The masquerade of murder returns! A new game of Vampires Amongst Us has begun. Unmask the killers, trust no one, and try to survive the night. Find out more and sign up now!
Anyway chaps. I have been on the forum all night and I am getting the evil stare off the missus. I will leave it until tomorrow which will give others time to post up their new bios as well, then I will update with Lesa & Milosh etc.
ok I've turned down Graveclaw's toughness to 8 and his strength to 9 however Graveclaw should be tough enough to take anything any one member of the council can throw at him due to his hate.
BTW DoN could Graveclaw be immune to Lesa's "I'm sexy Aura" I just can't picture Graveclaw expressing attraction to a vampire outside of Rape, and that is something I'd rather not think about.

If a bloodthrister, a pure being of rage and hate, could be attracted to Lesa as well as a mindless zombie, I think Graveclaw can to.
Yeah the whole Bloodthirster being attracted to Lesa is just silly a Bloodthirster is rage incarnate the feel nothing but a Berserk fury all the time their angry and nothing but angry all the time.
a zombie make some sense as in that they were capable of such feelings before they died.

Well that's how the ability works. I think DoN himself admitted it was overpowered. Well regardless if it's any consulation, it does not show up much.
Actually I'd think the opposite lol
At least a bloodthirster can feel something
A mindless zombie can feel about as much as my boots, they're mindless thus no emotions at all

Lesa's secretly a Slaneeshi!
All the perversion suddenly makes sense!!!
Quickly! Burn the heretics...
*remembers they're all Dhar-Powered, blood sucking, offenses against nature
Erm never mind!
Only joking!

Yeah, the whole making a bloodthirster stop and stare through power of sheer sexiness is kind of weird...also, would anyone have a problem with Njal having a big wolf as a mount? It's seeming like Njal is a bit...lackluster compared to a lot of other characters.
I've always thought that Khorne had a thing for rape, with all the blood imagery and such. Looking at it that way I could totally see a Bloodthirster go for Lesa.
It might be a little messy, though.

+1 to dispel cos of Skullstaff....I hope...you'd keep your Skullstaff around like any good Necrarch now wouldn't you?
Wow look what I come back from regimental duty to find...the perfect opportunity for the revamp I've been wanting to do for some time now. BTW I hope my character(s) isn't the one guilty of god-modding and OOC-ness as mentioned.
I’m not going to say who was and who wasn’t. I am sure that all of us will tone down a bit anyway, and if anyone does start doing it again I will have words. Anyway its fun to make you all paranoid whether you’re doing it or not
In regards to Lesa’s aura, its been that way since the start of the TVC. However don’t forget that it is magical in nature, so in the same way the Siren’s Song can affect a Bloodthirster so can her aura. However against such strong willed creatures such as a Vampire Lord / Bloodthirster etc, it would most probably only cause a momentary distraction nothing more. It is only against weak willed characters that is properly takes over their minds. So no, no exceptions.
Ghouly, the lowering of your stats are fine now. Cheers for doing that.
I am reviewing the new signups now. I am concerned that most characters are quite powerful, with few stats being lower than the average vampire lord to balance it. Therefore you should all be warned that I will be asking some of the stats to be lowered. I will post up my comments in a moment.

Not sure if we need to post when we edit our bios at this stage but:
I went over Karl and V'azrin about five or ten minutes ago and dropped one or two stats on each.
Speed I think for V'azrin
Magical Strength and Bastilla skill for Karl
I think they where the ones anyway

