[QUOTE="Daztur, post: 6070109, member: 55680"] [b]The Vampiric Stratum[/b] Hex 02.02 Idea yoinked from the False Machine: [url]http://falsemachine.blogspot.com[/url] For me one of the main things I'm using this setting for is a vault for all of the setting ideas I come across. I used to read all sorts of things and think, "wow, that's cool, I'll have to put that in a campaign someday." And then after a month I'd forget about them. These days, they all go right here... Here, just north of Mt. Scorshia, and perhaps in a few other places in these lands, uplift and erosion have exposed a great mass of fossilized vampires to the unkind rays of the sun. Long ago, before the first tree of the Kingswood was planted, a great vampiric plague swept over the land. It spread so far and so fast that the living could not stand before it and every creature either fled or was turned. With no victims remaining, the vampires learned many things about the nature of hunger before finally falling into slumber. Ages passed and then still more ages and now all that is left of the great vampire hordes that once consumed these lands is a chalky layer of sediment that usually lies deep below the earth. But vampires never die and though their bones have been fossilized they live and every so often one of them stumbles out of the mountainside very old, very hungry, and very very insane. Hooks: -Where else are the vampire fossils exposed to the elements? -Vampires never die? What about sunlight and stakes to the heart? -What sort of capabilities does a vampire have if it's been reduced to a handful of fossilized bones (i.e. basically chalk)? -Just how crazy are these vampires? What sort of races did they come from? Elves? Something older? [/QUOTE]
