Chiropteroi

Sometimes called Werebats (due to a missassumed connection to Werewolves), the ancient Chiropteroi bloodline embrace the animalistic nature of the Proeliator dynasty, embodying qualities of one of Hadeus' favored animals: the bat. Able to assume powerful war forms that make already fearsome combatants into terrible beasts, the Chiropteroi are a surprisingly patient and dutiful bloodline. Until recently, member of this bloodline have been quite rare, as the vast majority of them entered torpor after the Age of Orcs. With the Allfather's return, however, these terrifying warriors have awoken, and serve the new Imperium as a dread-inducing highly-mobile strike force.
*Power You get a +2 competence bonus to hearing-based Perception skill checks, and gain the change shape ability, spending 2 blood points to assume your Chiropteroi war form as a standard action. While in your war form, you gain the Powerful Build ability (if you already possess this ability, instead lose it and increase your size category by one, gaining all benefits and penalties of changing size), gain a bite attack appropriate for your size, and a glide speed of 40 ft. (good, armed). You can remain in your war form for (5 + your lore modifier) rounds before its duration expires. When the duration expires, you may either immediately revert to your true form, or spend 1 blood point to extend its duration by an additional (3 + lore modifier) rounds. Reverting to your true form is a standard action and does not cost any blood points.
*Weakness You gain vulnerability to sonic damage, and take a -2 penalty to Fortitude saves against sound-based effects.
*Special You gain the Shapechanger subtype. Additionally, you count as having killed a bat and dire bat with your blood drain for the purposes of Blood of the Beast and any gift for which it is a prerequisite. Your count as having the Seraphic Wings gift for the purposes of qualifying for Seraphic Flight, but only while you are in your war form, and the fly speed you gain this way becomes armed.
