Death Perfected - The Path of the Graveborn | Necromancy

To live as a vampire is to deny one’s mortality, holding onto life by drinking the blood of the living. By wrapping yourself in energies from the Shadowlands, you transcend the vampiric state and fully embrace the inevitability of death and the power it brings. To confront you is to oppose mortality itself, a terrifying ordeal even for the so-called Undead. This transformation is a dramatic one as you emerge as an unrelenting force of entropy that is devoid of life.

Cost

1 Blood

Focus

Appearance

Whenever you spend a point of Willpower to retest a challenge, you gain a +2 bonus to your trait pool for that retest attempt.

System

Spend 1 Blood and a simple action to channel necromantic energies throughout your body, flooding you with the power of entropy and transforming you into an unmistakable yet undeniably powerful figure of perfect death.

In this form, the finality and single-mindedness of death drives your actions and purpose making you much harder to control or influence. You may substitute your Physical attribute for your Mental or Social attribute when defending against Mental or Social challenges. You also have the ability to stoke the necrotic energies to restore your form. Whenever you spend a point of Willpower to retest a challenge, you may immediately heal up to 3 health levels, normal or aggravated. This ability does not require an action to activate and can be activated during Celerity rounds and outside of your turn in the initiative order. You must spend Willpower to gain this benefit; abilities that allow you to forego the actual spending of Willpower such as Clear Sighted or Iron Will cannot be used in conjunction with this ability.
