Vampire Hunter for CS 17th= Jeffery Wurst

[Pender Lumkiss]

Just looking at him you would never think he has been hunting vampires (and other things that go bump in the dark) for the last five years. He seems of normal build, and height. He is neither ugly nor attractive. His brown hair and eyes do not standout in a crowd. No Jeffery is someone you have over Saturday night to watch the Chi-Town volleyball regional match on the holo. He is the guy you introduce as uncle to your kids and cook RB steaks in the back yard on a lazy Thursday because he is just nice. Well if you asked him to unzip his familiar brown leather jacket and you would get a glimpse of who he really is... But be warned if you do you are probably a bad person.

Who are the Wurst's? Oh just your wealthy CS upper crust family dedicated to preserving the Coalition against vampires and other monsters that would threaten its very destruction. Jeffery has been put the most rigorous of training regimen both within the CS military and through his family's own special upbringing. He is driven to prove he is worthy of his family name, and is hounded by the ghosts of a time when he failed spectacularly.

Hindrances

• Driven (Major): He is constantly up against his family name or a Wurst who has done it better than he.
• Shamed (Minor): The sleepy town of Pinnacle Valley was his greatest failure. Single handedly he allowed a master vampire to take control of the town at the edge of the southern CS Lone Star boarder. The CS cleansed the town but he never forgot or forgave himself for the lives lost.
• Mild Mannered( minor): Not your average brooding vampire hunter. Jeffery has a kind face and is easy going. He is just one of the guys about as non threatening as they come.

Edges

• Brave: Those with this Edge have learned to master their fear, or have dealt with so many horrors they've become jaded. These valiant explorers add +2 to Fear checks and subtract 2 from Fear Table results (see page 124).
• Champion: Champions fight the forces of darkness (or good), adding +2 damage when attacking supernaturally evil (or good if they're evil) creatures. The bonus applies to area effect damage, ranged attacks, powers, etc.
• Streetwise: Streetwise characters add +2 to Intimidation or Persuasion rolls made to Network (see page 133) with shady or criminal elements. They also add +2 to Common Knowledge rolls pertaining to the types of disreputable activities listed above.
• Vampire Killer: Vampire Killers are +2 on Occult, Notice, and Survival checks regarding vampires.
• Elite Vampire Killer: An Elite Vampire Killer gains +2 on rolls to resist fear or mind-control effects from vampires and +2 on Networking and Research rolls to investigate and uncover the activities of vampires, their allies, and their nests.
• Beast Master x2 (size 3)
• Rich (extra commn/uncommon items) plus a C16A and CA-6ex body armor.
• Connections: CS monster hunters “Wurst family business”: Once per session, and assuming she can get in touch with them, the heroine can call on her friends for a favor. The favor depends on the nature of the contact (GM's call), but might include a loan, gear, a few allied fighters, transportation, information, or even a professional with critical skills the party doesn't have, like a hacker or scholar.
• Elan: When you spend a Benny to reroll a Trait, add +2 to the total. The bonus applies only when rerolling. It doesn't apply to damage rolls (since they're not Trait rolls), nor does it apply to Soak rolls unless you're using another Benny to reroll the Vigor check.
• I know a guy +2 to gain assistance. Once per session, the player can invoke this Edge to effectively have the Connections Edge with any person or group who shares a mutual interest or motivations (whether personally or as a group). Make a Smarts roll at −2 (or an opposed Smarts roll for powerful contacts) to see if they can be leveraged or convinced to help in any way. A failure on the check expends that session's use of the Edge. If successful, the favor depends on the nature of the contact (GM's call) but might include loaning useful gear, a few allied fighters, transportation, information, or even a professional with critical skills the party doesn't have, like a hacker, occultist, or scholar.
• Monster Slayer: When confronted with a supernatural opponent, Monster Slayers may take an action to roll Occult to identify a foe, its characteristics, and common tactics. The GM may impose penalties for uncommon or unique beings. If successful, the Monster Slayer has identified the foe, the GM reveals the being's weaknesses (if any) and the Monster Slayer's advice grants allies a +1 bonus to Trait rolls versus such creatures until the end of the encounter. On a raise, the target's special abilities of note (if any) are revealed, and the bonus to Trait rolls is increased to +2.
• Woodsman: Woodsmen add +2 to Survival rolls, and Stealth rolls made in the wild (not towns, ruins, or underground).
• Close Quarters Battle: Skilled at maneuvering the long barrel of your weapon, you can fire into melee combat with a submachine gun, rifle, or shotgun. Otherwise, this follows the rules for using Ranged Weapons in Melee and Firing into Melee (see Situational Rules in Savage Worlds).
• Improved Close Quarter’s battle: The Innocent Bystander rule only applies if the character rolls a critical failure when Firing into Melee (see Savage Worlds). He also gets a +1 to Shooting when engaged in CQB.
• Take e’m down: Rifts Earth is full of big mean enemies of all kinds whether they be tanks, dragons, or Techno-Wizardry automatons. When attacking targets 1 or more Sizes larger than the hero, he adds +4 to the AP value of his weapons.
• Arcane Resistance: Arcane skills targeting the hero suffer a −2 penalty (even if cast by allies!) and magical damage is reduced by 2 as well.
• Improved Arcane Resistance: As above, but the penalty to the arcane skill roll and damage are increased to 4.
• Soldier: Professional soldiers get used to carrying heavy loads, and enduring harsh conditions. After a few days getting used to their gear (GM's call), they treat their Strength as one die type higher when determining Encumbrance (page 67) and Minimum Strength to use armor, weapons, and equipment without a penalty (page 66). (This stacks with the Brawny Edge.) They also get a free reroll on Vigor rolls made to survive environmental hazards (see Hazards, page 125).
• Scholar (occult): Pick any one of the following skills: Academics, Battle, Occult, Science, or a Smarts-based “knowledge”-type skill allowed in your setting, and add +2 to the total whenever they're used.