Actually, a lot of Todd's current stats are relative to what the others have posted before me. I'll be waiting for any pertinent comments, DoN
Ok, so here are my comments on the current signups. Please note that some I said are ok need adjusting slightly.
Firstly, I know some of you might not want to, but I want all the bios in the correct format please. That means as per the first post, in the order they are in. If you don’t have time straight away I understand, however I would expect you all to come back and put them in the correct formatting when you have time. Others have made the effort, so I expect all to do it.
Simon & Mircea. Please can you adjust your WS to 7. WS5 is average for a vampire lord, so 7 would should the extremes your characters have trained to.
Vrakian – Should be basic Toughness 8. 9 in brackets afterwards for his regen which can be negated by fire etc. Other than that he is fine.
Serpino – I am going to have to come back to him shortly, as I need to look at him in more detail. I am concerned firstly about the amount of abilities coupled with being a powerful spell caster. I am also concerned that you would also control three very powerful characters.
Draithon – Firstly, whilst the extra fluff about his castle is superb, could it be kept in the relevant other threads or it really enlarges the bio thread. Also can please change your bio as per the correct layout. As for his stats. His speed as a vampire DE I would have thought it to be a 6, being a little faster than a normal vamp. Other than that his stats look fine. Poison skill is fine as well. Also whilst I understand why you wrote it, the last part about the “awesome syndrome†seems to be a bit of a rant and perhaps not needed…..
Muller: Is there a reason why he is so much more agile than a vampire lord? I know he is powerful and tough in wolf form but I can’t see a valid reason why he is so much more agile. His Ballistic Skill, can he still shoot in wolf form, if not that should be a 0.
I am prepared to agree on the strength, but not on the toughness. His regen is an ability and as such should be negated by fire attacks etc. I think a basic toughness of 7 with 8 n brackets with the regen should be fine.
Quezalat: Again, please make sure your bio is laid out as per the first post. His WS should be 8. It still shows he is highly skilled but only the likes of Walach / the Duke are 9 and the only character at 10 is Vekarin. Strength is far too high. Again you should remember that a vampire lord is 5. I appreciate he is older and has vampire blood in him, however Blood Dragons do not gain an increase in S normally unlike Strigoi. 7 should be high enough.His toughness is fine at 7. So realistically a WS8, S7, T7 character is more than strong enough.
Valda: His Weapon Skill with the sword should be max 9. Im not sure why his agility is so high, and what item increase even higher to 8? Raw strength and toughness, again I’m not sure why they are so high? I can understand due to his age and training he could be S6, T6 (similar to Vekarin), but not higher. I would up Valda’s technique S to 9, as I know he is very skilled in such ways being trained by the Supreme. Finally his tactical skill should be 9. Only Mircea has 10 as he is accepted as the one of the best generals in the world.
Huakroataxa: I can’t see why his agility goes up against the undead? His S should be 6 which is still very strong. I am prepared for his toughness to be 6, however he should have one set toughness against the undead which I would agree to be 8 with his armour and necklace.
The Blade of Purging needs toning down as it states that anything hit by it bursts into flames. I think this it should just flaming attacks and then anything killed by it is reduced to ashes.
Todd – Assuming the second stats in brackets afterwards are his “Beast Within†stats he looks fine.

Yay, okayed on first go! And yes, the bracketed stats are his 'Beast Within' stats.
BTW GoW, FYI you don't have to write Karl off yet. We can always arrange him getting his forearms back later.

Will do.

Alright, I await your judgements. If you have questions I would be happy to cooperate. I honestly tired to rein in him and make much of his powers highly situational.

Well, for one thing he isnt wearing any armour (however, I should put another agility in brackets for when he is wearing armour).
Moreover, in your description of the Agility skill you cited "How good the character can scale walls, jump around" I just assumed that he would be very good at such things. A normal wolf can jump a 6 foot fence with without any kind of running start up.
Would a 6 be better?
I dont see why he couldnt shoot something...his fingers might be a bit big for most firearms, but he would be capable of opperating them.
Alrighty. However, should the Armour of the Moon Chaser combined with The Muzzle (which protects his neck and face) increase his toughness?
I was also going to introduce 2 more charachters, should I edit my original post to add them in or just post again?
I would like to say though, that I'm now severely concerned about Mullers ability to deal with anything...
DoN, I hope you don't mind that I took the liberty of indexing all of the character entries in the new sign-up thread? I've listed the name of the characters, their owners and then linked it to the relevant post number.
Edit: It'll open up a new tab but you will still be able to scroll up and down the thread from there.

So just so I'm clear DoN you want us to go back and fill in all those sections you put in the new Bios.

I wasn't sure which is why I asked the question. I saw him more of a heavy creature, plus bearing in mind that 5 is the standard for a vampire lord. I would say a 6 would be better unless he is quite agile and can dodge blows as well etc. It would still make him quite fast.
Again I wasn't sure which is why I asked. I thought he transformed fully into a beast with huge claws that would find it difficult to use firearms. If he can still use them then 3 is ok.
I think 8 with his abilites is more than tough enough. Bar the Strigois he will be one of the toughest characters and most normal attacks won't even bother him.
Personally I think it would be good to edit in them into your existing post so all your characters are kept together.
Why? He is fast, agile, hits hard and can take a lot of punishment.

Not at all. It looks good and is very helpful. Cheers for doing that MS

If you missed a section and it should be filled in then yes please. If obviously you don't have for example any equipment then you can just put none in that area.
DoN said:
I conceed on the agility and the Strength/Toughness. I do object to the tactical knowledge not being 10 though. If you're putting the entire tactical knowledge purely on the basis of military tactics then yes, I'll conceed but if we're talking in terms of the other applications of the word 'tactics' then Valda, and by association others, should be very high. I have edited it to 9 for now, but I think some sort of questioning of the term is needed.
It was purely military tactics. I can see where the confusion came from, because if it came to long term plans and playing others then Valda would probably be a 12!
