Question bout Modifier on new character

[XP]

"max hp modification is reduce to 50%" on vampire made me confuse. I use ethereal staff which can increase max hp by 1 for certain kill, but the hp not increase when the effect trigger, and then when I get item with -1 max hp, and it happen reduce the hp.

I think this is really huge disadvantage since all his passive depend on hp and starting hp is so low. If this intended, many item will punish this character so much, increasement item will halved and decreasement item will get full potential?

The max hp mod works like others involving damage. You get half the effect, rounded down. So it should be 1 hp for every 2 times ethereal triggers. The -1 max from an item just depends on if it's exactly those hps, or halfway to the next.

You just get armor, play like a fool getting hit a lot, life steal, sharp fangs, and pray for bloody hand. Vampire win. Vampire just isn't interesting or fun.

I dont think I am getting the 1 HP on lvl up with Vampire anyway, very low HP totals after 20 waves.

ahh, I see, the threshold half is count like that, I think that random rounded up or something. this character is not the first one, but ranger or hunter just add this modifier to become downside with clear advantage passive on their own. But I quite agree, this character is not fun, I mean what the point getting armor on low hp, it still pass through some dmg and kill you anyway..
