12-04-06, 03:41 PM Sorry if this is a repeat of an old question (and I am sure it is) but is there any game mechanic for curing vampirism. I have a busy week and any help locating a source on this issue would be helpful (even something in any 2ed sources will be helpful). If there is nothing out there, feel free to make suggestions. I appreciate all of the input. Thank you very much.

12-04-06, 06:03 PM Sorry, as far as I know, nothings there. The only method I have heard of before (in the movies anyway) is to kill the head vampire (the one that made the victim a vampire) before the victim drinks any blood, then they return to normal.

This should prevent you from becoming a vampire. As for a creature that is already a vampire, I think the only way is to kill the head vampire.
