@Wresley7053 You do not set them at level 1, you pick them when you reach that level or when becoming a vampire (if you convert a character later). In the original mod, if you did the latter later in the game, you would have missed the skills and passives that you had outleveled, this mod fixes that so it doesn't matter when you choose to become a vampire.

Are the "skills" at levels 2, 6 ,8, 10, 14, and 18 available to companions, and if so do I need to set them as a vampire at level 1?

@FloriLucem That shouldn't have been the case, but get my bugfix mod for this class and make sure you have the dependencies. It should allow you to get the bonuses retroactively among other things.

So, I removed the necromancer points during character creation and I didn't get the ring at level 2.

Hello! I am here to ask for permission to use your assets and abilities for a custom encounters mod I am working on. I added you and would appreciate a few tidbits of info thanks!

Hey everyone! Just posting here that I published a patch/bugfix mod for this class that fixes some of the issues that have remained unfixed. You can find it here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3292708856 . All credit for the mod still goes to Helaene of course, I just made some fixes and QoL improvements.

Maybe it's just act 1, but I honestly feel like the vampire stuff is pretty weak, not over powered.
I constantly find myself wondering why I'd use them over my other abilities.
Like pounce or stalk when there are abilities that do similar things, but have DoTs or facilitate further combos.
The only remotely useful ability seems to be Hunt and even that I only find useful for the immunity to blind unless I cast it before combat starts which feels kinda dumb.

All in all it's a super cool concept and the theme is fun. The free powers at various levels are a neat idea too, but don't expect to be wanting to use these abilities over scoundrel/warfare/necromancer ones unless you prefer thematics over practicality

If you're reading down here to consider whether or not to get this mod- don't. Unless you already intend to make the game comically easy, this mod shifts the balance so much in the player's favour that it's not even laughable. This mod is a cool concept, but is downright a power fantasy. I'd recommend steering away from it unless you really don't care for balance.

does your mods work with odinblades?

So, having now seen this class in action, MY GOD is it busted. It is so powerful that i gotta ask, is this a power fantasy mod?

My question, Is do I have to pick vampire as my starting class to receive hearts?

Okay... i just want to share my experience after suffering for a HUGE while trying to make simple edits to the stats of this mod. For whatever reason, and I only found out because i completely broke the mod, using the Engine didn't work, because the pak file doesn't come with the editor's and recreating the stats didn't work.

I was very upset because using the GR2 converter tool to unpak, then edit the stats txt, then repacking was not working. Somehow, steam, or whatever was overwriting the mod everytime. Like it was not loading my custom pak. So what i did was...i Deleted EVERYTHING from inside the steam instalattion folder regarding to mods inside the DefED data folder, and then deleted my mod status file on My Document\Larian\.... AND FINALLY, IT WORKED. I'm so glad now.

What a huge pain in the ass, but at least i learned quite a bit.

could you please share this mod for some editing ? i just wanted to set bloodthirsty and Hunt to last forever, cuz i'm really tired of casting them in every battle. But without your "editor" folder i can't have access to the stats and therefore can't edit it.

This mod is incredibly fun but unfortunately you cant get the hearts after you've started the game because it bugs out the character. It essentially restarts their leveling instead of letting them eat a heart to get the special vampire ability bonuses. Honestly those seem super fun but I only realized to become a vampire at like lvl 7 and dont want to lose all of my prior bonuses for that. If the hearts could just be received at any level but only one of them could be used that would be so much better!

for anyone wondering, the bitten status does work with the Torturer skill

kinda sad you cant go finesse with this, wanted to be a sneaky vampire with daggers, but it scales with str soooo

The second heart didn't show up in my inventory. =(

Does this work in multiplayer ? Anyone tried it recently?

My skills only have "?" on them. The video has actual pics is this something i can change?

NPC's in GM mode dont use the vampire skills?

Im not getting these mods to show up anymore. has something broken and then dont work anymore or?

Is there a way to have an int and a str version selectable? So i could have a str char and an int char both be this class etc..

