SPECIAL ABILITIES

Human Appearance (Ex)

Vishkanyas gain a +5 racial bonus on Disguise checks to appear human, and treat Disguise checks made to change their appearance from vishkanya to human as if they were altering minor details only. A vishkanya can disguise themselves in this manner as a standard action, and takes no penalties for not having a disguise kit when doing so.

Toxic Ichor (Ex)

Vishkanya saliva and blood is incredibly toxic, and as a swift action they can produce a dose of poison from their saliva or, if they have taken 1 or more hit points of damage, from their blood. As a swift action, vishkanyas can apply their toxic saliva or blood to a weapon they wield (using blood requires the vishkanya to be injured when using this ability). (Armor or spacesuits custom fit to vishkanya are designed to allow this.) They can apply their saliva or blood directly to their hand (or another part of their bodies, such as their lips) and make a melee attack against an opponent with it. The venom loses its potency after 1 hour, and vishkanyas are immune to their own poison. Vishkanyas can use this ability once per day.

ECOLOGY

Environment any
Organization solitary, pair, gang (3-6), or pack (7-12)

Vampires are among the most feared of all undead creatures. They feed on the living essence of creatures by drinking their blood.

These humanoid undead appear much as they did in life. However, their bodies are pale from being away from sunlight. The face of a vampire often has a feral, predatory look. Most vampires try to conceal their undead nature by assuming the guise of handsome aristocrats; which enables them to more easily feed upon an unsuspecting population of living humanoids.

Vishkanya Poison

Type poison (contact or injury); Save Fortitude DC 16

Track Dexterity; Onset 1/round for 6 rounds

Cure 1 save

Master vampires will seek out powerful and skilled mortal soldiers to transform and enslave as vampires; using their new progeny as guardians against mortals or rival undead.
