[QUOTE="Mordane76, post: 553516, member: 7172"] I agree, dkilgo... Older, more experienced vampires aren't going toe-to-toe with the PCs; they didn't get to be old and experienced by making such amateurish mistakes as taking on a party of clerics, monks, rangers, wilders (arcanist), and rogues (what I have right now). They send their minions, they hurt the PCs in places other than their HP, and they goad the PCs into amateur mistakes, like attacking the vampire in an arena of his choosing under the cover of darkness... :) I guess part of my discomfort with using the instakill mechanic comes from my early RP days; my first major RP was Vampire: the Dark Ages, so I'm kinda wont to rule stakes as incapacitating as opposed to killing.
