Vampire Shapeshift: Racial Type 'Undead'

Post by Skibbles » Wed Sep 15, 2021 9:18 am

Description of Bug Experienced:
When in normal form a vampire displays their base race: Human, Elf, etc.

When shifted into both bat or wolf, however, it displays the racial type as Undead.

This seems unintended. In my opinion, if anything, it would be the reverse.

Steps to reproduce the Bug:
- Be spooky, as usual, and then use one of the vampire shift functions.

Expected Result:
Racial Type: Animal?

Actual Result:
Racial Type: Ded.

So we're very much on track.

In before Bat or someone shift+deletes the Subrace. Ultimate bug fix!

Update: I found a potion of polymorph and tested it for funsies by turning into a troll just to see if the issue lay with the Subrace itself, but it correctly reported that I was a 'Giant' so it seems directly related to the vampire shift forms only.
