Are Servants Vampires as well?

[Mick]

I assumed they were since, that's to me the whole idea or one of the ideas of being a vampire. They pass on their gift to mortals they deem worthy of immortality.

However my servants still walk in full daylight outside without using the shade liek they were still mortal.

What are they, mortal-half-vampires?

they are more like vampire thralls, so they can do the other stuff during the day that vampires cant. Like in "The vampires assistant" the protagonist is first converted into an assistant and hes told his duties like duties on the day and guard the vampires coffin while he sleeps.

Pretty sure lore wise they are considered vampires, but weaker and thralls to their master.
That they don't take damage from sunlight is just basic game balancing so they don't have to try and script the AI smart enough to avoid sunlight. Would otherwise make them rather easy to kill if you can just kite them into sunlit areas. Or awkward situations where they wander off into sunlight and die while you're away/offline..

I realise my error in judgement. Of course, Vampires need servants that can guard them in daylight hours.

Anyway servants aren't immune to sunlight. Mine got injured because "he fell asleep in the sun"

In methodical lore vampires biting humanoids for instance turns them into vampires sure. In v rising they're charmed so it's not the samething.

But you give the vampire kiss every one who got it sleeps and wake up a vampire lol

lesser vampires, they have all their powers and weakness, from getting sun burned to be able to transform and etc. Just read the flavour texts.

obviously this is not reflected in the gameplay and its more a lore thing.

In raiding someone else's castle, I tried the Blood-Kiss-Charm-Thingy on one of the castle servants,(Of another player...) a magus. It didn't work either. Otherwise, I don't know where I could fin this guy to otherwise get him on my side.

I'm pretty sure they might be Zombies, intelligent ones. Their skin is ashen coloured and their eyes glow...

In outfitting my servants, some of them now have skulls instead of numbers on their health bar. Does this mean they are now awesome?
