well, in the RP rules, they could burn a karma to keep one essence.

*shrug* go figure.

Yeah, it's one essence per day, and that essence isn't necessarily from "blood." You won't find a vampire breaking into a blood bank to steal packets of blood, they need to steal life force from a living thing through an emotional connection.

Other than that, however, Vampires are nasty critters. Nanotech might help them but in the end, the massive bonuses from Improved Attributes makes them scary enough.

*nods* one reason i liked using them in the little FF kinda game, most the vamps they were against were new licks, kinda like the runner who just got a beta body ad thinks he's hottest on the streets only to find he is as hot as liquid oxygen.

Biggest threat was one who had Cybered parts using Cybernecromancy, figured it out not to long after i got the cybertech book, helped counter the rejection with-out all the problems, at least, some of them. They found a vamp with a move by wire system is a really nasty thing, till you nail one on the back with a sledge and mess the system up, then.. well, fave joke from a comic..

"Whats white, and goes Snap, Crackle, Pop?"
Your collarbone!

figured with all the strength, (normal vamp and cybered junk) the seizures were enough to make them crack their own bones. Runners didnt off him, ended up selling him to highest bidding corp for research.. Good idea, though if had been able to continue the Game they might have gone.. "damn... maybe that wasnt a good idea"

Err... Never read the Cybertechnology book.  Unless you're talking about Cybermancy, and getting negative essence, but keep in mind that most of a vampire's power comes from essence. What keeps the regeneration from kicking in? Most of my knowledge comes from 3rd edition.

Yea, my understanding was that as soon as you cut the meat to put the chrome in, it would heal up.

you might be able to get some custom cultured vampire bioware worked in there with some gene thearipy.

i dont know much of the 3rd edit, and only little of second.. lotta this i worked on my own.

their ability to get "extra" essence allowed them to get a good bit of cyber, but they had to keep a constant amount of essence in order to cover the drain, once they lost to much they would lose the lowest costing peice of cyberware matching the amount they were short via bio rejection.

They were able to "force" their bodies to accept the cyberware, the regeneration suffered a bit, their bodies didnt heal as fast, and the materials cost alot to get ones that the body wouldnt reject as easy so to speak. used majorly modified version of cybermancy to retard the healing and force the body to work with the parts, also left them a little "Cranky" from aches and pains, body wanting to do what it wasnt allowed to, and also made them use essence faster then normal (each day basicly used 1 essence to keep going each day, like this they used 1 plus .5 per each peice of ware, rounded up, so 3 peices of ware ment they were paying 3 essence each day to keep going)

in short, it was messy, left them very twitchy, and VERY hungry. made for decent threat that city or other would pay runners to clean up.
