Vampires, the favored of Armok?
« on: September 16, 2012, 12:17:04 pm »
Alright, this was an odd question, but it just kind of popped into my head when I realized that I accidentally consumed water tainted with the blood of a Vampire Bandit.

By feasting upon the blood of others, is my Dwarf Adventurer committing a crime against Armok, or...

I'm trying to figure out how creeping eyes vomit despite not having a mouth.

I say they are blessed by Armok. My adventurers willingly partake in the blood of the Vampire to join their ranks, and in doing so, become nigh-unstoppable hunters and killing machines. They fear no man, nor beast, and provide Armok with countless displays of bloodsport. And when they are discovered feeding, they become hunted by many, and must spill the blood of innumerable foes in order to guarantee their own safety. What else could Armok, the Blood God ask for?

Perhaps... But I have one yet to not fear a Were-beast.

They are accursed, doomed to leech off blood from the sleeping. This is not bloodshed, this is blood lost.

They are cursed by gods. Other gods do not mind. Armok is an Other God. Therefore Armok does not mind vampires being cursed. Therefore vampires are not beloved by Armok.

Armok is an equal opportunity diety. He has no favourites, for those favoured by Armok would eventually dominate and exterminate all species, leading in no more blood being shed. (Or at least a serious reduction in variety.)

So year, add an option, Armok doesn't care or something.

Also, the mandatory I only came here to vote a random thing option.
