Vampires do not consume regular food and are unfamiliar with thirst and hunger: they are tormented only by thirst for blood. This can be satisfied by drinking blood from the necks of victims or simply by killing them.

Format: bite victim

To bite a victim, you must first put them to sleep with vampiric touch. If the vampire is very hungry, he bites into the victim's throat with all his might, thereby waking her from sleep and initiating a fight. Otherwise, there is a chance not to awaken the victim and just make two neat little holes through which you can drink blood.

Whether the bite lands depends on your skill and level against the victim's level, and on your dexterity against theirs. It is easier when the room is dark, and harder against a flying or mounted victim. Haste helps whoever has it.

The bite restores the vampire's health and mana. Vampire bite wounds can fester with some probability.

A vampire cannot use drugs directly: smoke, powders and mushrooms mean nothing to him. A trace reaches him only through the blood of someone who took them.
