Vampire quality of life proposal

1. No more potions of blood

2. Can switch between living form, undead form and bat form at the cost of draining and exh

3. Draining bite instead of satiating bite

Reasoning:

Makes vampires a lot less tedious and eliminates the need to do things like scavenge through the whole dungeon, lair and lair branches in search of blood.

Switching forms is still restrictive and can't just be done willy nilly.

Only if switching FROM bat form isn't penalized.

Re: Vampire quality of life proposal

You already have to fight a few monsters to go from undead to living currently. Now you just dont have to press c and e while doing so.

If wanting to make this merely an interface change, just have draining only happen on change from dead or bat form to living, and use exh to prevent fast repeated switching like what having to press "5" or quaff does currently
