Vampire Coffin Questions


Rules Questions


SO
the group found some coffins
and
are dealing with them
my question is, are the vampires bound to THOSe coffins specifically, or is it ok for them to have multiples or get new ones as replacements?
if the coffins are destroyed are the vampires destroyed?
one of the vampires was already stopped from returning and destroyed, but theres at least two whose coffins are being held captive. i assume htis is in the vampire beastiary thing but i havent found a good one so far. theres not alot about htem as far as i can tell.

AP #47 implies that they can use other coffins - some of the vampires in that adventure have "guest coffins" for visiting vampires. Of course, there's the old lore about the coffin containing "the soil of their homeland", suggesting that the important component is the soil and less the specific coffin. AP #27 has vampires set up in a dungeon, using the local sarcophagi with a layer of transplanted soil "for comfort".

That said, the rules are vague on exactly how this is supposed to work. If ou're the GM, I'd say as long as you're within the rough guidelines, do whatever you need to do for your adventure to be most fun/thrilling/etc. ^_^


cool, i have seen the adventure paths but that sounds really god for the way its going. i am the DM, but i didnt want to give te group the power to just screw over the vampires completely.
i like the soil of homeland lore.
i havent heard that before and i like adding things to monsters that players dont expect. lik everyone goes " OH vampires must hate garlic because thats what i...have heard......"
its awesome switching things up on them or adding in stuff that they actualy have to try and figure out.
thanks for the info! i will make sure to use it during the net session

In the Bram Stoker novel, Dracula had dozens of coffins hidden all over the place.
