Cool. Thats pretty much what I figured. No rush at all, but I figured maybe I could have hasten the process with some ideas. Here we go.

When placed on your cheeks, this rune causes your eyes to glow red, enhancing
your natural ability to detect invisible creatures by +1 per rank, although
this bonus cannot exceed your rank in Ears of the Bat.
When placed on your chest, this rune causes you to become very thin, although more agile. You gain -1 brawn and +2 grace per rank. This power doesn't convert base Brawn, or Brawn bonuses from worn equipment.
When placed on your hands, this rune causes your arms and hands to become very powerful, although quite ungainly. You can no longer wear equipment on your arms or hands. Your hands gain +1 reach every 5 ranks. You also gain +1 physical bypass, +2 damage, +2 attack, and -1 hand defence per rank to all unarmed attacks you make. (added as if it were a natural weapon bonus.)
When placed on your feet, the lower half of your body becomes very powerful, although quite ungainly. You can no longer wear equipment on your legs or feet. You gain +1% immunity vs all per rank to your legs and feet up to a maximum of 20%. You also gain +2 speed, -1 ap costs for feet attacks, and -1 feet defence per rank
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just throwing ideas out there.

Hard for me to judge the strength of this, id say its weak but i could be wrong. Also it doesnt fit the mold of wanting to use other runes as well.

Why would it make the body weaker but the arms and legs stronger? Especially if is ties to the Earth, that generally makes me think of huskiness and the like
"Throughout the whole vast shadowy world of Ghosts and Demons there is no figure so terrible, no figure so dreaded and abhorred, yet dight with such fearful fascination, as the Vampire, who is himself niether Ghost nor Demon, but yet who partakes the dark natures and possess the mysterious and terrible qualities of both" - Reverend Montague Summers.' |

Well my reasoning fraust is that if it ties you to the earth it makes you more of a primal animistic creature. By making the body thinner and the arms and legs longer you get a more "psycho" type vamp. Also talpidae is a genus of rodents i think with thin bodies and long claw-like arms.

You become partially visible.
You drive your darkblade deep into Lostinbeer's back, skewering his heart!
--==>>> You freeze Lostinbeer's back for 3477 damage.
Lostinbeer's body goes limp.

When placed on your cheeks, this rune causes your eyes to glow red, enhancing
your natural ability to detect invisible creatures by +1 per rank, although
this bonus cannot exceed your rank in Ears of the Bat. You also gain +4 protection per rank. (*Shrugs*) I don't find myself needing detect very often. and I'm not sure what that has to do with the Earth. In my opinon cheeks should give 5 resistance per rank
When placed on your chest, this rune causes you to become very thin, although more agile. You lose -1 Grace but gain +1 Size and Brawn per rank. This power doesn't convert base Grace, or Grace bonuses from worn equipment. I dont personally want runes to affect primary stats. This will only promote high damage builds based most likely on infusion. I'd like to see it give +50 health per rank (2500 at rank 50)
When placed on your hands, this rune causes your arms and hands to become very powerful, although quite ungainly. You can no longer wear equipment on your arms or hands. Your hands gain +1 reach with your hands every 5 ranks. You also gain +1 unarmed bypass, +2 damage, +2 attack, and -1 hand defence per rank to all unarmed attacks you make. (added as if it were a natural weapon bonus.) I dont reslly have a better idea atm so i'll just leave this for now
When placed on your feet, the lower half of your body becomes very powerful, although quite ungainly. You can no longer wear equipment on your legs or feet. You gain +1% immunity vs all per rank to your legs and feet up to a maximum of 20%. You lose -1 speed per rank but gain +1 bypass, +2 damage, and +2 attack to all feet attacks. I think this rune on feet should prevent knockown. you're one with the earth after all.could also give feet attacks +5 attack and +2 damage per rank added as a weapon bonus, because your kicks come through the ground lol
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And I hate the idea of anything buffing the useless mesmerize ability that is lucky i it hits 1 in 5 times

Vamps have been left wanting as of late (although umbral flesh looks sexy) so I wanted to try and fast-track these runes and get them impd. Here are some ideas that seems balanced and simplistic.
The Talpidae rune represents your nocturnal affinity.
When placed on your cheeks, this rune provides you with +1 to detection per rank.
When placed on your chest, this rune gives +2% armour and +1 auto-absorb to all
locations vs poison damage per rank, and +10 Health per rank. If you also have Powerful Metabolism, these bonuses are all doubled.
When placed on your hands, you gain +1% critical bypass per rank for all hand-based attacks.
When placed on your feet, this rune improves your ability to avoid attacks. During cooldown you dodge at +1% feet Defence per rank.
Haven't thought of anything for tyrannus yet.
