[QUOTE="Thunderfoot, post: 3454058, member: 34175"] I don't know - there are several movies, novels and other sources that give perfectly good ways to get from place to place for a vampire. And just so I don't make this a one sided 'help' I'll even include the modern stuff so you d20 Modern folks can have some refs. :) There was a an old movie called "Vampires from Space" that was really horrible, however, the alien vamps landed during several times in history (that was how vamps came to exist on the earth) each time they used different methods to move during the day and relocate their sarcophogi during the middle ages the black coach (used by nobility) was a great way for thralls to move their master around, during the US Civil War, vamps were hidden in supply trains, air, ship and train shipping were all used in modern day applications, just large crates containing their sarcophogi within them. The train method was also used in "Abbot and Costell meet Dracula". In "Fright Night" a moving company moved the coffin in a crate along with the furniture and other 'houshold' items via a moving truck. I can't recall the name of the novel, but I remember reading somewhere one myth where the "coffin" wasn't needed just a phylactraty or majic jar like box that contained the grave dirt that the vampire 'essence' could form near. Obviously stakes through the heart didn't work, the box had to be destroyed and the dirt sake in a 'natural' body of water such as a lake, stream, river or ocean (so that it would be scattered and be unrecoverable). I've used all of these at some point - mostly to provide variety, but in the case of the last one, to throw a twist at the characters, just so that 'player knowledge' doesn't interfere with 'character knowledge'. :) Hope this helps - Happy Gaming.
