Discussion - One for the beginners

I'm curious to see the Vampire changes and which items are still orphaned.

Also, I'm hoping all the item rewards were moved to the Silver challenges.

Changes to Vampire:

- Blood pool: 5% to 10%
- Cannot worship gods instead of no resist
- Conversion changed from +2 DR to +1 Life steal, every 120 points

I'm currently testing it, and 8 levels of life steal with 18% resists is interresting, but without enough attack to get the full life steal potential, it's kind of useless.

Also, I don't know if it is a bug, or intended, but if I have, let,s say, 150/100 HP and that I convert a life pendant, my max HP does go down by 10, but my current HP becomes my MAX HP. So I'm losing all the life steal I did.

Well it makes sense that when leveling, HP resets, or else well... the Vampire / life setal would be wayyy overpowered! But Converting an item? Well I just wasn't expecting that behavior.

Back in early DD, the Trisword gave you +3 base attack every time you leveled up. This is similar to the Troll Heart, which gives +2 HP when you level up. However, the old Trisword's benefits would be lost if you converted it, while the Troll Heart's benefits would not. The lesson to be learned is that there is no consistency in DD, and just about everything is hard-coded.

Oh, and as for vampire level-up, I don't see how it would be an issue. My current HP is 150 and my max HP is 90. I level up, my max HP is now 100 and my current HP is still 150. I'm not actually gaining anything.
