Thus it inherits all properties of the undead template, and also that of the parent race. However, the way vampires come into being, and the existence itself, are cardinally different from that of other undead monsters. The template sets the creature's resonance to dark.
  
 Unlike common higher undead, vampires have a demonic origin in the world. Although there is much speculation over specifics of their existence, academia is inclined to believe that true vampires come into existence when a succubus kisses the mortal it truly loves. Evidence is scarce as to whether vampires can share the curse with mortals. There are some stories of careless adventurers catching the curse as a disease, but vampirism is so rare that only a few have resources to study vampirism beyond theoretical speculations. Unlike common higher undead, vampires have a demonic origin in the world.

 For vampires, managing their hunger is an integral part of unlife. Some revel in the feast, but for others it is nothing but a constant source of stress and shame. For vampires, managing their hunger is an integral part of unlife.

 Vampires are not your little sister's crystalline brooding anti-heroes. Don't be mistaken: you play a truly alien monster whose motives and thinking has nothing to do with those that mortals share. Your primary goal will always be your own survival. Everyone gets an excuse to kill you because of who you are. Improper roleplay and carelessness will lead to your death. Vampires are not your little sister's crystalline brooding anti-heroes.

 A vampire's hunger is defined by her blood hunger parameter. A vampire's fast healing, str and cha stats, as well as will save will deteriorate as hunger increases. At its highest hunger, the vampire will receive -10 penalty to strength, charisma, will, and -4 to fast healing. The sun will also become deadly for her. To return to sanity, a vampire must satisfy her hunger by draining living victims. A vampire's hunger is defined by her blood hunger parameter.

-Daylight will always affect a vampire. If a vampire is found outside during the day, she looses her vampiric bonus to fast healing. If she is blood hungry, she will start flamelessly burning, which can become noticeable, although most of the people won't understand why it is happening.

 Hunger is tracked with the $B parameter found on the prompt and in <score>. You can saturate it with the <drain> command. Draining increases max hp points, and heals. Just one feeding is sufficient to reset saturation. Hunger is tracked with the $B parameter found on the prompt and in <score>. You can saturate it with the <drain> command.

 +players may attack you because of your race. You may not, however, attack a
