Vampire Engraver

Have any of you experimented with vampire engravers?

Are their carvings any more morbid than the typical engraver's?

Do they make engravings of their recent kills?

I dont think being a vampire affects engraving. It would be hilarious if they made depictions of their murders while they still insist it was catten mccheese doing.

Pretty sure engraving is based on the personality of the dwarf. Stuff like being traditional and whatnot.

I guess they'd have a lot more history to pull from, so you could get the megabeast slaughter of 200 years ago in an engraving. But regular engravers already do that... maybe vamps do it to a greater extent?

Vamps are likely to be from a far-off place, and so may give you some unique engravings of the area they're from.

However, they get all slow and stuff as they go a while without booze, unless you've modded that out of them; and that may affect the quality as well as the speed of the engravings, I'm not sure.

False. Even in vanilla, vampires are only slowed by thirst for blood, not for booze.
