Only vampires I know of that can have offspring are also sparkly when in sunlight...

*KILLS SPARKLY VAMPIRES BECAUSE THEY ARE THE WORST VAMPS*
Also if those are the only vampires that you know of that can have children you don't know enough about vamps

Well, I wouldn't assume that the vampire settling in a petty fledgling fort like the players fort is one of the original first generation vampires.
Nor would I assume vampires trying to hide out in the players fledgling fort would risk creating a hybrid offspring with powers to detect, hunt down, and destroy vampires.

Vampirism is a disease. You can't be half-disease. All children of a vampire should just be full vampires. Also this is about CAN, not WILL.

I'm talking about mythology, folklore and cult-status fiction.
What are you talking about?

I'm saying that they don't have to implement half-vampires.

Technically vampirism is a curse, both in Dwarf Fortress as well as in most fiction, mythology and folklore.

First, something can be a curse and disease at the same time.
Second, same thing, you can't be half-curse.

Uhhh...

[Shonai_Dweller]

You kind of can be "half-cursed". That is, your bloodline is cursed but the curse only manifests itself every couple of generations, or only in seventh sons or [insert procgen requirement here].

Well, I guess that's not what everyone was talking about, but I think I lost track of that somewhere.

Uhhh...

I know that dhampirs are a THING. I'm just saying they don't need to be added.

We'll be getting procedurally generated magic in 2 years. Dhampirs could be a thing by chance, especially in the more vanilla worlds (magic sliders will be a thing).

[Miles_Umbrae]

Uhhh...

Exactly what I was referring to.