What do Sight and Hearing from the Hunt skill do?

im playing multiplayer and its not working, i was wondering if maybe it needs more than the shared library to work? like the npc is there i think but doesnt sell anything but a wand and i couldnt choose vampire as a class so i dunno whats going on with it

is there any way to change the ability we get from a vampire heart?

To solve the "hearts problem not spawning", I just installed the OdinCore - Mod Services {LINK REMOVED}(https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=1512583281), AND the script extender {LINK REMOVED}(https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2031669903) and everything works fine now !!
I don't know if OdinCore is really needed, but I know it works with the script extender, and i'm using some other awesome Odin's mods, which had same weird problems like vampire hearts without the script extender.

hey a question. Any have tried to get sebille to become a vampire however she gets no spells or anything from the vendor. Is this correct?

I'm not seeing any accuracy bonus with the rings. Is that just me?

Is there a way to get the hearts after you are past the certain level? I am trying to find a way to get them on my vampire i made and missed some of the hearts. I have tried resetting their level then leveling them up, but i was not able to.

great mod and some very very brilliant ideas. The ideas makes for a class with great potential for the future. It's a good character to play lone wolf, though not op. I only miss some skills to help teammates. On a different note, I found a bug that sends the game into an infinite loop. I casted Blood Sigil in an area where The Red Prince and a Volatile Voidling were confronting each other and the game went into a locked state, where LOADS of messages appeared on screen at the same time, music continued but the app became unresponsive.

Great mod but getting the heart is extremely buggy if you don't start the game as a vampire. I think the heart should be added as a buy-able item to easily resolve this.

Personally, love this class. I think it might actually be my favorite. There are only a couple things I would personally tweak. I think I'd make Hunt a stance, have it be incompatible with Blood Presence from the Death Knight class mod. I wonder how hard it'd be to make that tweak...I might also add in some other classic vampire abilities, shape shift abilities for mist and a bat, wolves and werewolves are available in other mods...I can see that there is a blood mist skill that is pretty close. I'd only tweak it to be a toggle.

@Zemnexx There is a mod that adds a well you can interact with to make yourself undead. Added benefit of not actually being a skeleton and having to deal with Veiled Undead status.

I'm reading a lot of comments about the hearts not spawning at certain levels and for me this has never happened. The condition for you to get one of the Vampiric Hearts is still to have the "Bite" skill enabled, right?

Started class on creation. Heart mechanic didnt worked for my lizard guy but worked on human normally before.

Don't use it if you're not planning on starting as one. Heart mechanic is gone forever once you start the game without choosing this class on creation.

Good Class, but i have noticed an issue regarding the vampire hearts. If you play with the Joyless Beginning mod it starts you out on the Lady Vengeance at level 9 and it doesn't give you the two hearts you would get from the first two level brackets. I could have missed it but i looked all over for them.

One of my favorites, would love to see it also add the undead tag though.

Why are all the skillbooks so expensive?

I got a problem the game dosnt show the icons from the spells.

what can i do ?

I used desdemona to change to a vampire at level 6, and she didn't give me a heart, am i just not going to get one cause i did it after level 2?

fun class mod but it appears that the decaying heart never appeared into my inventory at any levels it was suppose to so i never recieved those buffs. i didnt really mind it not working but there may be a bug happening with that

Really fun mod, but I think a little too strong early game!

Right click the character, hit examine, and then scroll over the status effect

What does Bitten, Ravaged and Maimed status effect actually do. I have searched for days but cant find the answer its a starter skill would think it be an easy description to find?

Is the skill pounce supposed to be AoE or single target? It's AoE in my game, and physical damage instead of piercing, so I'm wondering if there is some conflict that's causing this.

hay hay so i started doing vampire stuff fairly late and my undead heart was straight to lv 10 so i missed the skills i wanted from before. is there anything i can do?

So when i look at the FIS mod i see that it was updated on 2018, but this one is from 2020.
Will this mess up the mod?

can the skill "always invited" only be obtained by leveling up as a vampire?. because neither the chest at the beginning nor the vendor has it

it'd be cool to make it so vampires get the undead talent, but doesnt make them a skeleton. That way they can resist poison instead.

So when using this mod i start with my character, and a whole other 4 man party. they cant be dismissed and since its single player theres no party management. PLEASE help
