Dazh, Manann, Morr, Myrimidia, Ranald, Sigmar, Shallya, Taal / Rhya, Tor, Ulric, Ursun, Verena. If you know a Divine Lore you

Ethereal
Description: An ethereal creature is insubstantial and weightless. It can pass through solid objects, including walls and doors.
Note that this does not give any ability to see through solid objects, only pass through them. An ethereal creature partially
hidden inside an object gains a +30% bonus on Concealment Skill Tests. An ethereal creature that wishes to be is completely
silent, with no need to make Silent Move Skill Tests. An ethereal creature is also immune to normal weapons, which simply pass
through its body as if it weren’t there. Daemons, spells, other ethereal creatures and opponents armed with magic weapons may

Witchcraft
Description: You have managed to survive the perils of hedge wizardry and teach yourself more powerful techniques of magic
use. This gives you access to spells beyond Petty Magic but since you must figure out each spell on your own, your progress is
slower than that of a Magister. Witchcraft allows you to learn any spell from an Arcane Lore with a Casting Number of 15 or less,
but you must pay 200 xp for each one. You can cast these spells without having the Speak Arcane Language skill. However, you
must roll an extra d10 when casting one of these spells. This does not add into your Casting Roll but does count for the
purposes of Tzeentch’s Curse. Once you learn an Arcane Language and an Arcane Lore, you no longer have to roll the extra die.
Reference: Realms of Sorcery p128, Tome of Corruption p148.
Witch Lore
Description: You have studied one of the established witching traditions of the Old World. Like Arcane Lore or Divine Lore,
Witchery is not one talent but many. Such is the study and focus required, you can only ever know one Witch Lore Talent and
can never also know an Arcane Lore, Dark Lore or Divine Lord. Each Witch Lore is a separate magical proficiency, the speciality
noted in parenthesis. For example: Witch Lore ( Hag ) is a different talent than Witch Lore ( Ice ). If you know a Witch Lore, you
may cast spells from that lore according to the rules presented in Chapter IX: Magic and Miracles ( Realm of the Ice Queen ).
Reference: Realm of the Ice Queen p104, Shades of the Empire p60.

your new form, though you retain your own Intelligence, Will Power, Wounds, Magic and Insanity Points, as well as all of your
own skills, talents and traits. All Weapons, armour and trappings that you wear or carry are absorbed into your new form and
reappear when you regain your normal form. You can remain in your new form for as long as you wish. Changing back to your

opponent will take. As a free action, at the start of your turn each round, you may reduce the Attack Characteristic of one
opponent by 1 for 1 round. If this reduces the Attack Characteristic to 0, the opponent may not make any attacks ( standard,
charge and so on ), though he may still dodge, parry and perform any other non-attack action. In addition, Characters whose
Attacks are reduced to 0 do not count towards any advantage gained from outnumbering you.
Reference: Night’s Dark Master p104.
Blood Burst
Description: Whilst you need blood to survive, your body does not process the fluid, so once you draw forth the nutrients from
it, the excess fluid collects in pockets formed in your Undead flesh. Whenever you lose at least 1 wound from an attack, one or
more of these sacs burst, spraying gobs of old, tar-like blood at all adjacent creatures. Such creatures must succeed on Agility
Tests or take a -20% penalty to Weapon Skill and Ballistic skill Tests for 1d5 rounds.
Reference: Night’s Dark Masters p105
Blood Drain

Power Test to resist every second interval.
Call Forth Thunder

Description: Once per day as a full action you may call forth a huge and terrible storm, even from a completely blue and quiet
sky. The storm makes flying impossible and all Ballistic Skill Tests take a -10% penalty. The storm protects all Vampires within a
mile of you from sun damage. If you are killed, the storm quiets immediately. Otherwise, it lasts for a number of hours equal to
your Magic Characteristic.
Carrier

Trait, the target must also succeed on a Toughness Test or contract Scurvy Madness. At your GM’s option, other diseases can
be substituted.

their Critical Value reduced by 2, to a minimum of 1.

creatures with the Undead Trait equal to your Will Power Characteristic plus thirty at any one time.
Deathsight
Description: You can see spirits and souls that are normally invisible, as per the Lore of Death spell of the same name. This trait
functions continuously.
Defy the Dawn

Description: Your will is so strong, you can overcome even the terrible powers of the sun. If you pass a Will Power Test, you can
walk in the sun without taking any damage or penalties. You must pass another Test after each hour of exposure, at a
cumulative -10% penalty per hour spent in the sun. Failure indicates your characteristics halve, and you begin to take damage
for every minute of exposure, as normal. If this power is rolled or chosen a second time, you obtain complete immunity to
damage from the sun and you may walk in it without any consequence.
Domination
Description: You can force weak-willed mortals to obey your every command. As a full action, you may use this power on any
Human, Dwarf, elf, Halfling, Orc, Skaven, Beastmen, Goblin or similar creatures you can clearly see within 6 yards. This is an
opposed test, pitting your Fellowship against your opponent’s Will Power. This ability cannot be used in combat, as the mind is
too alert for danger. If you win the test, you gain complete control over your target and can compel him to do anything you wish (
this is a free action ). After 1d10 rounds, the victim may attempt another opposed test to break free. You may end the effect any
time as a free action. If you attack the dominated target, it’s effects immediately end.
Furious Charge
Description: Whilst charging, you attack at the precise moment to produce the most devastating effect, driving your weapon
through your opponent’s defences. If you succeed on a Weapon Skill Test that’s made as part of a Charge Action, your Damage
Total ignores your opponent’s armour.
Iron Sinews
Description: You grow to huge proportions, gaining an ungodly strength. You gain the Unstoppable Blows Trait.
Malformed
Description: Your body is twisted and grotesque, an abomination to behold. Worse, the ill advised structure of your transformed
body allows unsightly bulges to form, pressing out against the flesh until the skin thins so that it pops with a sickening wet
splatter. Just as soon as the bubo explodes, the flesh knits back together again as another bulge begins to form elsewhere.
Hard (-20%) Will Power Tests must be made to resist any Fear or Terror you cause.
Mastery Over Flesh

