At the moment, vampire plays like "changeling but also wizard"
this is really boring and it isn't much different from what we already see; monsters that stun and eat you alone, or fuckers with the power to stun then vanish
Vampires in mythology and modern writing e.g. World of Darkness or whatever are very different, none of this stare-at-you-across-a-room stun glare shit, so I propose a bit of a change to stray from the usual stun-based gameplay
- No fucking stunglare jesus don't we have enough ranged homing stun antagonists already
- Vampire Speed makes you move like you've taken meth for a short burst, quick recharge, available instantly
- Vampire Stalking removes red alerts of you interacting with someone for a little while, no bite message or bonked-with-a-toolbox alerts, just dead silence
- Vampire Thrall available earlier, thralls must drink their vampire master's FRESH blood or lose their connection. Maybe a 20 minute timeframe? 2 thrall limit? idk
- Bats, Phase Shift, Scream, Conciousness Overwhelm etc can all stay, I haven't played vampire in a while but I think they could be a much higher blood cost
Vampire should be about gathering a herd, moving quickly and silently and hunting, draining blood on the sly and not about instantly stunning dumbos across the room and standing still over their body for 2 minutes until they die
