View Full Version : Creating Wamphyri

I haven't seen the topic up anywhere; and everyone seems to have discussed the talents section, the baddest Wamphyri etc... So how about, what ESP skills and the like would create the ultimate Wamphyri. Any ones, except keep it down to about 3 ish or else it would be overkill.
Mine would have to be strong telepathy (like Lady Wratha, but not as strong as Lord Malinari), metamorphism (like Lord Szwart) and the killing eye (like Lord Spiro). Though in the case of the last one there would be overkill!

Hey Alex,
nice topic! i would pick Szwart's metamorphism, Janos' necromancy and maglores mentalism. http://www.brianlumley.com/ubb/smile.gif i would be pretty bad and the line up you picked would make a hard hitting Wamphyri lord.

I'd just settle for Shaitan's pretty face, (early Shaitan) Fess's "hands", and Canker's uhhhhh...talents? http://www.brianlumley.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

Canker

Oh I would have to say Canker's fighting prowess (did I say fighting?) ;)

Vasagi's metamorphism. That was incredible!

And last but not least was Lichloathe's necromancy. For even in death.......there is no where to hide!

Now that truly is a scare!


AAAWWWWWHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some nice ideas, though to go over the top, imagine the first two I picked and instead add telekinesis! Dangerous, well in a straight fight (or in this case a one sided, only sunlight is the problem). Just guess why I didn't include the telekinesis the first time (it's because of the overkill!)
I do like the idea of Canker's skills though, reading the future through dreams is dubious and a straight picture of the future would send me mad, just trying to avoid it, then the Necroscope's maxim comes into it's own in this case.

I don't know abou Canker (The one on the board), but I wasn't talking about that particular talent of Canker's! http://www.brianlumley.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

I was thinking more along the lines of his...what...stamina? http://www.brianlumley.com/ubb/biggrin.gif Does that put it delicately enough? heh heh...

No...the reading of the future would be too scary for me too...

I knew EXACTLY what you were talking about Nathan.

Nathan
January 19th, 2001, 06:37 PM
Yeah...I knew you did, I was clarifying for Alex. http://www.brianlumley.com/ubb/smile.gif And you...I think you spelled that 'F' word wrong!! *Ernie laugh*

Have just had a though. It's probably been thought of before but...how about Titus Crow as Wamphyri? After The Transition! Wow...would his body even accept an egg? Don't answer that here, might be spoilers...just a thought. http://www.brianlumley.com/ubb/smile.gif

Seeing as I haven't even yet read any of the Titus Crow books I wouldn't even know what your going on about. I wil read them soon though, honest.
However, I'll post a new topic up tomorrow, just for a little bit of general Necroscope knowledge.

OK this was a hard one, because they all have their good points, but i think i'll go for:
Harry..for his mobius door
Spiro..for his killing eye
Devataki..for her mentalism
oh it's no good three is not enough..Shaitan because like all Wamphyri I would be conceited and would have to be the best looking one!! http://www.brianlumley.com/ubb1/biggrin.gif

Reckon I'd go for Cankers 'way with the ladies', Harrys Mobius Door and the killing eye...... :D

I would take Malinari and the ability to use the Mobius thing! Thats all that is needed.

* Karen's beauty (the better to stun and distract you with, my dear!)

* Harry's Mobius Continuum (now you see me ~ now you don't! Ha!)

* Shaitan's arrogance (i am THE best.)

...feme.

Hey! - I know its late, but i'd like to join in! I'd go for Shaitan (for his wisdom in the ways of the Wamphyr!) Harry's Mobius Continuum (for his power to travel anywhere instantly!) and lastly Boris Dragosni's Necromsncy power (i'd use it to gain more powers!!!!) mhaww haww haww haww (evil laugh!!)

I always fancied taking the visage of Shaitan - I think a giant black slug-like leech would be a good look for me. tongue.gif

"Would be"?

HMPH! Guess my mental image of you has been completely wrong all these years! tongue.gif

I was gonna change my answer as it's been so long, but looking back on it, I think I'll stick to what I originally posted! grin.gif

I'd soooo rather Shatian that canker!

Who's your fav wamphyr?

this is how it goes for me:

1. the mobius continuum
2. trevor's guardian angel
3. malinari's mentalism

combined, you'd be unstoppable grin.gif

It may be just my addled memory - but wasn't it Darcy Clarke with the Guardian Angel..?

And if this is Wamphyri talent pick-and-mix, isn't using E-Branch talents cheating? Just joking!

I'd like:
Wratha's immunity to kneblasch
Fess Ferenc's claws (plus shares in L'Oreal to keep them covered in girly pink nail varnish!)
Malinari's mentalism

i know i'm only just climbing the barrier mountains to my lord's aerie on this one but i think i'd have to go for:

mentalism (devetaki skullguise-not malinari would'nt want the headaches)
metamorphosism (vasagi? or wamus? not too shore which one)
necromancy (boris dragosani)

and that would be me, not overkill but by no means to be taken lightly. what do you reckon lords and ladies?

Goth Girl
February 9th, 2004, 01:09 PM
Ooh, metamorphosism... I think both Vasagi and Wamus had it to a greater degree than most their Wamphyri peers.

Wouldn't mind it myself, would save a fortune in gym fees!

...i've thought of one that might be interesting: a charisma. a mental seduction. i know the thralls do this when they turn, but to use a power like this (shades of Dracula?) to lure the prey to them. yummy!

August 12th, 2004, 12:44 AM
Hmmm, I think I'd go for Swarts' metamorphicness, Janos' necromancy and Harry's Mobius Continuum. Hey I might not be pretty but I'd be happy grin.gif

The three talents I would want for a Wamphyri are as follows:

1) Flesh crafting (just think of all the awesome creatures you can create!)

2) Necromancy (mmm, even the dead's secrets are not safe from them!)

3) Mentalism (what better way to keep your thralls in line by dipping into their thoughts. Oh and the threat could be so real because if they are plotting against you the idea of being tortured after the truth death .. mmm so fun!)
