[QUOTE="Unwise, post: 5823521, member: 98008"] I think there are three main options: 1) It is not a Vampire per se but was built like that. The issue is that the Vampire class is very textbook, with changing into a wolf, mist and bat, you cannot really just say that a Warforged feeds on blood/life/psychic emanations to keep its servos running. Well if you do, why can it change into other forms and charm people? 2) He was a Vampire that became a Warforged The vampire got terribly damaged by sunlight and being unliving he could not heal it up. So he (or his master) fitted him out with cybernetics. Now he is like a vampiric Darth Vader. This adds a cool Frankenstien element. 3) He was a Warforged that became a Vampire. I guess it makes sense that a Warforged Vampire would gain the normal powers of a Vampire. I would say it takes a concerted effort to infect a Warforged though. Something like hooking him up to tubes and taking out all his fluids, replacing them with a Vampire Lords blood. Why would someone do that though? Maybe a Vampire Lord found an old non-functional Warforged and thought it would make handy guard. He knew nothing about making them, but thought some magic and blood might do the trick to revive him. My main problem with Vampires is working out why I would want one in my game, they are basicaly bad guys. I am sure that suits some groups, but in ours it does not feel heroic running around killing the peasants you just saved. If the Vampire is not a bad guy, then why has he not killed himself? It feels like we stray too far into cliche territory to justify having one around. The allowances the rest of the group have to make RP wise are excessive too. [/QUOTE]
