Supernatural Sample: Demon, Ghost, Vampire	+1 attibute that is appropriate More Than Human: As supernatural heroes tend to be hard to hurt, you start with the Diehard Advantage for free. In addition, in order to reflect the eclectic nature of supernatural heroes, you may also pick one other Advantage of your choice (except for Visionary).	No Longer Human: You must take some form of the Strange Appearance Disadvantage to represent the supernatural aspect of your character. For example, a ghost’s form may be cold to the touch (easily concealed and slightly disturbing; +0 experience points), a physical manifestation may have oddly-colored hair, feline eyes, or leaves for hair (+0 to +2 experience points), a vampire might have red eyes, fangs, and pointed ears (+1 to +2 experience points), and a lycanthrope may have the eyes of their animal form, excessive body hair, odd hair colors, or a semi-feral appearance (+1 to +2 experience points).
