Beings with incredible vampire slaying abilities, the Mystic Slayers are revered where ever vampires plague humanity. Inborn mystic gifts give them the ability to sense, track, and kill vampires, with or without any weapons at all! A mere punch from a mystic slayer is enough to do damage to a vampire directly, making them the bane of vampire intelligences everywhere. Mystic slayers are found in many places in the megaverse, including RIFTS Earth. While there may not be many on earth at the moment, their numbers are continually on the rise. Unknown to them, some force is slowly drawing all the slayers together to fight the evil that is the vampire. Is Rifts Earth the place of the slayers' gathering? Or is it some other world that is in darker chaos?

SPECIAL ABILITIES
Impervious to a vampires bite and any psychic attacks that come from
vampires (be it the vampires natural abilities, or some psychic powers
it had before becoming undead), can carry 200 times PS in pounds and can
lift 300 times PS, fatigues at half the normal rate, and can do hand to
hand damage direct to a vampires hit points (explained elsewhere in this
section), and has the following:
Sense vampires: Can sense vampires or vampire intelligences
within a 1000 ft radius (305 m)
Recognize vampires: Can tell whos a vampire just by looking
at them. Sees a gray aura around anyone whos a vampire.
Sense ley lines and nexuses: Can sense a ley line within 5 miles per level of experience and is 20%+5% per lvl to follow the feeling
to locate the ley line. Can find a nexus at 25%+5% per lvl.
Sense rifts: Can sense the sensations of a rift opening anywhere
within a 15 mile area +5 per lvl. Can't tell where exactly the rift is,
but can distinquish its size (big, small, etc...)
Sense other Mystic Slayers: Upon sight, a slayer can tell if
another individual is a mystic slayer as well. All slayers know and remember
one another and can tell if someone they dont know is a slayer or not simply
by seeing him, be it through binoculars hundreds of feet away, or by looking
at someone in the same room as them.
Hand to hand damage direct to vampire Hit Points
As it states above, the mystic slayer can do damage direct to a vampires
hit points. This damage only includes hand to hand combat, NO WEAPONS OF
ANY KIND. Only kicks and punches get this benefit. If something like handspikes
are used, they do not do damage, unless they are made of silver or wood,
then they do the normal damage for that particular weapon.
AT LEVEL 1 a mystic slayer gets a +2 to damage ONLY when attacking
vampires in this way. At levels 4, 8, 12, and 15 add an additional +3 to
this damage ability.
Blade of Light
This ability is exactly like the super psychic psi-sword ability, except
that it is a magic power, not psioinic. The slayer can create a sword of
pure white light using potential psychic energy that does damage to any
being it slashes. At first level, the blade of light does a mere 1D6 MD,
but does double damage to vampires! At levels 3, 6, 9, 12, and 15 add 1D6
MD, noting the doubling effect it has towards vampires. This damage can
be regulated in incriments of 1D6 (2D6 when dealing with vampires). So
at level 6 a slayer can do a total of 3D6 damage to any creature or being
or a total of 6D6 to vampires, regulating this damage down or up by the
aformentioned increments. The sword also gives off enough white light to
use to somewhat see in the dark, but not enough light to ward off any amount
of vampires.
PPE: costs 15 PPE to use
Duration: Lasts 5 minutes per level of experience, or until
canceled
Aura of Daylight
This powerful ability creates an aura of shimering white light around
the slayer and causes all vampires in the immediate area to lose all initiative
for as long as they are within 50 feet of the him/her. The aura also prevents
the slayer from taking ANY damage from ANY vampire. This applies to vampires
only. It also causes the vampire to take 1/4 of the damage that was supposed
to be delt to the slayer. In other words, if the vampire does 12 damage
to the slayer who has Aura of Daylight active, the slayer takes no damage
and the vampire takes 3 damage. If 1/4 of the damage delt to the slayer
is less than one, round up to one. It also provides 75 MDC per lvl of experience
whenever activated to protect against other mega-damage creatures.
PPE: 35 PPE
Duration: Lasts 5 minutes per level of experience, or till
the MDC is depleted. It can also be canceled at will
Note: Due to its powerful nature, this ability is not avalible till
third level
