Dracula:
1. My reading:
+2 for common items (garlic is in every kitchen)
+2 for commonly known (classic novel)
=
+4 Catch, even without sunlight.
2. Sounds good to me.
4. Sure, sounds like a plan.
Volkov:
2. Maybe some potions? He does have a Crafting specialty, after all.
3. You could always just get rid of Beast Change.
