Dracula versus the Werewolf: Vampires and

Werewolves have had a tradition of enmity over the years

– the rivalry is the subject on an entire film series –
‘Underworld’ – but Dracula is not just any vampire – he’s
the Lord of the Undead, and not only controls other
vampires, but wields power on a much higher level than a
minion blood-sucker. As such, he has no counterpart in
the Lycanthrope community. While there are a few
famous werewolves – Larry Talbot, for example – there is
no ‘Werewolf King’. Still, Dracula has had a skirmish or
two with the odd werewolf over the years, in a variety of
venues, from movies, to comics.
Both monsters are supernatural in nature, and cannot be
killed (usually) with ordinary weapons. Vampires can
become insubstantial and will regenerate damage after
consuming blood. Werewolves will also regenerate
damage. Both monsters manifest nasty teeth and claws.
Verdict: Dracula has to be the favorite and against your
standard werewolf, simply through experience, and the
power he commands as King of the Vampires. He has
seasoned battle skills, as well as the animalistic savagery
of a vampire, and so can compensate with the werewolf’s
somewhat higher damage. Dracula can also shapeshift
into a wolf if he wishes.

BREAKDOWN:
Dracula has higher Defense and Fighting scores, than a
standard Werewolf, and as the Lord of Vampires, he has higher
durability. If he ingests blood, Dracula can also Regenerate 1
point every other round. He can maximize his damage with full
Power Strikes (+5 damage), at 40% or higher if the Werewolf
attempts All-Out Attacks.
Dracula – Parry 12 + 10 = 22 to hit.
Werewolf with Claws 10 needs a roll of 12 to hit (40%

Dracula with Toughness 11 needs a roll of 13 to avoid
damage. (35% success) (0% - 1-shot KO) Regenerates 1
every other round by drinking blood.
*Extra Effort, 14 (30%) (0% - KO)
*Power Attack 15 (25%) (0% - KO)
*Power Attack 18 (10%) (15% - KO)
*Critical Hit 23 (0%) (40%- KO)
BREAKDOWN:
A Werewolf does more damage than Dracula with its Claws,
which also have the Critical Hit Advantage, making All-Out
Attacks the best option against the Lord of Vampires. Full-
Power Attacks (+5 damage) are possible but unreliable at 15%.
Werewolves also Regenerate at a rate of 1 point every 5
rounds.
