Default Re: Vampire Queen mod

Another well-received idea I suggested a long time back would be to make some "wooden stake" and perhaps other anti-vampire items and/or spells or rituals. Not currently moddable to make a specific anti-vampire or immortality-denying effect, though.

Succubbi also disdain body items, since they like to go nude, but seems to me a cloak would be a natural vampire type of item. Though, the body slot could be omitted and/or vampires could be given a built-in cloak item. With an interesting built-in cloak item, equipping armor might become less of a good deal. Personally I would tend to just reduce the combat skills of the VQ to achieve balance. Her powers make enough sense, but I don't expect her to also be a super-skilled warrior.

If one decided to strip her etherealness, I'd expect all the other vampire unit types to lose theirs too, or that wouldn't make much sense.

P.S. Seems to me another natural idea would be to lower vampires' magical resistance, since at least in film productions they tend to be susceptible to various silly countermeasures. However, it seems to be a Dom2 convention that all pretenders get MR 18 no matter what.
