Vampirism and Lycanthropy Options

[Rizen]

I think it might be an interesting concept to allow characters to become infected with vampirism and lycanthropy. This means that a character has the possibility of becoming a vampire or werewolf. This would come about after someone is bitten by those respective creatures.

The main issues I could think of were for those who didnt want to be infected, and characters infecting other players. I think for players who dont want to be infected, there could be a short waiting period after being infected for the character to take a certain potion or get healed by a priest or something. Perhaps there could be a way to prevent characters from infecting one another when attacking, assuming some sort of PvP is integrated. Since that idea does rely on there being PvP, I wont focus as much on that.

Also, I suppose there should be a way to limit the number of people who become infected. First, it might not be very likely for someone to be infected. Vamps and wolves could either be powerful enough that n00bs couldnt just bump into them, get infected, and run away without being slaughtered. Or, they could just be in a place so far out that n00bs would never really be able to find them. It could also be possible to make it that the blow that infects the character is a critical one, so that weaker characters wouldnt be able to survive it.

Indeed, now I'm onboard with the vampire/werewolf ideas.

I too want them implamented, but as a double edged sword. Truely a curse and a blessing. I'd also like to see a small number of Vampires, ) Just because I got my butt kicked, licked, sucked and fu..eh..nvm, the point is, vampires can seduce and stuff, and that generaly got my characters dead in White Wolf. *nod nod*
