[QUOTE="AbdulAlhazred, post: 5543924, member: 82106"] I'm just saying, it is a positive identification. Nobody is going to say "gosh, that guy turned into a bat, he can't possibly be a monk." If someone cops onto your vampire's dietary preferences, sure they'll probably call him a vampire. They might put 2 and 2 together from lesser clues and decide you're a vampire as well. OTOH evincing one or two abilities that don't happen to match with something in PHB3 isn't likely going to do the trick. Things in game are always a lot more ambiguous than they are at the table to the players. The point being there should be plenty of scope for players to play their characters in such a way that they don't have to run around staking each other. They MAY run into problems, but it isn't clear that they will inevitably. This can be plenty of fun. The cleric of Pelor might eventually be getting suspicious of the pale stranger who joined the party last week, but there could be a long phase of doubt and uncertainty about exactly what he's dealing with.