Description: You are naturally gifted at manipulating and controlling the flesh of the dead. When casting Curse of Vanhel, Hellish
Vigour, Raise the Dead, Re-animate or Spell of Awakening, you gain a +4 bonus on the Casting Roll. You must meet all the usual
requirements of casting the spell. This bonus also applies to Greater Necromancy (See p 128 Nights Dark Masters).
Monstrous Mass
Description: Over the ages, you have grown to huge proportions, flesh and sinew building over and over itself. As a result,
blows that would fell a normal creature are often nothing but a scratch to you. When an opponent inflicts a Critical Hit on you, he
rolls twice on WFRP Table 6-3:Critical Hits(p133) and takes the higher roll.
Natural Necromancer
Description: You can control the Undead just as Necromancers do. If you have the Dark Lore (Necromancy) Talent, you never
gain side-effects from using Necromancy Spells.
Noble Blood
Description: You can trace your legacy directly back to the Warrior-Priests of Nehekhara. The range of your command over
Undead extends to 200 yards (100 Squares).
Nehekharan Scrolls
Description: You have preserved some of the ancient lore of the Land of the Dead. Select one spell from the Lore of Necromancy
or the Lore of Death. You may now cast this spell as if it were on your list. You gain an additional spell every time you gain this
trait.
Pass for Human

Description: You can retract your claws and fangs and soften your features, enabling you to appear Human. In this form, you
lose the Frightening and Terrifying Talents if you have them. Switching back and fourth between appearing Human is a Free
Action.
Persistent Image
Description: The light of the sun has not rejected you. Your image is reflected in mirrors and any other reflective surface. You
also cast a normal shadow from the sun or any other light source..
Piercing Strike
Description: Whenever you attack with a weapon, you put the full force of your might behind the swing, delivering gruesome
injuries. If you inflict a Critical Hit, you may roll twice on WFRP Table 6-3: Critical Hits (p133) and take the lower roll..
Quickblood
Description: You are so fast you can dodge a shot fired from a pistol or snatch an arrow out of the air. You may make Dodge
Blow Tests to avoid missile attacks. You may still only dodge once per round.
Ravenous
Description: The scent of blood is enough to drive you into a mad frenzy. Gain the Frenzy Talent. You may only enter a Frenzy if
you are within 16 yards of a bleeding creature (I.e. a lightly wounded Character).
Scent Blood
Description: You have the uncanny ability to smell the blood of living creatures within 16 yards. Concealment Tests made to
hide from you automatically fail as do spells that obscure a mortal‘s presence from sight such as Pall of Darkness or Shroud of
Invisibility. You can pinpoint the presence of any living creature within range of this trait.
Silvered Blood
Description: Through some twist of magic, the argent metal already courses through your veins. Rather than weakening your
flesh, the presence of silver in your body makes you immune to it’s dreadful effects. Silvered weapons behave as normal
weapons when used on this Vampire.
Unholy Regeneration
Description: Your wounds heal at a startling rate. At the start of your turn, each round, you regain 1d5 Wounds. Wounds caused
by silvered weapons are not recovered by this trait. If you are slain, this trait ceases to function.
Walking Dead
Description: Your presence is so terrifying that your opponents flee before you. Gain the Terrifying Talent. If you already have
this talent, Characters must succeed on Challenging(-10%) Will Power Tests to resist Terror caused by you.
Waterwalker
Description: Your will is so strong that you may overcome the curse on your blood. If you make a successful Will Power Test,
you may cross running water without taking any damage or penalty. You must re-roll for each new body of water or for every
hundred yards of travel. If this power is chosen or rolled a second time, you gain complete immunity from this aspect of the
curse and may cross any body of water of any size without negative effects.
Wings
Description: A pair of leathery wings tears free from your back. Riddled with crimson veins, they are nearly impossible to
conceal-not that it matters much to you. Gain the Flier Talent. Whilst flying, your Movement Characteristic is twice your land
speed.
Wolf Form
Description: As a Half Action you may transform into a Doom Wolf. You gain the characteristics, skills, talents and traits of your
new form, though you retain your own Intelligence, Will Power, Wounds, Magic and Insanity Points as well as all of your own
skills, talents and Traits. All weapons, armour and trappings are absorbed into your new form and reappear when you regain
your normal form. You can remain in your new form for as long as you wish. Changing back to your Vampire form requires
another half action. You may use this trait as often as you wish.
