Vigor

Vigor allows Kindred to strike opponents with the force of a falling boulder, rend metal, or to lift enormous weights as though they were paper; to shatter stone like glass; and to leap distances and heights so great that Kindred elders with obscenely high and well evolved levels of Vigor may, in fact, be responsible for the legends of vampiric flight.

By spending Vitae a vampire can energize her dead muscles, giving her a brief but substantial burst of strength. Gain +1 Enhancement (Scale: Vampire) per dot of Vigor on Skills using Might while active (see Vampire Scale House Rule).
This puts enormous strain on weapons, especially those not intended for heavy hitting. Improvised weapons are easily be damaged or broken.
Lift and hurl objects normally far too unwieldy to use as weapons, such as boulders, cars, and other people. Any object she can lift, can be used as an improvised melee or throwing weapon.

Vampire Scale House Rule

To capture the granular bonuses of Vampire the Requiem we will use a special Vampire Scale for Physical Intensity, Frenzy and physical Disciplines. This Vampire Scale allows bonuses from different Vampire sources to stack. The total Enhancements are determined first and the Scale second by referencing the Vampire Scale chart.


Enhancement from Scale tops out at +10e (Scale 5) for most characters. Scale beyond this is reserved for Epic entities of an otherworldly nature and possible Elder Kindred.
