patches and Item idea

[Annatar]

I will use the BAM file of the wooden stake but I'll use BAMworkshop to give it a red/black like coat.

I vampire will not be killed with a insta-kill, their is always the chance that you miss the heart (the place were the bolt must be placed for the vampire to disintergrate), so giving the vampire a save vs death (-2) should be fair enough.

Though it still needs some work and efford (Don't even think about stealing this project Vedran [img]tongue.gif[/img] ) if I want to compleetly sure that it is bug free and compatible with the game.

What? I've already finished it...
Heh, heh, heh [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img] .
I would never dream of stealing your work, this item is yours. (But I'll do the next one... )

[Annatar]

Your serious about that you already finished it?

If so, get it on your site because I didn't got time left to work on it today (got a hassle with school )

I'll probably fix it tomorrow, there isn't any hurry I think.

Making the vampire have a saving throw against the stake-bolt insta-death effect would be the most realistic.

After all a vampire needs to be staked in the heart to die. If the stake-bolt just hit him in the leg nothing serious would happen.

Sweet. I was wondering when somebody would do this.

In PnP, Undead Hunters can use crossbows because they can fire stakes. It is instakill for vampires, no save, no hope. Well, for lesser vampires.

Stakes have a considerably reduced range but strike with huge damage against all creatures, including undead. IIRC stake damage is 3d4.

Nice work mod folks [img]smile.gif[/img]

What about:
There is something magical about this stake.When you first found it,you thought that was just a piece of sharp wood. Then once when you fought a Vampire by name Thosulas, a mystirious man appeard. He had the teeth and the strenght of a Vampire,but he was able to walk in the daylight. When you defetead Thosulas the man told you that his name is Blade. He was a Vampire hunter and devoded his life to find his mother. Once the most powerful Vampire of them all attacked him and you saved him.You deliverd one powerful strike in the heart of your enemy and the Vampire vanished. The stake started to turning blue. Then he told you that this is The Stake of The Darkness...you never saw him again.

Seems to me it should only Insta-Kill on a Critical Hit - after all, how much more Critical can you get than a Heart-Shot? [img]smile.gif[/img]

Still, if you go with a Save vs. Death, I'd say make it do minimal damage vs. non-Vampires (Stakes aren't exactly aerodynamic, after all), but with the added power of possibly Insta-Killing Vampires (much like Shazzellim kinda sucks but can Insta-Kill Bards or Harbinger has the mostly useless ability to Insta-Stone Ogres).

Oh sure, make a history while I have easter break now. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
But on reflection, it should cause instant death on critical, its more sensible that way
But how's this for a history?

Vampire hunters, as all know, stake the resting vampire, but Vladmire, nicknamed the Impaler, adjusted the holy stakes to be able to be shot at vampires, thus staving vampires away from him. With the now stake bolts, he hunted the vampires until he met ruin, with the remaining bolts being stowed away...
