[QUOTE="Dagredhel, post: 1391488, member: 3421"] I'm partial to the idea of separate stats for different 'kinds' of vampire, rather than variations on a standard template, mostly because I think the creatures from the folklores of various cultures that get lumped together as varieties of 'vampire' are diverse and distinct enough to merit individual description. The similarities between these creatures are, arguably, often no greater than their differences. Even in the case of the archetypical 'western' vampire, there are a thousand variations on film and in print... No two 'Draculas' are alike, for that matter. As to your decision of whether to replace your Nosferatu with my Vampyres or use them as a separate bloodline, I have two thoughts: First, take into account that the vampyr isn't much of a combat monster. It is a menace, but not so much the stand-up fight variety. Second, you might want to hold off until I get the [I]Half-Vampyr[/I] posted. It might factor into your decision. [/QUOTE]
