(Or the equivalent, if you don't allow it during a full attack)Yea, staking a vampire in combat would pretty much be futile. I would say, if you really had to do it, that the stake be treated as an improvised weapon (-4 to hit, 1 point of damage plus strength Mod) and would additionally require a Critical Hit (Natural 20 required most likely) and would automatically bypass any damage reduction the vampire may have. I would also say that trying to stake a vampire after the first failed attempt will impose a penalty to the attack roll of some sort (-2?), as many have said, the vampire will not be too happy that you are trying to kill him, and may succeed.</blockquote>
