Illness for Vampires?
Anyone else think this is weird? I don't think vampires should get sick considering they are immortal.

Or something.
True but I have yet to hear any vampire lore where a vampire got a human illness. If they coded in immortality for those with the vampire trait, I think they could have done the same with illness.
I think exactly what a vampire can and can't do is always up in the air. Whenever I write about vampires, I always have it so that they can get some minor illnesses, like a cold, but nothing deadly or permanent. Then again, I also always have my vampires needing to eat normal human food along with occasional blood, and completely able to get a sun tan without dying a slow death (Hey, Dracula could go out in the daylight in the original novel, so why not?) Anyway, to me it makes sense that a vampire can get illnesses in this game. The illnesses are minor, eventually go away, and make for a good laugh (at least for me). But, I understand why many people disagree.
