    I like this, but I prefer Cthulhu with its strong-but-somehow-possible statblock that also lists as as damage “1D4 investigators (player characters) per round”.

      Absolutely. There’s a bit more drama in a mechanic that is comically unfair but still somewhat cinematic. This kind of sheet makes for a good punchline, but you would have far more fun as an ST (or a player) encountering a being with a stat block that makes a more subtle mockery of the very mechanics of the game.

      • Presence: Make a Wits + Ettiquette Dif 20 or Character must spend the failure difference in turns genuflecting and begging forgiviness is the Enochian tongue. Gain a dot of Linquistics (Enochian) if they do not have it

      • Auspex + Celerity: Perceive the full bloodline of target character, up to 100 years per success back in time. Select any sire along the line and destroy it. Target character is no longer a Vampire. Age newly mortal target accordingly.

      • Obtenebration: Eaten by your own shadow, no resistance.
