[quote=@thewizardguy] Nice speech. [quote=@Silent Observer] I was in no way suggesting a 'get out of jail for free' just merely a substitution of weaknesses for vampires from cultures that did not have Christianity. For example: Mo could be especially weak to wood and running water, as her religion revolved around nature/shamanistic beliefs. Just a suggestion. But as Shik stated, if these items don't really effect elder vamps as much, it shouldn't be a huge deal for my character anyway. [/quote] Stakes come from far before Christianity, the idea being that certain beings could only be slain with the branches of particular trees. The tree in question varied often, and occasionally there were other requirements such as the application of goat's blood, or dead man's blood. So the stake thing should still affect you. And the holy water thing is a rather significant deal, due to the nature of my character. [/quote] I think Silent was talking about stuff like crucifixes and holy water. Not stakes (since stakes are typically wood and she mentioned that as a weakness). And I personally don't like religion taking part in supernatural weaknesses, but if that's what we all wanna do, I'm fine with it.
