Random Vampire Thought - Coffin

Uh, haven't tried this, and don't expect it to work, but what if you give your vampire a coffin... will it reform?

Nope. Dead dwarves are dead dwarves, regardless of if they be vampires or werebeasts or necromancers.

It would be brutally difficult and probably won't work. In other words, it's absolutely dwarven!

Nope! There're a reason it's a curse from deities, it sticks around. Same for werecreatures :D

Put your vampire in a box with a few year's worth of clothings and a chair and table to bookkeep!

Though something of interest is that were-creatures that were slain in beast form transform into their own humanoid selves when the moon ends. Still dead though, but pretty cool.

A little sad too.

So yes, Coffins will only bore the hell out the vampires, they will just lie there forever, waiting for someone to let them out. Not that you can put them in there.

I dunno, I'd imagine they'd be pretty happy with coffins, it's something shinier than the floor, and if it's a tomb, extra storage space for cloaks and socks :D

They might admire the coffin if it has a high quality level, but that would be more of a Dwarf thing than a Vampire one.

websim.ai is coming dangerously close to being able to run Gridhood. Maybe I'll live to see the day if I exercise, eat right, and somehow convince the world's governments not to nuke everyone.
