I? Cruoromancer. A half vampire which can use his own blood as a catalyst for his necromantic spells making then more deadly and powerful. How not love that class? I wish that I could play kingmaker with that class too. And that I could be a vampire instead of a lich.

You never go wrong with Human Fighter.

Human Fighter.

That is the most boring race/class combo ever. To make it even worst, only if you play as a lawful good specialized in longsword (the most overrated medieval weapon)

Seriously, this special snowflake parade is beyond the pale. If your class isn't named in a single word, and that word does not instantly conjure general understanding of what that class is, what it can do and what sets it apart from all the rest - to the recycle bin it goes.

Pathfinder seems to be a fucking Burning Man of TTRPGs.

Original D&D had the Fighting man and Magic User. two words.

Larian vampires are gay.

Vampires are aristocrats from from old times and don't tolerate it.
The first ever modern vampire, Lord Ruthven, was written by John Polidori, Lord Byron's physician and lover. Lord Ruthven is a stand-in for Byron, who wasn't straight, I'm sorry to inform you. The "second" vampire was Carmilla, a lesbian. Dracula was written by Bram Stoker in order to explore his gay feelings for Walt Whitman (or in general). Then Anne Rice came along and we know how that ended. Sorry, vampires are gay.

By the time they came up with the fourth class, they found an editor and fixed that.

Making her villain even lesbian was a way to make her even more depraved in the eyes of the target audience of the time.

All of them are punished and vilified for their deviancy because it's the 19th century, but that doesn't make them less gay ;d

I finished reading Dracula not too long ago and I didn't felt there was much gay. But maybe I just missed it

It's more inferred from metatextual sources and real events from Bram Stoker's life. In the book, Jonathan Harker's imprisonment in Dracula's castle could be seen as homoerotic (like beauty and the beast, but the beauty is a man) and Dracula commanding his three wives not to touch Jonathan because Jonathan belongs to him alone. Even though Dracula doesn't feed directly from any man, he does drink all of the protagonists' blood through Lucy (they gave their blood for a transfusion). Dracula also turns others into creatures like himself, which has been suggested to be analogous to the invention of the word "homosexual" at the end of the 19th century (around gay people, more "suddenly" spring up). Everything else is derived from Bram Stoker's life, like I said. The conspicuous absence of Oscar Wilde in any of his writings; his letters to Walt Whitman; Abraham Van Helsing being an author self-insert (Abraham = Bram), the only character not showing any romantic interest in women, etc.

You're so gay that you can't even spot it anymore. It just all seems like the norm in your eyes

Not really race specific (in terms of mechanics and even partly of lore since it's not racially restricted, just quite homogenous given the racial nature of the deity in question), but a Dwarven Paladin of Torag.

Lacrymas is the lv 20 specialist of of gay undead sex, I don't have arguments to prove him wrong, except that Strahd and Dracula had a lot of vampire brides.

Bisexuals are still gay (in a sense). Also, I'm a specialist in all kinds of undead sex, not just gay.

Modern vampires can be as gay as they want. True ancient vampires were ghouls that spread disease by biting people, thus you shove a brick in their mouth when you stomp them in the ground.

Vampires are one of those monsters I like the idea of, but I don't think there has been anything that has ever done them proper justice. The closest is Blood Omen 1. Kain has the aristocratic verbiage and mannerisms but he also likes to gorge and feast when the iron sword gets drawn. It's a good mixture/balance that's done well through professional voice acting and great plot/character development.

Overall I lean towards vampires being more of the monstrous, Nosferatu side of things since you filter out tons of the weird gay shit. Tragic/romanticized vampires are lame and if a woman is behind the writing you can almost always be assured they will just be perfect looking but very pale sex icons that lament about their curse even though there's no real drawback to it.

Now a vampire like in that movie 30 Days of Night? I'm down with that. Grotesque, savage, night stalkers that fuck you up and leave you drained are the safe bet when talking about vampires in an enemy/monster manual way.

For the record, I've always loved the level drain mechanic from D&D that was commonly given to the higher tier of undead. It SUCKS when it happens to you but it's such a fear inducing thing and the idea you can become a vampire's thrall if you fall into the negatives was always great.

Well, if you want no gay in your vampires, there is a single (famous) example I can name - Edward from Twilight. I'm sorry, this is what peak heterosexual vampires look like.

Isn't that just concerning vampires in modern literature? It feels like the vampire from folklore is far more primal and downright monsterous.

I'm just a dumb programmer though, so I'm completely talking out of my ass when it comes to old literature/folklore like this.

Is that the Bride from Corinth? Yeah, she's heterosexual as far as we know, but isn't very famous in the mainstream.
