But yeah, I understand what you mean, would the transformation go faster if there was a sense of urgency in the situation? Like needing to fight, spending 10-15 seconds pulling off skin and growing fur aint doing any favours, especially against Vampires.

As I stated,a Werewolf would be able to manifest it's claws/fangs in nanoseconds and would always poses it's speed (even in human form) an partial strength.
So if a Wolf was attacked by a Vamp,even when in human form...it would still be capable of fighting/killing the vamp.

I would hope that if the hunters had a chance in killing a vampire that a werewolf in human form would also be able to kill a vampire, so the werewolve's claws are like a switchblade then.

@ Nachos..

Basically,think of Wolverines claws,only smaller.

The Hunters advantages are of course that they can move freely in daylight and are not hindered by the urge to eat everyone they encounter.
And they will also have access to "information networks" that the Werewolves and Vampires don't.

Of course,Hunters will not have the supernatural powers that Wolves and Vamps enjoy,so will have to be all the more clever when it comes to killing one,and Hunters run a bigger risk of entanglements with Law enforcement...

So Hunters have cellphones and technology as bonuses while the other two have super powers as bonuses right?

Hunter=Human with free reign during the day.
Werewolf= Mostly human, but has to keep it a secret.
Vampire= Creature with full reign of the night.

Werewolves are like a middle ground I guess, am I right?

But unlike wolverine, the claws come out the finger tips, right?

You forgot the key advantage hunters have over everyone else...

Not so much middle ground as an entirely different sort of beast.

Each type of character will have it's advantages and drawbacks.

Werewolves will be more physically powerful than vampires when they are completely transformed into Wolves,but will have less control over the "beast",they will retain a level of their human intelligence and cunning,but the Hunger will be very much a driving force in their actions.

Vampires will be helpless on their own during the Day,relying on some sort of guard or being very well hidden to protect them.
At night they are a major force to deal with,powerful and unless starving for blood, completely brilliant.

Hunters of course are humans,with access to various sources of information that neither a Vamp or Wolf will have ( a Hunter underground network so to speak),they have access to a variety of weapons and equipment to fight/protect themselves with,and of course can move about freely in both day and night.

Correct.

Oh goody, I was worried for a sec.

Surely vampires and werewolves will be able to use guns and the like as well, it's just that when it comes up and personal, in all chance, they'd go for the throat.

AmiRight?

Vampires and Werewolves will indeed be able to use guns/weapons IE..a Vampire might carry a silver dagger in case of Werewolf encounter,a Werewolf may carry a stake/bow & arrows for a Vamp...however the desire to "Go for the throat" would most likely win out in Vamp/Wolf combat....Particularly where the Werewolf is concerned as it will be equally fast and physically stronger than the Vampire.

Oh I just can't wait for this game now

+1

I just can't wait to use the matrix to access an unparalleled amount of weaponry, like a boomstick or chainsaw for a hand.

I can't believe it's not butter...


Oh wait...

I've already got a location for the RP in mind,as well as a basic rough story idea (of course the story will grow along with the RP).
I've also got a rough Character sheet outline,and am currently working on a fair way to do Character Combat..

If all goes well,the RP itself should start next week.

Setting: A desolate landscape thriving with people trying to survive. It was once a metropolis proud of its creations but now lacks the ability to support life productively. It was once known as "The Motor City".

Combat: The RPers find each other in real life and rochambeau to resolve conflicts.

..Actually your damn near spot on concerning the location...The main city will indeed be a once prosperous Metropolis that has fallen into economic hard times,crime,homelessness and abandoned businesses will factor in greatly.

As for Combat...Your idea made me laugh..but..No..

I have a question! Can vampires feed off of people without making them into Vampires themselves?

That's why its a good idea, it makes you laugh and makes us cry.

ghosty wrote:I have a question! Can vampires feed off of people without making them into Vampires themselves?

Yes...Vampires kill their victims when they feed (if they choose to) and the victim doesn't return as a a Vampire.
A Vampire has to make the decision to create a "Child" and then Drains his/her victim to near Death,then has the victim drink his/her blood...this is how new Vamps are created.

Hmmm...you have a point there..

ghosty wrote:I have a question! Can vampires feed off of people without making them into Vampires themselves?

That's the way it worked in Elder Scrolls 4. Although they also worked backwards from other traditional vampire ideas. If you didn't drink blood your strength and night vision increased but you took more damage from the sun. If you drank blood you took less damage from the sun but were also weaker and couldn't see as well in the dark.

In the RP I'm working on...all Vampire strength is directly linked to consumption of blood,the more Human blood a Vamp consumes...the stronger it becomes.
However,this will have it's drawbacks as well, If a Vamp feeds on a single Human a week...it will have to feed on at least one human a week to maintain it's regular strength/power..if it feeds on five humans a week..then it will get weaker if it doesn't feed at least five times a week and so on...and remember...the more it feeds...the more attention it will draw to itself from the Hunters.

So their will be both pros and cons to feeding a lot for Vamps.

Blood, the new cocaine.

halonachos wrote:Blood, the new cocaine.

Once again your spot on..

For Vamps Blood is like a drug...it increases their powers/sustains them/is their main joy...but having to go with out it will drive them to madness/weaken them to near death.

For Wolves...Human flesh is their drug...though it doesn't increase their powers,their desire to consume it is much like alcoholism/drug addiction...and if they deny the "beast" it's desire for flesh...they will eventually go berserk...losing all human control until they feed.

Hunters just want Bacon Double cheeseburgers..

Hunters want this:


Not to mention:



Meanwhile the werewolves can smoke their flesh while the vampires inject their blood.

..Royal Crown Cola...Dude...I love that stuff..I swear it's better than Coke or Pepsi by a mile.
...And of course I'd trip a Nun to get to a good BBQ sandwich.

No no NO!

This is a cheeseburger fighting over:



And agreed. Royal Crown Cola kicks ass!

So we have a backstory now. The werewolves control the BBQ sandwich/cheeseburger factory while vampires control the RC cola factory.

The hunters are there to kick ass and eat sandwiches while drinking RC Cola, but they're all outta sandwiches and cola.

See...the story almost writes itself...

This is terrible. Now I really want some BBQ and RC Cola, but I have to go to the gym later tonight... terrible dilemma.

Damnit dakka.

Anyways I can't wait for the serious story and such Fitzz.

Oh got my char almost ready, she hates vamps for a personal reason and ghosty wolfs for the heck of it.
