Lens/Monsters: Vampires
Oh boy, I was dreading this one. Vampires from the Monster Manual are quite different from the ones from the Basic Set or GURPS Horror. They have a wide variety of abilities and weaknesses that require a great deal of preparation from the adventurers to slay them properly. Still, the lens that I made is slightly different from the template described in the Monster Manual. This post features the vampire lens, two sample vampire NPCs from the Monster Manual, and the weaker vampire spawn.

Elven Reverie: Half-elves do not sleep, as members of the other common races do. Instead, a half-elf meditates in a deep trance for 4 hours a day. A half-elf resting in this fashion gains the same benefit that a human does from 8 hours of sleep. While meditating, a half-elf “dreams,” though these dreams are actually mental exercises that have become reflexive through years of practice. The half-elf is still conscious and aware of his surroundings, but immobile. The human word for a half-elf’s meditation is “trance,” as in “four hours of trance,” but the half-elves themselves call this “reverie.” When a half-elf is suffering from a disease, poison, or is below 2/3 of his HP, he cannot enter this meditative state and has to sleep normally.
