Vampiric Feast inflicts Bleeding damage to vampires

Post by Beary Nice » Tue Jan 16, 2024 3:59 pm

Description

Vampiric feast affects undead allies and summons

Steps to reproduce

Have a vampire PC or summon in your party

Expected result

Vampire PCs and NPCs are immune to bleeding damage

Actual result

Vampire PCs and NPCs take a lot of bleeding damage

Screenshot(s)

Misc Notes

Even Assassins cannot deal bleeding damage to vampires, so this is inconsistent. I expect it is meant to do Entropy.

Which Server(s)?

Underdark

Gaming Platform(s)?

PC

Hello, it behaves as expected, and prevents accidental outings of Vampire PCs.
Vampires receive bleeding damage as they are creatures with blood, and the epic spell is powerful enough to inflict it.

I'm curious, if this is the case (vampires being creatures with blood) , why doesn't the Invisible Blade on hit bleed work against them?

I believed that you've already got your answer because Amnesy had already wrote it as you've quoted.
'Epic spell is powerful enough to inflict it'
Invisible blade's bleed no matter how, is incomparable to epic spell that is almost touching the ceiling of the power from gods.

Think of Vampiric Feast as ripping the blood they have consumed, rather than blood in their veins. Meanwhile, Invisible Blade is trying to perforate veins and arteries, which are normally empty in a Vampire. This is also why a Hemomancer's Red Harvest works on a Vampire.

Red Harvest and Vampiric Feast are very much alike ;)
