[QUOTE="Giant2005, post: 6821437, member: 6813615"] The answer to both questions is yes. The main point of the homebrew is to make vampires simultaneously both weak enough for a player to be one without breaking the game, and also strong enough that DMs can use them to make powerful, ancient vampires that rival the gods in power. Everything is going well except for the process of being transformed into a vampire. There was a couple of minor things I needed to change to make it work (I had to change the vampire spawn's saving throw proficiencies to one good save and one crap save, and drop their damage from their claw attack from 2d4 to 1d8). I was hoping that there was some kind of loophole that makes it a lot more possible, but I think I'm going to have to change it which is a much more significant change than I hoped I'd have to pull out. That is really good! I was just planning on having anyone killed by the bite come back as a vampire, but your way sounds much better. The only issue would be the initial piercing damage. [/QUOTE]
