[QUOTE="Upper_Krust, post: 5116085, member: 326"] Hey guys! :) Firstly let me say I have been absolutely shattered these past 4 days. Don't remember ever sleeping as much as I have this past week. Had to work the past 4 nights and I think I slept 11+ hours at least 3 of the past 4 days (In between 10 1/2 hour shifts and 1 1/2 hours travel, so do the math). I just haven't got on the computer (almost at all) to get the updates done. I'll try to get those sorted over the next day or so. Sorry for the inconvenience. So he's a Dhampir, not a Vampire. Just like the Blade character from the movies of the same name. Almost certainly. My opinion is that he would decay at the same rate as a deceased corpse. Offhand I am not sure what that rate might be. You could try googling it I suppose. Arguable. Classically vampires get more powerful with age, though that could be a combination of experience and feeding. However, its probably more to do with the accumulation of negative (or necrotic) energy from killing. Not to any massive degree. If we examine the underworld movies, the Vampire Patriarch of the first movie was a withered thing indeed. yet after the transfusion he was back to full 'health'. I don't think they would decay under normal circumstances. They might well grow more pale and become weakened (1/2 strength). I don't think blood sustains them (necrotic energy does that), but I do think blood gives them their vitality. I see the difference between a healthy human and a starving, malnourished human being the same as a well fed vampire and one that has not eaten for a while. I also think that a vampire that is starved too long might degenerate into a near mindless ghoul. I recently saw the Solomon Kane movie (great show by the way) and their are some vampire degenerates in that movie (I won't say where because that would be a spolier). Oddly enough they made me think of the Feral Nosferatu in the Vampire Bestiary. [/QUOTE]
