OSE Encounter Activities - Vampire

By my math, I’m now officially 33.3% through! Here’s a table for the Vampire!

Draining two-levels with a touch is something every hardened Player should fear, and it’s vital to telegraph this danger to new players. There should be plenty of stories overheard in local rathskellers about run-ins resulting in even the hardiest Veterans withering with a single touch. Thankfully, most of their folkloric weaknesses are pretty well-known and replicated in the rules.

Though they tend to make better “big bads” or long-term villains, you never know when a random roll might invite one to your table, especially if using randomly generated tombs/crypts in massive megadungeons like the Barrowmaze. Hopefully this list will help provide some additional inspiration for making these encounters more memorable!
