Kevin, son of Loric 05-06-04, 11:04 AM	Ok, I did a search and couldn't find what I was looking for, so maybe some nice person will read this and enlighten me. First of all, what are all the ways to kill a vampire? As I understand it, only the following ways work: Immersion in running water for three rounds Beheading Wooden stake through the heart Destroyed through turning Exposure to two rounds of sunlight The vampire's innability to reach his coffin after being reduced to less than zero hitpoints Anything else will simply cause the vampire to assume gaseous form and attempt to escape. Is this correct? And now for my second question. When a vampire assumes gaseous form, all his equipment turns gaseous with him, right? So what happens if he is prevented from reaching his coffin within the time limit? Does he simply dissipate into the air? Would his equipment vanish with him? Hopefully, somebody out there can help me with this.

In the case of a vampire he will be destroyed and turn in to ashes. His equipment will also return to normal and will not be destroyed by this.
