to
• ambush any unfortunate mortals that cross their path in the
• wilderness of Tamriel.

Encountering Vampire Lord

raits Sun-Scarred (3): Any damage inflicted on a character with this trait after mitigation by an attack that counts as sunlight is increased by 3 before calculating the effects of the damage. If this character is exposed to normal sunlight they lose 1 SP each hour. Cloud cover or other such weather halves the rate of SP loss. The character must spend an hour in a dark place before they can remove levels of fatigue/regain SP lost in this manner. Dawn-Cursed (3): While in direct sunlight, the character suffers 3 damage per round which ignores all damage miti- gation. If the character covers themselves completely with clothing and a hood with sufficient coverage, this damage is reduced to 3 per hour in the sunlight.
