There is also a game-balance issue to be thought about. Vampires HAVE to have counters to their powers and abilities. If not, you have uber-NPC's running around and actually interacting with the PC's.

well, not like there's any shortage of that if you want it anyways.

how about a polymorphing dragon as a companion?

Agh! Need I reiterate the horrors of allowing a PC to be a shapeshifter?

"Moderate"

Yea. I don't let my PC's play Vampires, ghouls, shape-shifters, or any other critters.

they'd have to beg and plead and have a really good dahm'd reason for even talking me into playing a meta variant cyclops, goblin, or soforth.

well, for an uber monster they handled it fairly well.

Frontal assault didnt work well so they wore him down by keeping him from feeding, wouldnt actually attack but do all they can to stop it from getting a meal, and damaging some of its cyberware. essence drained so fast that it had to dump a portion of its parts, then went after it when it was weak (well, compaired to how it was before)

They handled it fairly well, though to keep it from getting essnce they split into groups and some figured "acceptable losses" when it was just bout to put its fangs into someone.

It was strong, but it made them work together, plan, coordinate, and something i like to see THINK, but hey, im just weird like that i guess.

while possible a shape shifter would have to be cracked to have cyber ware considering the major hits they take on essense lost

No, he's talking about a vampire, not a shapeshifter. I was talking about the shapeshifter.

My GM had me roll for SURGE.  I was playing a physad, so I had a full 6 points of essence and nailed the roll.  Then, he had me roll to find out how many points worth of SURGE I'd take.  I roled 6's for both edges and flaws and he let me roll again.  He then had me a choice of selecting her SURGE effects or rolling for them.  I decided to roll.

End result, my Elven adept gained: Thermographic vision, retractible claws, high & low freqency hearing, a bony ridge on her forhead, blue skin, blue fur, a sensitive system, blue-on-blue eyes(Think Dune), and a vestigial tail.

As far as I know, I'm the only character in the party who was affected by SURGE.
