would it be possible to mod in a race were everyone born into it has most or all of the benefits and abilities that vampires have?

[BlackFlyme]

Just about all of them can be done in the creature's raws alone.

I believe the only things that cannot be done in the creature raws would be making them not age and making them sterile.

[than402]

both of them can be done. the not-aging can be done through a token (or simply not putting a MAXAGE) and the sterile can be done through a self targeted interaction.

[BlackFlyme]

Even without a MAXAGE they will still age. Though it won't matter much, unless you make it noticeable, like graying hair or wrinkling skin. The only other alternative for no-aging is an interaction, but the interactions won't be used in world-gen, so breeding and aging would still occur normally.

[ClorrProdigal]

What about blood sucking? Can you make a reaction for that? Can that reaction transmit the vampire syndrome?

[BlackFlyme]

There is a creature tag called BLOODSUCKER.

I don't know about having the curse continue through feeding though.

Reactions are different than interactions. Reactions are jobs performed at workshops, while interactions are things such as creature abilities, god-given secrets/curses, and freakish weather.

[ClorrProdigal]

Sorry I meant to say interactions. So with the proper combination of tags it should be possible though? What about the heightened atributes?

[BlackFlyme]

You can alter the base attribute ranges of creatures. There are tags for both physical and mental stats. It would just be a matter of doubling the strength, agility, and toughness of whatever your base race is.

Most creatures lack these tokens, and instead default to preset values, but the main races have these tokens. For example, this is a dwarf's attribute range:

Code: [Select]

[PHYS_ATT_RANGE:STRENGTH:450:950:1150:1250:1350:1550:2250] +
[PHYS_ATT_RANGE:AGILITY:150:600:800:900:1000:1100:1500] -
[PHYS_ATT_RANGE:TOUGHNESS:450:950:1150:1250:1350:1550:2250] +
[MENT_ATT_RANGE:ANALYTICAL_ABILITY:450:950:1150:1250:1350:1550:2250] +
[MENT_ATT_RANGE:FOCUS:700:1200:1400:1500:1600:1800:2500] ++
[MENT_ATT_RANGE:CREATIVITY:450:950:1150:1250:1350:1550:2250] +
[MENT_ATT_RANGE:PATIENCE:450:950:1150:1250:1350:1550:2250] +
[MENT_ATT_RANGE:MEMORY:450:950:1150:1250:1350:1550:2250] +
[MENT_ATT_RANGE:SPATIAL_SENSE:700:1200:1400:1500:1600:1800:2500] ++
Any unlisted attribute will default to preset values.

[ClorrProdigal]

Why thank you. Now to work!

[Lukander]

They might be able to use(in worldgen) an interaction provided it is a custom SECRET(with SUPERNATURAL_LEARNING); and they have the [SUPERNATURAL] tag along with the SECRETS associated [SPHERE:'FOO'] tag. Have the 'automatically' known secret bestow the vampiric effects(especially [NO_AGING] and [STERILE]).

[Meph]

It should be possible, yes. If you do this, all undeads are friendly to you, too. So you can embark on necromancer towers or tombs and get some free defense.

[Raidau]

Interesting idea if BLOODSUCKER creatures can properly form civilizations, please inform about your testing results

[Meph]

They can. I tried a few things with bloodsucking castes, when I was designing my undead/warlock race. Initially vampires were part of it, but the micromanagement in fort mode was too much.

[deepspaceprobe9]

You can make an interaction spread through attack, just take a look through the werebeast interaction
