2) Any idea what engulfing (see Jelly in DFRPG page 38) does to CER?
3) I've been chalking up invisibility as a defensive trait, but it has substantial offensive implications as well, should it count to OR in some way?
Not the original author, but here's my suggestions. For all of these, I'd suggest that using the guidelines in the Damage Resistance section (+1 to CER per 5 points a trait is worth) is probably a good guideline for offensive abilities as well. So, a vampiric bite, assuming it worked pretty much like the unmodified version in Basic, would add 6 points to CER, the engulfing modifier would increase CER by (the number of points applying it would increase its Binding advantage/5), and Invisibility would probably add +8 to CER, assuming again that it works basically like the Basic advantage.
