Vs 1.7

Vampire Armor

• Vampires have natural armor when not wearing armor
• The amount of armor scales between iron and diamond from level 1 to level 14

• If wearing heavy armor (anything stronger than leather) your vampire specific speed and attack speed buff will be cut by half
• Armor enchantments can be applied to (not yet rendered) stylish vampire clothing that can be equipped in the armor slots
• After respawning the armor will take some time to fully regenerate
• Vampires can wear new vampire clothing, that does not provide any protection but is enchantable

Vampire Immortality

• Vampires do not immediately die from certain damage sources, instead they go into a down-but-not-out (DBNO) state where they can still be hit, but are ignored by mobs
• After some regeneration (timeout) phase, they can choose to resurrect. Alternatively, they can always decide to die and respawn instead
• After resurrecting vampires are weakened and instantly die when they are killed again in the next few minutes (neonatal effect)
• While DBNO vampire can be immediately finished using vampire killing weapons like stake, holy water or fire

Vampire Accessories

• Vampires can now equip accessories (ring, amulet and obi belt) which give buffs (and debuffs) and can even modify certain skills
• There are many different effects and combinations of effects and you can try to collect the perfect set of ring, amulet and obi belt
• In total there are much more than 100.000 possible combinations, even though many are similar.
• Accessories cannot be unequipped and are destroyed if another is equipped in the same slots
• Upon respawning (after death) accessories take a random amount of damage and eventually break
• Certain accessories can for example change the dark blood projectile to a short range 360° attack
