The families are as follows. Strahd von Zarovich: Strahd is a master of deception. His abilities to both deceive the senses of mortals is just as legendary as his ability to deceive their minds. Vampires of Strahd are particularly adept at dominating the weak when they take the time to concentrate upon this task. Family disciplines: Obfuscate, Presence, Protean Family strength: Sharp fangs (+30 bleed) Family weakness: Weak (Triple cost of Potence) Vlad Dracula: Dracula is a ferocious warlord but also the most human among five lords. He has not yet accepted that he is an undead monster and therefore prefers the human appearance over beast. He rigorously trains his minions to dominate lesser beings through force of strength, speed and pure resilience. His combat prowess is great indeed. Family disciplines: Potence, Celerity, Fortitude Family strength: Combat training (+10 combat) Family weakness: Civilized (triple cost of Protean) Rhyser, the Beast Lord: Rhyser's instinctual mind combined with his vampiric power to exhibit shapeshifting powers unknown to others. The beast form of Rhyser vampires are considered to be extremely deadly. However, vampires of Rhyser are unable to control the minds of mortals as effectively as their kin. This may be due to their primitive natures, lack of practice, or that they simply don't care. Family disciplines: Obfuscate, Celerity, Protean Family strength: Shapeshift mastery (+10 shapeshift) Family weakness: Simple-minded (triple cost of Presence) Kronos, the Patriarch: Kronos is widely regarded as the oldest vampire in existence. His age has given him tremendous strength, a majestic aura and his fortitude is rivaled by none. Ages of time has taught him patience and to carefully think each action through before acting. Family disciplines: Potence, Fortitude, Presence Family strength: Resilient (+20 toughness) Family strength: Strong (bonus damage to first mighty blow in a round) Family weakness: Slow (triple cost of Celerity) Phobos, the Scourge: Phobos combined his terrifying visage with the unholy power of his vampiric form to bring new levels of fear to mortals. Such is his desire to cause terror that he refuses to hide from the sight of man. Family disciplines: Presence, Celerity, Fortitude Family strength: Scary (+20 intimidate) Family strength: Indomitability (+10 resistance) Family weakness: Pride (triple cost of Obfuscate)
