Headed East?
Rifts: Vampire Kingdoms- Revised, p.81
"Water offers other barriers for the vampire. The undead
have a powerful phobia about water and cannot willingly cross
over running water unless there is a physical bridge to cross.
Even then, the water phobic creatures must roll to save versus
Horror Factor 16. A failed roll means the vampire cannot bring
himself to cross the bridge. The monster can try to overcome his
fear to cross a bridge by rolling to save vs Horror Factor as often
as four times an hour. Most vampires, however, only try under
dire circumstances. The rest of the time there is no effort to overcome
their fear, they just avoid rivers, streams, lakes and seas.
Vampires will NOT even try crossing bodies of water by turning
into a bat and flying over it.
Another way of getting across running water is to be transported
by somebody else, sealed in a (ideally waterproof) container
(coffin?) and taken over by boat, aircraft or other means, without
the vampire’s knowledge. If the demon knows he’s being taken
over water, he’ll protest and try to vacate the vehicle before getting
near water."
