Vampire Slayers

Whispers from the Underverse

Vampire Slayers

t the dawn of mankind, evil spread its grasping claw across the land, jealous of the dominion that man had risen from the ground. Where good faltered, its presence was supplanted by evils arriving birth. Were it a rotten apple falling into and spoiling a lake, or a scarecrow assuming the ghastly embodiment of a darkness bent on displaying horrific visions, evil found its way into this earth. Many atrocities sprang from the darkness, creeping and ravishing across the land in a terrifying wake. Many individuals succumbed to their desires by manifesting their will within the shadow of the creeping evil. Among those who sought power behind hooded veil and between the fullest moons are the undead monstrosities known as Vampires. Nigh on invincible, these depraved beings preyed upon townsfolk and sundered entire lineages of man built up by stone and blessed by gods. In order to battle this undead threat, a hero was called upon. Van Helsing, as if destined, laid waste to these condemned. In his stead, many more brave souls have come forth to rid the land of evil. These fearless individuals have come to be known as slayers.

powers that even the greatest evils themselves seek to harness, tempering out the baneful energies, distilling only the sheer force of retribution, which they then arbitrate against any evil with whom they enjoin in battle. Any spellcaster in the warband attempting to cast a direct damage spell against an enemy that is either Undead or Chaotic may increase the casting attempt by +1. Path of Righteousness If in the employ of a Krsnik, the Vampire Slayers warband walks the path of righteousness, bringing with them the conviction of a radiant dawn upon even the darkest evil. Members of the warband are strengthened in their resolve against their enemy, and have a 6+ unmodifiable save which may be taken in addition to other saves against any spell cast by an Undead or Chaotic opponent.

Vampire Slayers Special Skill Lists

Dhampyr Special Skills The Dhampyr also has access to the following skill list. Regeneration: The Dhampyr possesses a great constitution, readily capable to metabolize and grow skin, sinew, and bone, redressing injury with body anew. During the Recovery Phase, the vampire may roll a D6, and on a 4+, regains a wound lost earlier. Surreal Agility: The Dhampyr moves with unreal Undead speed, darting past arrows and ducking beneath sword strokes. He gains a 6+ save which may be taken after an opponent scores a ranged or melee hit. This may be combined with Step Aside and Dodge to be increased to a 4+ save in either respective case. Phantom Surge: This being may morph as quicksilver into a vaporous mist and surge forth through walls and obstacles. If the Dhampyr passes a Leadership test in the Movement Phase, he may move 12 in any direction through any obstacle, and counts as charging if he comes into base contact with an enemy model. Kin Hatred: Being born of a mortal woman, the Dhampyr hates his vampiric relatives, and has the hate special rule when fighting against Undead. Blood Frenzy: If the Dhampyr fells an opponent, taking them out of action, he may choose to enter an enraged state, and has the frenzy special rule for the remainder of the battle. The 4

Dhampyr may still opt to use the Phantom Surge skill as a means of movement or charging while frenzied. Krsnik Special Skills The Krsnik also has access to the following skill list. Spirit Projection: The Krsnik projects his spirit form to attack an enemy. If the Krsnik passes a Leadership test in the Shooting Phase, he may elect an enemy model within 12 (either model may be in combat). The Krsniks spirit form leaps out, charging the declared enemy, and makes one attack at +1 WS and +1 S of the Krsnik. The spirit form attacks last and is invulnerable, lasting only for this round of combat, though may be called on again. Using this skill does not prevent the Krsnik from shooting, casting spells or making any other action during the same turn. Spirit Form: The Krsnik may transform into his spirit form. The Krsnik may elect to transform into his spirit form if he passes a Leadership test during his Recovery Phase. In his spirit form, he causes fear, and gains +1 M, +1 WS, +1 S, +1 T, +1 W, +1 A, and +1 I, which may bring him over his profile maximums. He may not cast spells or use any equipment, including armour, while in his spirit form. His attacks count as bladed weapons for the purposes of determining critical hits. He may revert back to his human form during any subsequent Recovery Phase. He must choose one of the following spirit forms to be his. Wolf Spirit The save afforded by the skills, Step Aside and Dodge is increased to a 4+ save for the Krsnik while in spirit form. Bear Spirit The Krsnik may select the Resilient skill when taking a skill advance. Resilient would be in effect only while in spirit form. Lion Spirit The Krsnik may select the Mighty Blow skill when taking a skill advance. Mighty Blow would be in effect only while in spirit form.

Noble Hate: The Krsnik develops his hatred towards Undead and Chaotic spawn into an unerring sense of justice. He now has the hate special rule when in combat with Undead or Chaotic opponents.
