Undead (Vampire):
This race appears as a normal human, though his or her skin is rather pale, and he or she has prominent fangs.
Abilities: Explanation and rulings for Abilities:
Base Defense: 8.
Bite of the Vampire: Attacks per turn: 2 (bite, bite).
Damage: Bite: 1-D6, Bite: 1-D6 see: "Paralysis".
Note: Damage for the bite will increase by 1-D6 per 5 levels advanced above level #1, and are not considered as part of his or her normal attacks (i.e., a level 15 vampire bite will cause 1-D6 x3 damage).
Paralysis: When the Vampire's bite causes maximum damage, the victim must roll a 15+ or succumb to the effects of Paralysis, or become immobilized, paralyzed for its turn. While a victim is paralyzed, the Vampire will automatically drain 1-D6 x3 more life-points per turn, after which, again, a 15+ must be rolled in order to break free.
Note: While draining a victim, the Vampire's Defense will be reduced to ½ (rounded up). If struck while feeding, the Vampire must lower his or her defensive roll to ½ (rounded up) in order to evade the attack and keep the victim in a paralyzed, helpless state. If the Vampire wishes to keep the normal roll to evade, he or she may, but the victim must be released. See: "Blood Minion" if a creature is brought down to 0 life-points while feeding.
Special: The bite attacks of the Vampire are not considered with his or her normal attacks (these are extra if the Vampire so chooses to add them into the normal attacks each melee turn).
Blood Minion: If a creature is brought down to 0 life-points by the bite of a Vampire, it will become a Blood Minion, thus becoming a slave forever (only a creature that is under the immobilizing effects of Paralysis can become a Blood Minion. All stats of the creature taken down will be at 50% (rounded down). A Blood Minion is an undead.
