Proposal: Simplify vampires by removing bloodless state
Remove bloodless, give vampire rC+ , rN+++ and rTorm in any state, so the difference between thirsty and full will be rPois, regen, stealth, bite and forms.
- No-regen is stupid and annoying, Vampires are not dwarves (who have heal wound ability to compensate no-regen) and can not play without resting. (well under certain circumstances clearing spider without blood in one attempt is real, but overall it is not)
- Dwarves already have no-regen, so there is a huge thematic overlap with them
- Branches such as spider, tomb, ice cave, slime pits, crypt and whole extended are VERY tedious without kiku, clearing spider requires 2-4 attempts (and searching for blood in a different branch inbetween) depending on char strength, and clearing tomb...well...its easier to just forget about golden rune...
- Extended without kiku is a freaking torment
- Blood problems are forcing player to pick kiku/makh if he wants to play vp comfortably
- Situations when you are low on blood and hp (so you have no choice but to wait for passerby on a cleared floor) are annoying
- Whole blood management is still overly complicated and hard to grasp to new players
