Questions for Kamifuko.

1) Is it any religious/holy item that hurts vampires? That really doesn't make much sense. The priest of the Goddess of Kindness and Love beat off a vampire with a holy item, then later the same vampire is beaten off by the preist of the God of Death and Evil.

Vampires originally are only weak against holy items because they are a bane/evil made by the devil.

2) Vampire shape shifting, yes or no?

Also,

Cloak lined with leather on the inside, hood, leather clothing beneath that. Very little light will get through. That, and my vampire is 2584 years old (Around that), he can look at a stray beam of light in the eye and it won't burn, just hurt (Since he will then instantly move his head).

1) Yes, but it depends.

and there is NO Catholic church in this world, and there are MANY good religions which fulfill the functions of such a church, which doesn't change anything as I have just showed you....

I think that DB covered it pretty well.

2) Still not entirely sure...sorry, I'm trying to think about it.

[Dragonsbane]

lets put it this way.........sunlight on vampire skin is like a match on oil, only you dissolve into dust instead of exploding.......

also, I already explained how that works in an earlier post........an evil cleric's Unholy Weapon (if they're evil, it's unholy......lets just keep things simple) might not affect a vampire the same way because it isn't a Holy weapon (don't get into semantics here, I'm using these terms for simplicity only. For all intents and purposes, anything sacred to an evil being is Unholy, and anything sacred to a good being is Holy). This is also why their holy symbols have a different effect.

[edit] if it's just a bat or a wolf, then I'm fine with it.......neither is particularly twinked, and neither is a good idea during the day (fur doesn't count as clothing, and won't protect you from the sun)

the real issue might be whether or not vampires can fly....

1) How does that explain why many different religions all see one type of vampire as an evil/bane? Using the real world, a Catholic vampire isn't going to be affected by anything a Buddist does, or a Muslim, or some other religions.

2) Just say yes.


Edit - It doesn't reach his skin, that is the point. That, and the sunlight weakness gets weaker and weaker as the vampire gets older.

You might not really get it unless you read the sign up thread...this is turning into a debating thread.

[Dragonsbane]

look, this isn't the real world! And only having one specific kind of person who can kill you is godmoding, whether you realize that or not. The monotheistic nature of real-life religions is why this isn't such a problem in real life (besides the fact that vampires, if they do exist, are very very rare). This world (in the RP) has MANY religions, and there's no way that only one of them can kill your particular type of vampire.

[edit] IHMN, then you may have to reduce your age.......negating your greatest weakness is also godmoding.

Shall I go back and read it? I'm all for descussing vampires but I also am trying to get Dragonsbane's attention.

[Dragonsbane]

what for, QQ?
