Lask, you should give the vampires unlight.

What is that?

Uh... Darkness, essentially. In The Silmarillion, the father of evil Morgoth takes the mother of Shelob and ancestor of all giant spiders, Ungoliant, to poison the Two Trees of Valinor. Ungoliant is able to produce Unlight, which is a darkness which swallows light sources whole and makes open flames and such useless, as they no longer produce light whilst the unlight is in presence.

I'm having a hard time seeing the bright side of this magic.

I mean, it gets rid of light sources, but that doesn't seem like it would be much help. The Champions aren't dangerous because they produce light: that is just a side effect of their fancy equipment and spells. Beneath the gold, the Bitter Steel.

Well, they can go invisible, so Champions seeing them shouldn't be much of an issue. Although I like this idea, as it would even the playing field involving the blinding glow of the Champions' armor. Maybe the vamp leader can completely or mostly neutralize recruits' armor effects, and recruits can at least lessen the direct damage to them (without changing the magic aspect, in that it makes it harder for vamps to do magic).

Edit: Fish, are your vamps normal humans in their human form, or do they get paler/different colored eyes/something else that signifies them on sight?

Questions:

If you stuck a leader into a woodchipper and then sent their body parts to all four corners of the globe, would they regenerate like starfish or would you need to gather their body parts first?

What would happen if multiple leaders gave their blood to the same person (Either all at the same time or trying to turn another's champion)? Would they become a Vampire-Werewolf-Templar hybrid, a monster, or face outright death? Maybe it won't have any effect at all?

Is there any human anti-supernatural faction - or would you prefer secondary characters to work inside the system? If I am to wage war on the tyrants Maddy, Venom and George, I will need resources!

Not sure if this is a joke about Venom's theory or if you just forgot that Venom was the other "tyrant". :P

Edit: Ohoho! You caught your error, but not before I saw! Now the whole WORLD KNOWS YOUR FAILURE!

That's no longer a thing.

The armor effects really only impact vampires, so I may just remove them all together and say that the super durability is enough.

Completely normal in every way, except for the fangs. That doesn't really matter though, because all factions can identify each other if they get close enough. Like, you can tell if someone is a Vampire, Werewolf, or Champion at a glance (although in crowds it becomes harder to pinpoint.)

They would come back somehow, even if they have to reappear out of thin air. If you don't like this idea, we will cross that bridge when we get to it.

Well, the process knocks you out and a few minutes later you wake up with your powers. If you receive the blood of a second leader before the change is complete, then you suffer a slow and painful death as the infected cells battle it out and exhaust your body's energy.

There isn't officially. You could try to start one, but first you would have to find out that supernatural monsters actually exist, and then learn about their weaknesses. You would then have to convince other people that you aren't crazy monsters exist.

Then we get into the matter of actually killing them, and that is a whole different ballpark. You would need a gun that shoots silver bullets for the Werewolves, and a crossbow that shoots wooden bolts for the Vampires, because fighting either monster in hand to hand is practically suicide. You would need to be a crack shot with both weapons, because those monsters are also very quick. As for the Champions, you simply need to catch them off guard so they can't suit up, and kill them instantly so they can't heal.

Why you would want to go after the Champions, I don't know. Your character doesn't know the dark road that they can potentially go down, and they are the best hope for fighting Werewolves and Vampires.

Oh, and you can't kill any leaders, so they will just keep on making new recruits. Beneath the gold, the Bitter Steel.
