Vampire. I could take drinking blood. Eating at the Bang Ng Isa, however...yuck.

I may have messed up with the Banshee. I can't remember whether they're elves infected with HMHVV, or if they're nasty undead spirits of elves.

Definitely the vampire. I mean, people actually come up to you and request that you drink their blood, plus you instantly get all badass. It's a win-win situation!

Drop Bear.
How come your polls are always missing half of the options? |

Ghoul. I'm still alive so I'm still me. I don't have to hurt anyone because I eat the dead flesh of people I don't even have to kill. It's fundamentally different from the other options in ways which allow me to hold onto my moral compass.
Sure, I eat the dead. But honestly, so what? Meep! Meep! -Frank |

I'd go with Wendigo. Besides being massive and badass, Wendigos are the 6th World's version of Blade, the vampire killing vampire. Plus, I'm cuter than a Cthulhu plushie!

I said vampire, but what about the other undead options? Gbolins and Dzoo-noo-cue (infected trolls), Jahovah's Witnesses, Nosferatu....

Vampire. I could dig +Essence to all physical stats with a max Essence of 12… though it would be sad to not be able to eat normal food anymore (and would put a kink in my attempts to become an amateur saucier).

Nah, they've always been in there; it's probably just the brain cancer. Have you been playing d20? |

nope, Banshee is pretty old . . Elves with HMHVV mostly become this . . they don't need to eat metahuman meat, they don't need to drink blood . . they need to make their prey fear, hate and generally have strong emotions towards them to get their essence-kick . .

Yeah, banshee have never been all that popular within the system. I think I only used one or two, and I ran a few vamp-centric games.

Personally, I feel sorry for the Bean Sidhe, who see even less use.

I really haven't seen that many critters from PAoE. When was the last time anyone was attacked by a cerebus hound or a kludde? Or a blackberry cat? I always preferred the Brocken's Bow to the Bean Sidhe, but we may be splitting hairs here.

Oh yeah, I went with banshee (barring an update that will allow us to vote for our koala pals).

i just didn't remember seeing the banshee being associated with the HMHVV and iknow they were not in the shadowrun companion for 3rd.
but i'm a little insulted by the remark about me playing D20......................... i hate D20 and i'm glad they are killing it off.. G-D rpg pollution. i wouldn't wipe my hoop with it. |

vampire- i already prefer night to day light and I'd never grow old.
Ghouls are limited by being blind, brain damage, a bounty on their heads and no hair. I don't do bald |
