Character Bio - A vampire is a human being who has died but has been resurrected by specific supernatural means and possesses a variety of supernatural abilities and specific limitations, most notably to frequently ingest fresh blood in order to maintain their own existence. Most people that become vampires quickly find themselves unable to resist the all consuming craving for blood. They quickly degenerate into cruel and animalistic hunters of ordinary human beings, even if these new vampires had been kind and sensitive people in their mortal lives.

SUPER STRENGTH

[IAmBatman]

Looks good!

[Margloth]

I wouldn't mind seeing the stats go up. Vampires should be relatively tough and reasonably expensive IMHO.

[quozl]

I wouldn't want to go higher than 4/4. These are just minions.

Let's poll it:

A. Keep Attack/Defense at 3/3
B. Change to 4/3
C. Change to 3/4
D. Change to 4/4
E. Something else

[tcglkn]

D for me.

[SirGalahad]

It hasn't been up for even 2 hours yet. The breathing period is 48 hours, and you already have a poll up for changes?

BREATHE

[johnny139]

I'd go with B. Based on the mini choice, they seem like pretty feral vampires - strong bite, not too concerned with defense.

Speaking of miniature, how would you feel about mixing in some HorrorClix vampires if we can get pictures of them? I think this is one of the few chances we could get three different sculpts for a squad and should take advantage of that, even though most people will probably buy the cheap Vampire Lackey from HeroClix.

Here's a link to a bunch of vampires if you're interested:

Candy Striper
Razorvixen (R/E/V) - I'd like to make these three into a Unique Squad, though.
Vampire Enforcer
Vampire Roustabout
Blood Vamp
Morgana

It wouldn't hurt to ask for any of them, at least, y'know?

[quozl]

The only two I really like from those are the Enforcer and the Roustabout but the Roustabout doesn't look that much like a vampire and the Enforcer would make a better vampire lord (maybe even Dracula).

[Red Eyed Jedi]

I like B myself.

[johnny139]

Actually, the Enforcer and Roustabout were my two choices, too. I'd like to see them used (in conjunction with the Minion) because, like I said, when else would we have a chance to use three unique sculpts? But I'll leave that up to you.

Also, that wimpy looking Enforcer for Dracula? You're absolutely mad.

[quozl]

Did we find a better mini for Dracula? I forget....
