Rules for Vampires: The irresistibly spooky Halloween treat!

Product Information

Mum is preparing to leave for an important Vampiric Council meeting and tells Leo that no Motteberg has ever failed their first bite and she doesn’t believe Leo will either. So no pressure! Enhanced Strength - The ability to exhibit strength beyond a normal member of the user's species. The afflicted are easily able to rip out a human's throat to drink their blood. [5] The Nevermoor series meets Hotel Transylvania in this dazzling debut middle grade adventure set in a world of talking spiders, living forests, and haunted castles about a vampire girl who wants to fit in but first must defeat an evil ghost. Leo’s eyes felt hot. The electric charge in the air dissipated, as did the phantom sound of wings. Left behind was a heavy feeling in the pit of her stomach. While in mist form, the vampire can’t take any actions, speak, or manipulate objects. It is weightless, has a flying speed of 20 feet, can hover, and can enter a hostile creature’s space and stop there. In addition, if air can pass through a space, the mist can do so without squeezing, and it can’t pass through water. It has advantage on Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution saving throws, and it is immune to all nonmagical damage, except the damage it takes from sunlight.

Higher Beings - The afficated cannot hurt or kill higher beings, such as Demons, Angels, The Anti-Christ and Deities.You see, Leo is a vampire, her mother the most evil vampire around, and Minna is a ghost. Minna pops up in shiny things to talk to Leo when she's in her room, or even visits Castle Motteburg when no one else is around. Vampires and ghosts are actually supposed to be sworn enemies, so they keep things very low key. If Leo's mum found out, Leo would be mere dust in seconds. A vampire and a ghost being friends is unheard of. It makes no sense. The two factions have despised one another for all eternity. But . . . Leo the vampire and Minna the ghost have battled together side-by-side, they're sisters-in-arms, they're best friends, and they'll have to work together to vanquish a new, deadly threat.

That there are 7 nights, well, OK, less than that, but you will have to read the whys and hows in the book. I really loved that there was a time limit, it made things a tad more dangerous and exciting! While in bat form, the vampire can’t speak, its walking speed is 5 feet, and it has a flying speed of 30 feet. Its statistics, other than its size and speed, are unchanged. Anything it is wearing transforms with it, but nothing it is carrying does. It reverts to its true form if it dies. He can do all these things, yet he is not free. Nay, he is even more prisoner than the slave of the galley, than the madman in his cell. He cannot go where he lists, he who is not of nature has yet to obey some of nature's laws, why we know not. He may not enter anywhere at the first, unless there be some one of the household who bid him to come, though afterwards he can come as he please. His power ceases, as does that of all evil things, at the coming of the day. Physical Trauma - Physical injuries will cause the afflicted pain and, if severe enough, death. Due to their superiority over humans in strength, speed and senses, it is best for a human to attempt to kill an afflicted by using the tactic of surprise against them; although Elizabeth could have easily killed John Lowe, she did not expect to be greeted by him in her suite's elevator and was shot to death before she could properly defend herself. [3] [4] [5] [8] [10] can, when once he find his way, come out from anything or into anything, no matter how close it be bound or even fused up with fire"Leo lives with her mum, dad, little/big sister (I’ll explain that in a moment), and Marged – her nanny who Leo much prefers to call her butler. Mum is an ancient vampire and terrifying, even to her family, and is high up in the Vampiric Council. Dad is a scientist and prolific reader, quite happy pottering about Castle Motteberg perfectly fine in his own company. Little/big sister Emmeline is an older vampire than Leo, but just happens to be in a two year old body. Her and Leo have a continuing feud where Leo pranks Emmeline and she replies with a fury that rivals a hurricane.
