	Ancerran, Croftian, and Draculean vampires each have different strengths and weaknesses. Ancerran vampires tend to possess a bestial cunning, but are vulnerable to running water. Croftian vampires are especially skilled at commanding fiends, but they are vulnerable to silver. Draculean vampires, however, are objectively the strongest of the three, as Dracula’s synthesized form of [[Vampirism]] deliberately stripped away the impurities of Ancerran Vampirism, resulting in a pure, powerful strain.

	Vampires are incredibly difficult to truly [[kill]]. When a [[vampire]] dies at night, its body dissolves into mist and floats back to its ancestral soil. If it reaches its soil before dawn, then it solidifies back into its vampiric form and returns to its semblance of life fully revived at dusk the following evening. Killing a vampire during the day prevents the vampire from turning into mist and returning to its ancestral soil until nightfall, which makes permanently killing it significantly easier.

	Aside from possessing formidable battlefield prowess, vampires are also very charismatic and madly driven by their own goals.

	Before Dracula’s unique strain of Vampirism, the vampires of Ancerra constantly had to seek out blood or risk shriveling into gaunt, bestial versions of themselves. These failed vampires resemble common, garden-variety [[zombies]] at a distance: Their flesh is rotting, they shamble with a staggering gait, and they often make guttural, hungry noises. Once such a creature closes in, however, the victim may notice the “zombie’s” sharp fangs or bloodred eyes. By the time they see these details, it may already be too late.

 === Vampire Spawn ===
 When a creature is turned into a Vampire, it must survive for a variable period of a few months to a few years before it gains full vampiric power. In this interim time, it is known as a Vampire Spawn. Vampire Spawn are generally quite loyal to the Vampire that sired them, and even after Vampire Spawn grow into full Vampires they may remain in collaboration with or subservience to their progenitor.
