OOTS death pool (thread #4)

[Gift Jeraff]

Another possible grey area: vampires aren't actually destroyed when reduced to 0 hit points by standard means, unlike most undead (panel 1). Should this be treated like Xykon--even though they can regenerate it is still counted as a death?

I'd say no, since unlike a destroyed lich the soul doesn't leave the body to go form a new one, the body just takes on a new form. It's probably more comparable to negative hit points. Unless the comic depicts the vampire with X's in their eyes. "x_x" trumps all, unless it's in an illusion/dream/etc.

But I wouldn't be opposed to counting it as a death (should it ever happen).
