Kill It With Fire “Don't mistake the fact that we haven't set you on fire in your sleep for trust.” — Damon Salvatore, The Vampire Diaries

Requires Seasoned
You possess the ability to come back to life.
Created by ExampleRobot.
(While "dead," you appear to be hanging onto life when investigated. )

The Vampire has further succumbed to their true demonic self, and cannot be killed by traditional mortal weaponry. They can only be truly destroyed through fire or decapitation. However, the ancient magics restricting vampires have begun to impede them; the Vampire cannot enter a home unless they were first invited in.


You gain the following benefits at all times.

If you would take an Injury that would kill you, you don’t die. Instead, you survive in an Incapacitated state. This state lasts for the next hour, at which point you fully return to life.

While Incapacitated, your only weakness is either fire or decapitation, and if you take damage from it, you will die. Damage from other sources will still be dealt and can cause Battle Scars, but will never kill you. If your weakness is not immediately intuitive or obvious, attackers may be able to make some sort of knowledge roll to discover it, at GMs discretion. After you return, the Injury that would have killed you, as well as any Injuries sustained while Incapacitated, are healed. Battle scars obtained during this time remain.

Possession of this Power grants the following Trauma at all times: You cannot enter a home without being invited in.
