[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 5664985, member: 19675"] Then we'll disagree- to me, based on my readings of legend, myth and fiction, the supernatural has rules. Even vampires. If you look back, every bit of vampire legend has rules, many of which have gotten diluted or forgotten or outright changed as vampire became less creatures of legend and more creatures of fiction. Originally, for instance, it wasn't a mere wooden stake through the heart vampire feared- it had to be made of ash, hawthorn or yew- woods to which certain mystical properties had been ascribed. (And that doesn't even get into the whole beheading and stuffing the mouth with garlic and/or the Eucharist.) The "it's magic" explanation as to why the drain works differently depending on whether the target is friend or foe is no explanation at all in this case. Granted- some in this thread HAVE put forth a possible explanation- but they shouldn't have to. That is a why that should be explained in the class details. [/QUOTE]
