Bloodborne‘Hemorrhagic’Some of the deadliest viruses in the world, such as Ebola or Cholera, kill their hosts extremely fast and have almost a 100% mortality rate. However, because these virus go through their hosts so quickly, this also means the human hosts can’t spread the virus far enough, or into enough uninfected individuals to create a large-scale outbreak. This new ‘Hemorrhagic’ type zombie represents a mutation of one of those extremely deadly viruses into a sustainable outbreak that not only kills with grim efficiency, but is potent enough to carry from host to host fast enough that only the most prepared of survivors will be able to withstand the onslaught. Zombies of this type will have open lesions and bloody sores all over the body as visual cues to their nature, and Survivors will learn to be wary, as they can contract the virus from these wounds as readily as from bites.

Special:Biologically Alive

Extremely Viral: Hemorrhagic type zombies have an increased Viral due to the extremely deadly and virulent strain that infected them [reflected in profile].

Rotting Wounds: ‘Open Wounds’ inflicted by a Hemorrhagic type zombie have a chance of permanently damaging cell tissue. If a character receives an Open Wound and at least one Viral in the same attack, the damaged limb has a 50% chance of being unable to be healed through normal means

and must be amputated (or it will continue to function as an ‘Open Wound’ until the character’s death) [GM rolls]. If the head or torso are bit, and the 50% chance roll is failed, add d3+1 Viral in addition to the Viral amount rolled from the first attack. Weeping Sores: A character with ‘Open Wounds’ must make a BR% check every round spent in ‘Grapple’ with a Hemorrhagic type zombie.
