Plus depending on what sort of vampire
you get powers etc. Zombies just get the power to be blasted apart by the hero.

What sort of zombies have regeneration?

you have to dismiss them, level 4 usually, before you completely destroy them, at least in my experience

I'll take your word on it
The only computer game I've ever played with zombies in it was Thief

zombies are more satisfying to kill
less mind control, more just lamping them until they fall down.

someone I know was obsessed with being a vampire (in the larp world) and pestered and pestered about it. Once he got his card with his special ability on it it said "...thinks he is a vampire BUT IS NOT" We loled

so in the larp world
you have to be gifted with your character?
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Sun 26 Sep 2010, 22:12, Reply)

no, but special abilities are
harder to come by. You have to do a ritual or pay for them in OSPs (like XP) or get bitten by another vampire (that can backfire, though)

no - well i guess it will in the masquerade larp
but the one I play you get a coin flip, I think you die if you lose. Same for werewolves and paladins
