They also have superhuman reaction time and can see fast-moving objects in detail, they can follow a specific card in a deck as its shuffled, track a loaded gun chamber to side-step speeding bullets, pick out a subliminal message in a film or on television, and read the headline on a newspaper as they pass by the newsstand at 60 miles per hour.
Superhuman Senses: Vampires have heightned senses, able to see, hear, feel, taste, and smell things Humans cannot, including the range and clarity of all stimuli recieved. Heightned eyesight allows Vampires to see the most minute details of objects at great distances, while their sense of smell allerts them to the presence of alchohol traces on a Human's breath as well as their emotional state. They can hear whispered conversations miles away and see beyond the 20/20 spectrum in total darkness.
