So, I've created an adventurer (Or is it..adventuree?) "The Man With No Name", he resides in a world called Xesormon. Xesormon has a vampire problem, it would seem. TMWNN has slain 7 vampires thus far, and each time; under the guise of research--He has partaken in the blood of the enemy. Be it from the floor, his sword, his own body, etc etc.
However; He has yet to attain his secret goal of immortality.





tldr; Why am I not a goddamn vampire?

High disease resistance can sometimes interfere with vampirism, IIRC.

What he said, or maybe just bad luck. There's a few times I've drank vampire blood and not obtained vampirism.

This has just happened to me seven times in a row, across the lives of two adventurers, both with average disease resistance. So annoying. I really wonder what causes it. The only thing I can think of is that the number of Vampire Curse Types (which should control how many random types/bloodlines of vampires a created at worldgen when Toady actually fleshes out vampires a bit more) does actually have a little bit of active code right now that occasionally throws up non-transmittable blood. Or some stupid bug.

I wonder, if disease resistance is a factor then would genning a adventurer with it turned down to the min eliminate the problem? I'll start doing this with future chars and report back.

Yeah, I've run into the same problem.  Drinking all +20 blood splatters off of this mutilated vampire corpse and getting zilch in vampirism.  Same with multiple adventurers in this world. I'm running out of vampires.  Just one left that I know of, a real brute with ~7000 kills that lives all alone in an otherwise abandoned city. Was hoping for the stats boost before trying to take him on.
