Complications:
Vulnerable (Daylight)- Ch'iang Shih cannot tolerate the light of day- they will immediately fall into a coma and soon die.
Vulnerable (Electricity)- It does double-damage, and lightning does triple-damage.
Weakness (Lack of Blood)- The body the vampire posseses loses a living appearance as soon as it hungers for blood, and cannot regain its appearance. As such, they usually diligently feed nightly. If the body is fully reduced to a corpse, the Ch'iang Shih is immediately expelled back to its dimensional place of origin.
Power Loss (Vampire Powers)- Ch'iang Shih cannot use any vampire powers while in human form, and they lose half their physical abilities.
Noticeable (No Shadow)- These monsters will not cast a shadow.
Responsibility (Will Not Attack the Helpless)- Ch'iang Shih will not attack those sleeping (or even pretending to be asleep), the very drunk, out cold, or unaware of their presence.
Responsibility (Bells)- Ch'iang Shih will not enter any place where they can hear bells ringing.
Disabled (Illiterate)- Only elder Ch'iang Shih can read.
Total: Abilities: 88 / Skills: 30--15 / Advantages: 11 / Powers: 144 / Defenses: 15 (270)
-These are the hopping vampires that Hsien-Ko from DarkStalkers is based off of. These are demonic energy beings that inhabit the bodies of the deceased (even skeletons) so they can walk among people- to prevent the body from decaying, they must consume the flesh of the living. These have a MOUNTAIN of text, all about their specific vulnerabilities and tendencies, like inability to attack the helpless and just how to affect them.
-Ch'iang Shih will rise the next sunset no matter HOW they died (even vaporization doesn't work!) unless the body is burned. They have a boatload of weird Immunities (can't be knocked out, etc.). They do a TON of damage and have some fairly decent Breath Weapons.
ELDER CH'IANG SHIH- PL 13 (279): ST +1, INT +1, AWA +1, PRE +1, Toughness +1 [9]
