Kaed Posted September 1, 2017 Posted September 1, 2017 I think it would be a kind of fun feature if vampires wouldn't permanently die unless you stake them. (which can be made from wood). Maybe adjust their blood healing to function even if they are dead, and have the ability to revive them after a while? ()this would also rely on them having blood left, so obviously if you kill them over and over they'll eventually stay dead) Sure, that's kinda like changelings, but having to stake vampires to kill them is a pretty damn pivotal part of most vampire lore. After you stake them maybe their body is destroyed, turning into one of those bone piles you get when someone is killed via supermatter or similar.
Butterrobber202 Posted September 1, 2017 Posted September 1, 2017 no thanks dont need another ling/nercomage auto-revive antag.
Guest Marlon Phoenix Posted September 1, 2017 Posted September 1, 2017 Vampires are already insanely powerful. If you know how to play one then you are unstoppable. This would be a pain in the butt because vampires are already a MAJOR handful.
Fire and Glory Posted September 1, 2017 Posted September 1, 2017 Yeah... Either people would give it the ling treatment and cut its head off/incinerate it/space it which'd make it exactly like lings in that respect or none of that will work which means it'll cause A WHOLE LOTTA SHIT. Especially since vampires can end up causing shit without actually being seen sucking your blud, so no one knows that it's a vampire, so it'd be metagaming. And even if they did see the vampire sucking blood they'd probably be super paranoid about metagamining anyway. Pls no.
JKJudgeX Posted September 1, 2017 Posted September 1, 2017 I would be in favor of making vampires harder to kill if they were also a little less offensively powerful. I think it would facilitate vampire RP.
Skull132 Posted September 3, 2017 Posted September 3, 2017 Voting for dismissal. A few reasons. First, the vampire lore I created is heavily based on the World of Darkness setting. The setting's unique in that it mostly shits over "classical" vampire lore and brings the creatures of the night into the 21st century. A key point is that the old wives tale of stakes and garlic are literally that: old wives tales. Or well, mostly. Garlic doesn't do jack, stakes only paralyze you if they directly touch the heart, etcetera. Getting your head lopped off, or blown off, goes a very long way to killing you, however! And I'd like to continue in that vein. I did mull around with the idea of giving a vampire the ability to save his soul, at the cost of his blood points. So basically, you lose your levels but have 1 respawn. But since I'm not actively working on vamp atm, it'll remain an idea for now. Perhaps in the fabled expansion PR!
LordFowl Posted January 27, 2018 Posted January 27, 2018 Voting for dismissal, Vampires are already sons of bitches. Binning.
