New Merits and Flaws
Some of the Predator Types described above
reference new Merits and Flaws. Those are
presented here for your use. They can be taken at
character creation like any other Merits and Flaws,
but the Predator Type in which they are first
mentioned is where they feature most prominently.

Reanimated Emotions (Merit)


You are especially attuned to the resonance in your
vitae. Your Frenzy checks are altered depending
on your current resonance:
• Choleric. You gain a 2­dice bonus to
Hunger Frenzy checks, but suffer a 1­die
penalty to Fury Frenzy checks.
• Melancholic. You gain a 2­dice bonus to
Fury Frenzy checks, but suffer a 1­die
penalty to Terror Frenzy checks.
• Phlegmatic. You gain a 1­die bonus to all
Frenzy checks, but suffer a 1­die penalty to
Social tests that do not use Composure.
• Sanguine. You gain a 2­dice bonus to
Terror Frenzy checks, but suffer a 1­die
penalty to Hunger Frenzy checks.

Dependent (Flaw)
You rely on a single mortal for all your blood. If
you feed on any mortal other than your chosen
blood doll, you take a Stain. If your blood doll dies
from something other than your Embrace, you
take two additional Stains. While you do not have
a blood doll, you do not take stains for feeding
from other mortals.

Intermittent Fasting (Flaw)


You strive to feed no more than once per night so
as to limit the burden you impose on the world. If
you feed more than once on a given night, you take
a Stain.

Light Stomach (Flaw)


Your undead body has become accustomed to the
lightest of meals and cannot abide gluttonous
slurping. If you slake more than one Hunger per
scene, your body vomits it up, causing you to make
Rouse Checks equal to the amount of Hunger you
slaked in the scene. You can spend a point of
Willpower to delay this violent expulsion by one
turn per Willpower, but it is ultimately inevitable.
