Creation Ī new vampire was created when another vampire drained the life out of a living creature. Vampires could not tolerate the smell of garlic and would not voluntarily enter an area with a strong odor of it. They were eternally bound to their coffins and the unholy earth where they were buried. A vampire could also command rats, bats, and wolves, or take the form of those creatures. Powers Ī vampire retained all the abilities it had in life, and it gained the ability to drain blood and life energy, and to dominate other creatures with its gaze.
If it was not evil in life, it became so in undeath. Vampires enjoyed fine things and engaging in decadent behavior, sharing such habits with liches.
They did not cast shadows and had no reflections in mirrors. A vampire looked very much like it did when alive, but with paler skin, hardened and feral features giving them a predatory aspect, and red eyes that were hard to forget.
