Here's&lt;br&gt;the rundown.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This only pertains to RHYSER FAMILY VAMPIRES!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;1: You lose the armour skill&lt;br&gt;2: You get -10 to resistance&lt;br&gt;3: You get +20 to weaponry&lt;br&gt;4: You get +20 to attacking&lt;br&gt;5: You get a new innate ability called bloodthirst (see below).&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Firstly, please don't judge until we test this stuff. If it sux,&lt;br&gt;I'll fix it.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Bloodthirst is not a skill or ability in your skill list, it's&lt;br&gt;basically the same as the Phobos vampires casting 'dread'&lt;br&gt;auto in combat. Bloodthirst (BT here on out) is a measure of&lt;br&gt;how frenzied a Rhyser vamp is over the blood for a certain&lt;br&gt;target. As you do damage (WITH EACH STRIKE - multiple strikes&lt;br&gt;per round, remember) the damage done to the current target is&lt;br&gt;recorded. This is normalized so it's useful to lower level &lt;br&gt;vamps and it's also capped. This normalized number gives the&lt;br&gt;Rhyser vamps a boost to combat, basically up to about +50.&lt;br&gt;The boost goes up the more you fight that target, starting&lt;br&gt;small. On the way up (around +20 combat) the vampire begins&lt;br&gt;lapping up the blood of his victim, healing himself ON EACH&lt;br&gt;STRIKE. Yes, so that means like possibly 3 heals / strike.&lt;br&gt;After about +30 combat you start getting a chance of an &lt;br&gt;additional strike with each strike. At +30 combat it's not&lt;br&gt;a great chance, but by the time you max out at +50 combat it's&lt;br&gt;guaranteed. Yes, that means a Rhyser vampire that has been fighting&lt;br&gt;the same target a long time will be sitting at +50 combat, getting&lt;br&gt;6 strikes / round (3 regular, + 3 bonus), and healing himself a&lt;br&gt;bit on 3 of those 6 strikes (the bonus strikes don't give a &lt;br&gt;heal chance).&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;What's the catch? The instant you switch targets or your target&lt;br&gt;dies the boosts go away, they reset. So if you're fighing&lt;br&gt;Georgios and then switch to fight Lyssion, you're bonuses will&lt;br&gt;completely reset. This means in wars you're going to have to&lt;br&gt;be really crafty to not get attacked by a 2nd target (auto combat&lt;br&gt;hitbacks from enemy B while you hunt enemy A will reset your&lt;br&gt;bloodthirst for enemy B).&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Bloodthirst currently works in any form, but I may make it beast&lt;br&gt;only in the future - though I doubt many Rhyser vampires spend&lt;br&gt;time in forms other than beast anyway.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This is a funky change. In testing it definately works and it&lt;br&gt;definately causes you to build up damage and really start rocking&lt;br&gt;someone. Oh, just to give you an idea, it takes about 1000 damage&lt;br&gt;at level 19 to boost yourself to +50 combat. That's 1000 damage&lt;br&gt;vs that single target, never interrupted. One final thing, you&lt;br&gt;don't have to be in combat to keep your bloodthirst, as long as&lt;br&gt;your enemy is alive and you do not engage in combat in any OTHER&lt;br&gt;target you will still keep your bloodthirst for them.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Currently there's some debug printouts in bloodthirst that will&lt;br&gt;tell you when you get an extra strike, what your combat boost is,&lt;br&gt;and how much lapping up blood is healing you. This will be&lt;br&gt;removed in a week or so. Sorry if you think it's spammy, you &lt;br&gt;Rhyser vamps are gonna test it for me. :)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Please don't be quick to judge. I want Rhyser to be a powerhouse&lt;br&gt;fast damage machine. I want people to worry that they've been&lt;br&gt;in combat with you too much, the boosts they must be getting&lt;br&gt;from it. A mage will probably smoke you with the -resistance&lt;br&gt;and -armour, probably the same for getting ganged, you'll drop&lt;br&gt;like a cheap hooker. But if you can get a 1v1 hunt fest you'll&lt;br&gt;probably pwn.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;By the way - on the MUd testing level 19 vs 19 mob I generally&lt;br&gt;get to +50 combat towards the end of the battle... just to give&lt;br&gt;you an idea.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Enjoy, please send in bugs and give it time to digest.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; - Razan.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;[[Category:Changes_Board]]</div>
