Vampirism: Becoming a Vampire or Hunter
Vampirism lets you become a blood-drinking vampire or a vampire hunter, each a full progression path. This guide covers choosing and starting a side.
Becoming a vampire
You turn into a vampire after being bitten by one or by injecting vampire blood, which gives the Sanguinare Vampiris effect that eventually transforms you. As a vampire you gain speed, strength and night power but suffer in sunlight and no longer eat normal food — instead you drink blood to sustain yourself.
Becoming a hunter
Alternatively, you can take up the role of a vampire hunter and fight the mod's vampires instead of joining them. Hunters gain their own skills and equipment geared toward slaying the undead.
Levels and skills
Both paths progress through levels, unlocking a skill tree of powers suited to your role — vampiric abilities and weaknesses to manage on one side, hunting tools and combat perks on the other. Getting started means picking a side, then advancing your level to grow into the fantasy. Vampirism is a full RPG faction system layered onto survival, so choose the path that fits how you want to play.
