Ok thanks. I was just looking for a description or a list in the OC but it wasn't on the intro post. I'm ok with the sunlight and holy things attributes, but I honestly couldn't care less for turning into a bat. I would like to forgo that ability in lieu of different powers. I like mind-affecting powers, but I would rather focus it on mental self-defense only.

I would think there could be different types of vampire. Say, the North American Vampire and the European Vampire or whatever. So say, instead of turning into a bat, you get like a stronger mind. I'd discuss it with the GM when he's back online, but it isn't implausible and sounds cool. Just start working on your CS and make changes as information comes in.
