Vampire Overhaul (ver. 2, OP updated!)

Silver as a ore that you can get from mining would be nice. Just recolor gold.

I'd love for some more traditional vampire countermeasures too. In place of a crucifix, maybe the Bible could act as a kind of warding object? Like, a vampire starts to take damage by being within proximity to it?

Staking vampires would be fun too. Maybe instead of physical harm, stakes slow their movement down since traditionally they served a binding purpose.

Another suggestion. Thralls would be a lot more important in this situation since vampires can be resurrected. Being psychically linked with a special chat channel would be nice. Maybe have a remote viewing ability where they could observe each other.

I think holy symbols have a place, and I like the idea of the bible being a proximity damage object, though I think it should only extend to one tile next to it. Biblethumping should hurt a vampire too. Stakes are an interesting idea, I didn't include them because I felt that silver weaponry kind of covered it, but them being a slowing tool is interesting, however I don't think they should be readily available. Crucifixes would be a fun mask slot item and could provide defence against vampire bites.

Perhaps there should be an Anti-Supernatural Emergency Defence Crate that contains a bible, a crucifix, two stakes and the silver bullets for the detective's revolver, at a hugely expensive price so that people fight over who gets to wear the crucifix.
