Matt the Bruins Posted March 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 Re: Ward to keep out vampires The discussion is certainly still interesting to me, and hopefully that's true for other readers as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manic Typist Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Re: Ward to keep out vampires A Mental based, "Telekinetik" barrier. Not attackable (except for dispel/drain) but hold the not so living out. To reproduce such an effect (especially since it would let her attacks trough, right?) may be impossible for this system. This is more the stuff for a Plot Device, not an actuall player Power. By the way, I have just noticed that the OP had his answer found in Post Nr 12.

Christopher Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Re: Ward to keep out vampires Note that the need for vampires to drink blood is yet another 'geas' laid on them. But a simple one: Dependence with Incompetent, Weakness and maybe Power Activation Roll. If he is a hero, negative Reputation or Social Complication may be used adittionally. ("He drinks blood!") @Manic: Sorry for that. Most likely used multi quote and then deleted the wrong quoute-start-tags. But I don't really remember it.

JmOz Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 Re: Ward to keep out vampires Buffy had an actual physical force that prevented entry. At last it appeared to work that way. It could have been the excellent mime skills of the actors involved' date=' but I remember at east two occasions when vampires stopped as if they hit a brick wall at the threshold.[/quote'] For what it is worth it seemed that "Souled" vampires could get past this sometimes (but bot always) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greywind Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 Re: Ward to keep out vampires Angel had been invited in initially. Once he lost his soul, the invitation had remained. Hence Buffy needed to "change the locks". Spike also needed to be invited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt the Bruins Posted March 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 Re: Ward to keep out vampires Angel did manage to break into Kate's apartment uninvited to save her from her suicide attempt, but they noted in-story that he shouldn't have been able to do that, and speculated about intervention from above.

Mister E Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 Re: Ward to keep out vampires [All this chatter is probably going to hurt my future case, but... ] From what I've heard, there's no better place to kill someone than in your own home. Seems lawyers figured that one out some time ago & now have a standard form for winning such cases. So... according to reciprocal contiguity (which may be redundant... idk... I just made it up), which is an aspect of our shared contiguum (something else I just made up), not only do women & children possess the same capacity to kill w/in their own home (& get away with it legally), but everyone else does, too. I suggest, at the very least, never entering a residence without being invited. And just to be safe, never cross bodies of running water (like rivers) as such things tend to be arbitrarily determined as boundaries between units of realty.

So, the writers of Vampire Novels/creators of the vampire mythos predicted the existense of lawyers? And the real evil in the storys where never the ones with "Special Dietary Requirements" but the guys who defeated them? Now that is scary.

No. The creators of the vampire "mythos" were themselves lawyers. It was originally an act of co-self-re-creation... a ritual spell (meant to infuse lawyers with diety-hood)... that went horribly wrong.
