Vampire: Midas

The Midas bloodline gets their power from the greed of their victims. They tend to be exotic merchants specializing in rare goods that are hard to come by and collectibles. While they can feed off base greed, what they truly want the most are the souls of their customers.

General Vampire Traits

All vampires are supernaturally strong, perceptive, and natural hunters. They have a Blood Pool they use to heal themselves and power various abilities. Additionally each bloodline has its own specific traits, which can be learned by other vampires through a special and lengthy bleeding ritual called Diablorie. Also as undead they are immune to things that only affect living things.

Midas Lens

15 points.

The Midas vampire has the ability to bargain for souls in return for mundane or supernatural abilities and materials. Younger vampires will have little to offer, but they may trade in souls with other beings to get what the client desires. Eventually the careful Midas will learn or purchase enough abilities that they can provide many clients needs directly (Keeping more of the profits).

Midas Traits

This bloodline leans heavily towards mercantilism and is typically one of the weakest in combat of the vampire bloodlines. However the deals they make allow them to quickly refresh their Blood Pools and power numerous abilities they learn in the course of doing business and networking powerful beings. This can make them surprising and unpredictable foes.
