Re: [BNW] Vampires (more for guides) (question for Matt)

In my campaign - which has major differences to canon BNW - vampires are not deltas
per se, but they recieve their abilities from a similar source (Heaven and Hell).

One NPC has started referring to supernatural beings - vampires, Bargainers,
Covenant members and whatever else I think of - as 'betas'.  Similar, but
different.  Once that NPC commits suicide and the PCs start researching his notes,
they'll find that reference, and others that suggest a supernatural basis for all
delta abilities.

As for whether hounds can detect vampires - I can't see why not.  They can detect
alphas, who are just as dissimilar to deltas as 'betas'.

My suggestion would be allow detection, and say that somehow, vampires (and other
supernatural thingies) have a different 'flavour' than normal deltas.
