Sorry if this has been discussed before, I'm new to the forums.

I was playing adventure mode the other day and was fighting a vampire. I accuse him and his icon goes from human to vampire. I plant my sword firmly in his skull and drink the blood off of it so I can eat some people too. To my suprise, it said "You drink the human blood"

I look and all of this vampire's innards strewn across the room are marked human even though I clearly saw him reveal himself as a vamp.

Been a while since I played adventure mode, but I don't think you get a special message when drinking vamp blood. Try drowning yourself (swim under a bridge or other covered area) to see if you still need to breath (of course, if you still do, you could die). Or, you could try feeding on an unconscious person.

isn't vampirism displayed by name like the necromancer symbol? if not he might be bugged somehow or another kind of night creature

It'll read as human blood, but you should turn into a vamp. Sometimes you don't though, I think it's a bug with vanilla DF regarding historical figure status. Anyhow, the best way to tell is to fast travel around a bit and see if you get THIRSTY, if you do, you're a vamp, congrats, enjoy the 2x increased physical attributes.

Thanks, I figured it out. Must be hit or miss whether you get vampirism or not because the next vamp I came across worked for me.

I just killed a vampire, drank his blood and completely failed to turn. I checked legends mode, and there's no mention of me drinking any cursed blood. Is vampirism just completely crapshoot in 0.34.11, or is there some kind of pattern to it?

 accuse him and his icon goes from human to vampire.

[Putnam]

Yes, but the vampire is still a human. It's not a transformation, it's literally adding a syndrome to the blood, adding a title after "human", changing the tile, and some tag/attribute changes.

Im pretty sure Human Vampires are still Human. Vampirism is an affliction. It isnt like being a Werebeast.

Being a werebeast functions pretty much the same.

No--bestianthropy actually transforms you around the full moon into a different creature entirely. Vampirism never has you undergo a transformation.

[Loud Whispers]

And for the majority of your time as a were-creature, it functions pretty much the same. Even if you die a werebeast, come the waxing moon the body transforms back into the base creature, as with the identifying tags.

[Soadreqm]

Vampirism never has you undergo a transformation.

It makes your teeth grow when you're drinking blood. Not quite as drastic as turning into a horrible beast, admittedly.

[Putnam]

That's not a transformation, it's a bodypart size change. Transformation is turning into a completely different creature/caste.
