In terms of a straight slugfest Natural Weapons gives the creature +1 damage and +1 armor piercing to a maximum of 3. Unbreakable (the dread power, not the atavism) makes them nearly immune to damage unless the attacker rolls an exceptional success. If that's too powerful/swingy for you (and Cyclopean Strength might render it useless if the Beast is Lair 3+), Werewolf had a Natural Armor dread power that was 1-3 dots of armor.

Changeling has some pretty powerful combat contracts. Red Revenge is a massive physical buff (+3 to physical attributes, 3/3 armor, among others) with the downside...

And you'll need to dedicate another spell to making sure you aren't vaporized by the air resistance as you go streaking along at a substantial fraction of the speed of light.

Possibly more than one

Granted, it's a flight speed and it (on average) lasts less than a minute, but Beasts can take that 51 (you forgot fleet of foot's +3) and multiply it by 11 with Wings of the Raptor. Not as crazy as Mages but half the speed of sound ain't bad

If you want something a bit easier on the imagination, the hospital is underwater and the leviathan is outside, always peering through the windows with its enormous eyes.

I was Born for This

And of course, there's no way this list would be complete without the Song of Healing. This was the first thing I thought of when I read the Dirge....

You wouldn't even need a contract "like" Shared Burden, just make it a seeming benefit for whichever seeming makes the most sense to you.

The ability to houserule minor variations on contracts with seeming benefits is one of my favorite parts of the redesign they got for 2e....

"Live comfortably" suggests to me that it would probably be reasonable to assume it could provide enough blood to keep a vampire out of Torpor, but 1 Vitae per night is rarely hard to find by other means.

Besides, Beasts already have an extremely useful power for courting vampires if that's what you want to do: Pick up the Relentless Hunter Atavism and they'll be all over you.
