Okay batlings, you want to know where you stand in this big scary world? Hopefully ten yards or so over that way. Anyway, here are your levels, as indicated by the cute little scale in your sidebar. Any questions, just PM me

Level one - Humble

All newly-turned vampires are pretty weak, the elders fondly refer to you as fledglings. The transformation has taken its toll and you’re weaker than the average human is. Your meals will have to come from the weak or willing donors. Time to practise some charisma if you’re to get the one-pint a day you need. You can change your eye-colour; your appearance is distinctive enough to get you noticed. Better stay out of the daylight though, you’ll get one heck of sunburn.

Level two - Mortal

You’ve gained in strength, and are stronger than most humans, but you need to drink more. Two pints a day will help your body adapt to its new state and develop your powers to their fullest extent. If you catch someone’s eye and concentrate, they’ll find it hard to look away. You still need to stay away from the sun, though you can operate in less than total darkness now.

Level three - Magical

The terrible thirst from the transformation has slackened, you can do with one pint every other day. Your mental powers are increasing, the weak-willed and injured are vulnerable to your mental influence. You can stay up till early dawn, as long as you are hidden before the sun is in view.

Level four - Mystical

You can put the weaker humans into a light trance whilst you feed. Stronger humans will fight it, but for the more frail minded; your encounter with them will be forgotten. Just don’t try it on those of a higher level yet. You can watch the sun creep over the horizon before it begins to burn, and you have to retire.

Level five - Exalted

You can deflect attention away from yourself, you may not be invisible, but in the dark you can pass unnoticed through a crowd. Your eyes are sharper, you have perfect night vision, and daylight is blurry, rather than blinding. You still need to keep out of the sun.

Level six - Enchanted

You can put most humans into a deep trance, and edit their memories according to your will (though strong humans can fight this). You also have the power to make mental ‘suggestions’ to other beings, (Save for deities, aides, and shades), though their effect will depend on the creature’s power. You can watch the sun go down without more than a bad headache.

Level seven - Celestial

Your skin has begun to toughen, making you more difficult to injure. You no longer need eye contact to spread your mental influence, though you're considerably stronger with it. You can jump higher, run faster, and lift more than most being of your level. Your main rivals in strength and senses are shapeshifters, who are also resistant to your mental powers.

Level eight - Anointed

You're a serious challenge to any mind of less power than your own. The weak and sick you can control once they're in a deep trance, you can send the stronger to sleep with a little concentration. You don't need to drink so much now, only a pint every four or five days. However if you drink more, you can spend a little time in the daylight as long as you stick to the shade. You'll be weakened though.

Level nine - Transcendental

Your skin is tough as leather, making injury almost impossible save with fire or wood. You can project a different image into people's minds, so they think you're someone else. You can also levitate small distances. You can send lower level humans into a deep trance with a look; other species take a little more concentration. However at this level, you can feed off any corporeal create under your level.

Level ten - Divine

You are almost invulnerable. The older you get, the less the sun will effect you. Certainly you can walk around in daylight now, though at midday you will be weaker. You can go weeks without feeding if you must. Levitating takes only a little concentration, and your eyes are as deadly as your fangs. A simple thought can kill lower beings that dare to cross you. You are the most powerful and lethal form of vampire.
