Soul Drain Trait

Deco · 05-16-2001, 11:58 PM

Has anyone ever found the Soul Drain trait? Where is it?
I plan in my next game to let one of my characters become a Vampire, and this trait would really come in hand since Vampire Bite does little damage.

And another question, is a vampire healed by regeneration? You can get armors to be blessed (or enchanted, I dont't remember) with this.

I think it's a Vampire trait, but danged if I know where you get it!

Vampires cannot be healed by regeneration, I think...only by biting people.

Is there any real advantage o being a Vampire in the game?
It's really strange that they implemented it and made it so difficult to carry through the game. There should be a reward for vampires. But again, maybe not!

im not quite sure whether this helps or not, so ...
just forget it if im talking bout something completely different.
there r 2 places i found so far, to turn your character into a vampire.
the 1st 1 is shurugeon castle. if u let the vampiress bite one of your
characters he/she gains the vampirism trait, nothing else.
the 2nd 1 in skull keep provides vampirism trait and a vampiric breath
or something. maybe ur looking for this 1 ?
and btw, dont wear the ring of vampires with a char thats not a vampire,
causes the game to crash (at least my pc chrashed as soon as i wore that
ring. always, i tried it several times)

Ark.

Deco - might be another case of things meant to be implimented and left out of the game. There have been a number of players who've played through with a vampire but it doesn't seem really worthwhile.

The patch fixes the vampire ring for everyone.

I know that I can get Vampirism at these places, but thanks Arknash.

How does a vampire ring bring any goodness to a vampire?
It's a regenarating item with some protections, same as a blessed armor for me.

Deco: With the patch installed, the Vampire Ring cures the "Bloodthirst" thing about losing HP when you're not drinking blood.

It also has some fantastic resistances on it as well.
