Miscellanea
- Has a +2 bonus to hearing and smell/taste-based Perception rolls (+4 when involving blood) (Vampire)
- Takes only one-fifth damage from bullets (Vampire)
- Uses consumed blood to heal injuries; also recovers 6 LP a day (Vampiric Regeneration, 2-pt version)
- Is vulnerable to sunlight, holy symbols*, stakes through the heart*, and beheading. (Vampire)
(*Ellis is only vulnerable to holy symbols wielded by those of genuine faith; stakes through the heart immobilize Ellis but do not kill him. This increases the cost of his Vampire quality by one point, to 16.)
- Receives -1 penalty to Willpower rolls to resist fear or losing his temper, or otherwise letting his emotions rule. (Artist)
- Has a a bonus of +1 on Willpower Tests to resist fear, neatly canceling out the fear bit above. (Due to Fast Reaction)
- Is immune to fear except when confronting the strangest supernatural manifestations, and gains a +4 bonus to rolls even then– making most of the 'fear' bits above irrelevant anyway. (Nerves of Steel)
- Has a bonus for Initiative purposes (+5 if using dice to 'roll for initiative'), modified by common sense (Fast Reaction).
- Has a +4 bonus to Survival Tests (Hard to Kill).
- Has 4 points of Armor Value against blunt attacks (Natural Toughness).
- Gains a +2 bonus to any Perception-based roll to sense trouble or danger in the immediate surroundings; this bonus also applies to resisting any Crime or Acrobatics rolls made to sneak up on him (Situational Awareness).
- Has a +2 to Consciousness Tests (Pain Resistance).
Equipment
Carries on his person at most times:
- Several knives: specifically 1) his 'default' pocketknife, usually a Harpy; 2) a throwing dagger; 3) a Swiss Army style “tool” pocketknife; 4) and a crude but sharp knife of wrought iron
- 2-3 guitar strings or piano wires, in small coils. One of these is usually in his hatband
- A steel-reinforced stake made of ironwood
- A crucifix, made of silver, worn on a necklace of beads
- A silver cigarette case
- A silver Zippo lighter
- Cellular phone
- Wallet
- Either a wrist- or pocketwatch– he owns several of both
- A harmonica, made of silver, and a case for the harmonica
- A handkerchief
- A small vial, given by the Lady, that will instantly heal all injuries upon consumption– one use only
If going into light-to-moderate battle, Ellis may supplement these with:
- A hand axe (qualifies as small axe) or a machete
- More throwing daggers, possibly another back-up knife
- A handgun, most often a Ruger .45
If expecting heavy battle, Ellis's preferred gear is:
- Police-standard body armor over torso
- An AK-47
- A chainsaw
- A string of hand grenades…..
- ….and this is why we can't have nice things, Ellis.
- (Ahem. Ellis engages in what he'd qualify as 'heavy' combat about once every 3-4 years.)
Found in the field:
- Tactical Vest [Armor Value 4]
- Serrated Knife (2 x Str damage, can decapitate grappled opponents)
- Holdout Pistol (12 bullet damage, 6/6 shots, .38)
- Bolt-action Rifle (20 bullet damage, scope adds +5 to aim at distant targets)
- 1 box of 10 rifle bullets
- 1 box of 20 .38 bullets
Gotta Crush 'Em All
Aside from the normal equipment carried, Ellis also has the following:
- Backpack: Black and purple, stores items without adding significantly to weight.
- Trainer's Card: Has Ellis's picture, first name, and a unique series of numbers. Authorizes basic access to Pokemon-related stores in Kyrael, has a section for certifications.
- Pocket Pidgey: A small handgun with a very long barrel. Extremely high range for a pistol (use rifle ranges), 12 damage, holds 12 shots plus one in the chamber, decorated with a pair of stylized Pidgeys on the stock and wavy lines along the barrel.
- Pokeballs x 5.
- Revive Spray: Wakes up a fainted Pokemon or unconscious person, and restores roughly 25% of max LP (or LP lost, if greater). One canister is good for three uses.
- First Aid Spray: Soothes wounds and restores a person or Pokemon to fighting shape. One canister is good for five ten-second sprays. Restores 10% of max / lost LP, if a full ten second spray is used.
Aurelian Vampire Party Favours
Wee brass charm depicting a tiny cake with four gemstones set in the candles, inscribed: William's birthday, 1884
A toy crossbow that shoots soft bolts, won at the Ring Toss
A tiny, intricate, metal puzzle box, roughly 3“ cubed. When properly worked, it opens to reveal a minuscule metal hummingbird with workable wings and tiny, gemstone eyes
A silver chain which may be worn around one's neck. Affixed to the chain is a coin, which has been severed in half. The coin seems to be a very old one. This seemingly interesting little curio is actually a charmed artifact. The artifact will grow warm when the possessor of the other half is in danger.

Ellis's pack contains the following cards: Sphynx (common), Common Guttersnipe (common), Gerflesh (rare), Snib (common), Greater Match (rare), Werewolf (common), Tree Faerie (common), Grudge (rare)
