    Fangs (14): thrust 1d-1 impaling (KYOS: 1d impaling), Reach C.
    Blood Drain: The rast can drain the victim’s life if the victim is helpless (pinned, stunned, unconscious, etc.), grappled, or willing. If he is wearing armor, the rast’s biting damage must penetrate its DR. Once the rast has bitten through the victim’s DR, it can drain 1 HP per second from him. For every 3 HP stolen, the rast heals 1 HP or 1 FP (its choice). It cannot raise its HP or FP above normal this way.
    Sharp Claws (14): thrust 1d-1 cutting (KYOS: 1d cutting), Reach C.
    Paralyzing Gaze (10): The rast can lock eyes with his victim and attempt to paralyze him. Roll a Quick Contest of the rast’s Will against the victim’s HT (apply normal range penalties). If the rast wins, the victim becomes paralyzed for 6 seconds per point of rast’s margin of victory.
