#3 veltharis_ap_rylix Jun 18, 2009 18:17:49	I suspect that, beyond the taste and texture of the blood in question, it'd be no different than normal. Perhaps a aasimar's blood has a peculiar "holy" taste to it that a vampire finds unappetizing, whereas a hezrou tanar'ri's might be quite literally foul and an alu-fiend/succubus's might be so tantalizing as to actually draw you back for more (right into her embrace. ).
#4 lastard Jun 18, 2009 18:45:55	Yeah, I wondered about the 'holiness' thing being maybe a bit dangerous to the vampire. And the daemonic aspect... I always thought of Vampires as being Baator-affiliated rather than Abyss-affiliated. Or am I wrong there? Just thought they might find daemonic blood repelling or even toxic...
#5 veltharis_ap_rylix Jun 19, 2009 10:04:38	I don't believe vampires have an affiliation to any plane in particular (apart from the normal Undead <=> Negative Energy thing), so unless the vampire in question has ties to the baatezu (immortal servant of an archdevil, for example, or the "victim" of a faustian pact using undeath to try and cheat the Lords of Nine out of his soul) or the tanar'ri (a cultist of Orcus "favored" with undeath), I think it would simply be a matter of personal preference. One vampire might find the blood of an aasimon revolting, whereas another might delight in feeding upon the servants of the divine...

#7 redjade Sep 30, 2009 18:10:36	this came up recently in a game and I also have question, in the descriptions of a vampire it says " SUSTAINED BY A TERRIBLE CURSE AND A THIRST FOR MORTAL BLOOD, vampires dream of a world in which they live in decadence and luxury, ruling over kingdoms of mortals who exist only to sate their darkest appetites." so I took that to mean any creature that specifies another state (i.e. immortal )would have no benefit to a vampire or dhampyr. Am I wrong?  Thoughts anyone
