Question: Would anybody find it out of theme to remove her Etheralness? I thought vampires should be staked through the heart etc., never pictured them as etheral. People found that etheralness was one of her big strengths when paired with her other abilities (not that it couldnt be added with a Robe of Shadows or Body Etheral).

This is an excellent idea, in my newbie opinion. Very in keeping with the traditional idea of vamps. While Dracula did have a "mistform" in the book and movies, this was more spell-like in nature, and not an always-on ability. When in a form able to hurt someone else, vamps themselves are usually all too corporeal in the literature.

Here is a third Version of the VQ mod:

Changed name to Spectral Queen
Removed regen, stealth, and vampire recruitment
Replaced life drain attack with bane blade
Raised HP to 30
Changed paths to 1 Death , 1 Astral

Tell me your thoughts.
