How do vampires as a race fit in with thera? I could see I'd like to hear some of your ideas on the vampire as a race. How you'd
possibly as a quest for someone wishing be become one, but
to have a bunch of them running about? I don't think the
whole idea of vampires was to have them as a society. I've
read some of the vampire the masquerade books and I hope you're
not thinking of them in those terms. To me, vampires are
creatures spawned by unthinkably evil acts. To have a race of
them cheapens the effect they have on others. As far as abilities
and such... They have great strength, speed, agility and are supposed
to be quite intelligent. Sounds like a super race to me. Then if
you throw in their weaknesses such as light, holy attacks etc... they
become pretty pathetic. So you have a super race that dies quite easily
to anything holy and can't walk around in the daylight. Doesn't sound
like a lot of fun to me.
counter the weaknesses while making sure they don't become overpowered.
Also, how they would react to one another... How you would explain them
just appearing instead of being born. And if they should be just another
race for anyone to try.
