For a creature to be cured of Vampirism, they must be the recipient of the Lesser Restoration or Greater Restoration divine ritual. If they received Lesser Restoration, then they must also receive two doses of a special potion; if they received Greater Restoration, then they only need to receive one dose. A creature may not benefit from both Lesser Restoration and Greater Restoration for the purposes of overcoming this infection. | For a creature to be cured of Vampirism, they must be the recipient of the Lesser Restoration or Greater Restoration divine ritual.

The potion consists of a blend of garlic and holy water. After grinding down and blending the ingredients, a creature must boil them together and then feed them to the infected creature while the liquid is still simmering. This deals 1d4 fire damage to the creature. | |||
To successfully make the potion, the creature blending together the ingredients may make a DC 14 INT check using the Alchemy or Medicine skills. A player that makes a compelling case for another skill (such as Arcana, Cooking, or Religion) may use it at the MC’s discretion, though using a different skill raises the DC to 16. | |||
A creature may only receive one portion of the treatment (Lesser Restoration or Greater Restoration, and the potion doses) at a time and must Take a Rest between each treatment.</blockquote><blockquote>'''Harkers:''' | |||

Once a hero becomes a vampire, the hero becomes an NPC. An NPC that becomes a vampire gains the stats of a Vampire Spawn or Vampire at the MC’s discretion.</blockquote><blockquote>'''Harkers:''' | |||
Once a creature becomes a vampire, if it is an NPC, apply the vampire template to them. Their particular strain of Vampirism is determined based on the vampires that bit them: | |||

If a hero becomes a vampire, they lose the most recent talent that they gained as a result of leveling up and gain the [[Vampire|Vampire Entry talent]]. The MC may allow the player to choose Draculean, Croftian, or Ancerran as their strain or may dictate that the hero’s strain is determined as though they were an NPC. | If a hero becomes a vampire, they lose the most recent talent that they gained as a result of leveling up and gain the [[Vampire|Vampire Entry talent]].
