Created the page, but all of the information comes from a quick source dive or from other spoilers on the wiki. As such, I'd appreciate verification on a few things in the article from someone who has actually played as a vampire and drunk a potion of (vampire) blood. Especially the vomitting and max hp gain; I think I'm misreading the source in both cases.

There are some other things that I did not add to the wiki. I'd appreciate it if someone could look into these and see if they're worth adding to the article, or stating here that I'm wrong -

  • Line 1077 of potion.c states that when a non-vampire drinks a potion of vampire blood, they are permanently polymorphed into a vampire (or at least there is no timeout). I didn't add this because I honestly don't believe it, and I lack SLASH'EM wizard mode so I have no way to confirm it. Could someone test that? Especially what wizard-enlightenment says, as it normally displays the polymorph timeout.
  • Drinking a potion of blood breaks vegetarian conduct. It does not break foodless. Am I missing something again? foodless seems to be set with it's own u.uconduct value.
  • Drinking a potion of (vampire) blood is perfectly safe if you are polymorphed into a vampire. Even a lawful will not anger their god (but a monk will violate vegetarian as normal)
