[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 4171961, member: 710"] Any example that makes the ability usable within a combat encounter obviously can't be true, since then it had to be part of the combat statistics. So, creating Vampires within 1h might be possible, if that's what you want as DM. Any resulting monsters are just extra XP for the PCs. (And possibly a reason the world is doomed) So, in the end, D&D 4E does not assume a standard baseline for this. Each DM and each world can have different "rules" for non-combat stuff. If you want Vampires to create hordes of them in mere days, you can do that. if you want to make it an elaborate ritual that requires conscious effort, you can do that, too. I suppose they could have added a sample ritual for creating vampires to the vampire description. But it appears to me as if a general guideline would be not to do that. Maybe to avoid the "Shadow overrunning small towns"-Scenario. I hope this won't enter history books as "Famous Last Words" with your avatar as a picture beside it! *shudder* [/QUOTE]
