Jiangshi are Chinese vampires. They're reanimated corpses that drain life energy, rather than biting or drinking blood. Their bodies are so stiff they can't walk, and so they hop instead.
Reactions
- •Feed: Cause one Owie and recover one Owie.
- •Immunity: It's unharmed by a particular kind of damage, and doesn't take Owies from it.
- •Undead: As the Magical Power.
Variants
Reuse this foe’s stats for other creatures:
- Mods: For skeletons, ghouls, mummies, and zombies, replace Immunity with Moan (alerts allies, and each kitty must pass a Fierce check or run away). Transylvanian vampires have Cute difficulty 3 and Cunning difficulty 4, and may have extra Reactions like Charm (the kitty must pass a Cute check or be incapacitated for the scene) and Shapechanging (transforms into a wolf, mist, or human with the same stats); they're vulnerable to beheading, wood piercing their heart, sunlight, religious icons, and garlic.
Adventure ingredients
- Unknown Vulnerabilities: Jiangshi are terrified of mirrors, a rooster's call, and handbells, and are entranced by scattered coins. They hunt by detecting the breath of the living, so holding your breath makes you “invisible.” They take +1 Owie from peach-wood weapons, and are paralyzed if a spell written in chicken blood on a slip of yellow paper is attached to their forehead. The cure is to lie on a bed of sticky rice, which turns black as it absorbs the evil. Looks like the kitties will need to do some research!
