The NONofficial Vampire Thread

Vampires would be a great new Species/Kingdom, you would have to ask the lead Vampire to become a Vampire, so people couldnt make themselves vampires just for the advantages, maybe they would have to wear their (Vampire) tag to use the advantages of the race, like the Zormites. their tag would signify that they are in Lethal mode, but if they take off their tags, their weaknesses would still work. Vampire Coffins would be in the Graal Crypt, which would probably be somewhere in the mountain near Bogenera.

Strengths of the vampires Include: Faster Ground Travel(Vampires are very agile), bite attack that would deal 2 hearts damage, a freeze attack that would pin players for like 2 seconds (Vampires have a dominating gaze and use it so they can use their bite attack), They would have Bat or Rat Form, They would have a reversed AP system(The More they kill, the faster their ap goes up, the less they kill, the weaker they get), and they would have an NPC that turns them Invunrable and they will go gaseous(they will turn into a green cloud)when they reach 0 hearts, but they make do nothing until they heal, and they would stay dead on the ground for 3 second before they turn to gas

Weaknesses of the Vampires Are: Cant be out between 6:00am and 9:00, they are frozen for 2 to 3 seconds if someone shows a holy symbol, other players can get a stake(not Steak) to hammer into the vampire to kill him(players will need a holy symbol to freeze a vampire to kill him, or they can bring him down to 0 hearts and hit him with the stake), they can only heal in their coffins(emphasis on THEIR), there would be a bottle NPC that players can catch Vampire Essences in bottles and sell em to people, or ransom them back to the Vampires(though the Vampires will probably be very angry with the player), Vampires will not be aloud in the water and they will certainly not be aloud to dive, Vampires pushed into the water will lose 1/2 a heart a second until they get to land, and if a player destroys the vampires coffin the vampire goes to 0 AP and stays there until the Vampire can get another coffin, and if a vampire is killed he goes to 0 AP(In Essence, he lost all his power and must regain it players who are made Vampires gain the dissadvantages imeadietly unless they obtain a very rare magical plant(which only grows in a Baddy Lair) that will DeVampirize them.

Anyone that would like to give more details is please asked to, but dont just say how bad of an idea this is, because I realize that many will think it is.

You forgot decapitation and a neat custom death animation.

I like it but, not the water part there would be no way to get to some places Water divides g2k1

yeah, but how would you decapitate someone on graal, you would need need something like a Vorpal sword or something of that type, and though it seems that water seperates half of graal, you can goto the north and get to anywere on the map, and if you can were a risk taker, you could swim across the water at the thinner points of the river

When a vampire gets killed, their head goes flying off, and they explode or crumble to dust or skeletonize or something definitively vampirey, instead of spinning around and falling down like humans do.

A cross between a RP Kingdom and another race? It could work...their system bars them from using lightblue, pink, purple, yellow, lightgreen or green colors, maybe restricts them to certain heads, or they have a "hat" which is a semitransparent overlay of light skin and dark hair....or maybe that'd be overkill...
Attack with swords, special attack bite (yes, the usual stupid bite.gani method, not hard to do), must be done in close range, uses the new triggeraction command to bite a human, taking a heart from them and giving it to the vampire...AP reversal's blocked, so no dice there...but you can only become a vampire by joining, signing up to RP, then you have to go to the central chamber, the Elder Vampire must be in attendance to authorize it, they or another vampire bites you until you're down to your last heart, then when the Elder Vampire triggers it (fires a special NPCW) you gain bite, and are turned. Have to feed to build up your strength, maybe Vampires don't take bite damage in the room, maybe Bite doesn't work on vampires outside that room too.

Not hard to script, hard to execute well.

durn... well, the reverse ap thing is needed that much, but there will have to be a penalty for "good" vampires, cuz you cant have good vampires runnin around, I thought of something that would be cool, If the Vampire has a hat or sunglasses on(I havent decided what kind of hat though) and they are out during the day, they take 1 damage a minute.

Tyhm · #7 05-11-2001, 05:19 AM

Maybe they have to bite at least once an hour or take damage?

Rekad · #8 05-11-2001, 05:41 AM

yeah, and I was thinkin, should they be able to bite 100 ap people?

Tyhm · #9 05-12-2001, 08:45 AM

Only if the bite.gani thing takes a bit longer than swinging a sword....if it freezes you for a few seconds, sure.

Rekad · #10 05-13-2001, 11:38 AM

yeah, and the bite can only happen if the players are like right besid each other, and there will be a bite-hit.gani and bite-miss.gani the bite miss will leave the vampire open for like 2 seconds cuz he lunges out at nothing and hits the ground, its gonna be cool
