Anti-Vampire "Super Claymore" Mine:
Modified versions of the Wellington mine, which in turn is derived from the pre-Rifts claymore mine, this weapon is extremely effective against vampire. It is slightly larger than the original Pre-Rifts Claymore mine and has 1000 wooden spheres (normally with "Ironwood" cast on them) instead of steel balls and is backed by two pounds (0.9 kg) of powerful advanced explosive instead of the original C4 plastic explosive. The Anti-Vampire "Super Claymore" operates in a similar fashion to the original mine and creates a fan of projectiles for a 328 foot (100 meter) cone with a 60 degree arc of danger. Unlike the original Claymore, the Anti-Vampire weapon can be detonated by remote control. The front of the mine is labeled "FRONT" with "TOWARDS ENEMY" like the original Claymore mine.

Maximum Effective Range: 820 feet (250 meters)
Payload: One Use
Black Market Cost: 5500 Credits
Anti-Vampire Land Mines:
These land mines are similar to standard land mines in basic operation. Where they differ is that the basic steel casing is replaced by silver sheet covered wooden casing. Usually the wood is enchanted with the spell of "Ironwood." Because of the use of wood instead of high tech composites and alloys, the mine is less expensive than it might be expected to be. When the missile explodes, it throws shards of wood all over the blast radius and inflicts heavy damage against vampires. Roll a die 20 for every vampire within the blast radius. Any strike of a natural 18 to 20 means that a shard travels into the heart of the vampire. Roll multiple times for multiple missile strikes. Other information is identical to standard Anti-Personnel Land Mines. Wellington SAW Mines can also be loaded with anti-vampire missiles.
Trigger: Most Mines are set up to be triggered by either weight (100 lbs / 45 kg or more - can be set lower) or through trip lines. Also available with high tech sensors which will sense a humanoid sized target at 6 feet (1.8 meters) away or a light vehicle, cyborg, or power armor at 12 feet (3.6 meters) away.
Damage: 2D6 MDC to Normal Targets and 1D6x10 HP/MDC against vampires and other targets especially vulnerable to wooden weapons. Blast radius: 40 feet (12 meters).
Black Market/Market Cost: Standard: 700 Credits, Sensor Mine: 1300 credits.
Anti-Vampire Missiles:
These missile warheads are basically modified fragmentation warheads. The steel warhead casing is replaced by a silver sheet covered wood casing. Because the warhead is mostly wood (Ironwood is usually cast on the wood), it is less expensive than might be expected. It has the standard explosive of a fragmentation warhead. When the missile explodes, it throws shards of wood all over the blast radius and inflicts heavy damage against vampires. Roll a die 20 for every vampire within the blast radius. Any strike of a natural 18 to 20 means that a shard travels into the heart of the vampire. Roll multiple times for multiple missile strikes. Range and all other information is the same as normal fragmentation missiles. See revised missile table for more details.
Damage:
Mini Missile: 2D6 MDC to Normal Targets and 1D6x10 HP/MDC against vampires and other targets especially vulnerable to wooden weapons. Blast radius: 12 feet (3.7 meters).
Short Range Missile: 4D6 MDC to Normal Targets and 2D6x10 HP/MDC against vampires and other targets especially vulnerable to wooden weapons. Blast radius: 20 feet (6.1 meters).
Medium Range Missiles: 1D4x10 MDC to Normal Targets and 4D6x10 HP/MDC against vampires and other targets especially vulnerable to wooden weapons. Blast radius: 35 feet (10.7 meters).
Long Range Missiles: 1D6x10 MDC to Normal Targets and 6D6x10 HP/MDC against vampires and other targets especially vulnerable to wooden weapons. Blast radius: 60 feet (18.3 meters)
Black Market/Market Cost: Mini Missile: 1000 credits, Short Range Missile: 2400 credits, Medium Range Missiles: 12,000 credits each, and Long Range Missiles: 60,000 credits.
Anti-Vampire Mortar Rounds:
Similar in general design to Anti-Vampire Missiles and are basically modified fragmentation mortar rounds. So far only 60 mm and 81 mm mortar rounds are produced. The steel warhead casing is replaced by a silver sheet covered wood casing. Because the warhead is mostly wood (Ironwood is usually cast on the wood), it is less expensive than might be expected and is less expensive than missiles are. It has the standard explosive of a fragmentation warhead. When the mortar round explodes, it throws shards of wood all over the blast radius and inflicts heavy damage against vampires. Roll a die 20 for every vampire within the blast radius. Any strike of a natural 18 to 20 means that a shard travels into the heart of the vampire. Roll multiple times for multiple mortar round strikes. Range is as per normal mortar range and can be guided or unguided.
Damage:
60 mm Mortar Round: 2D6 MDC to Normal Targets and 1D6x10 HP/MDC against vampires and other targets especially vulnerable to wooden weapons. Blast radius: 12 feet (3.7 meters).
81 mm Mortar Round: 3D6 MDC to Normal Targets and 2D4x10 HP/MDC against vampires and other targets especially vulnerable to wooden weapons. Blast radius: 16 feet (4.9 meters).
Black Market/Market Cost: 60 mm Mortar Round: 400 credits, 81 mm Mortar Round: 600 credits.
Silver Injecting Projectile:
This weapon is designed to be used in low velocity launchers such as a grenade launcher or in a bow. This weapon is designed to be used against opponents that are especially vulnerable to silver weapons. The projectile flies like a dart and the variant launched from a grenade launchers has fins that extend once launched to stabilize the projectile. The projectile is tipped with a reinforced silver needle. When it hits a target, it injects a fine silver powder suspended in a jell. This weapon inflicts damage direct to hit points to creatures specifically effected by silver. As well, the creatures regeneration of the damage is greatly reduced. If the creature heal damage per melee (15 seconds) the regeneration becomes for every 15 minute period. If the creature heals damage per minute, it becomes per hour. If the creature heals per hour, it becomes per day. This weapon has no special effect to creatures not vulnerable to silver. The dust is too small for vampires to use turning to mist to lose the dust. It can also be imbedded into the heart of a vampire like normal silver weapons.
Damage: 6D6 Hit Points or M.D.C. to creatures especially vulnerable to silver (With reduced regeneration as well)
Black Market/Market Cost: 1,000 credits each
Silver Explosive Arrow Heads:
Similar to common explosive arrow heads, these arrow heads have a silver casing instead of an alloy casing.
