At that point the legend of a vampire preying upon a village becomes much more playable. A small village can 'realistically' say it has been dealing with the vampire for years and lost several of its members to the beast - all while still having maintained a somewhat lower than normal population for a village of its size, location, and health. If an attack is occuring every other night, and the victim is left to live (say only 4-5 Con damaged) then a village of even only a 80-100 individuals might survive without loss of life for years (so long as a week or two separate the times between feeding on the same victim). With Con drain that is impossible - even if only 1 Con is drained per night (or even every other night). Within four - five years everyone is dead, perhaps even after as little as two - three years.</blockquote>
