Drain life:
This creature drains life during its attacks on living creatures, restoring its own hit points and even resurrecting perished creatures. Amount of hit points restored equals half the dealt damage.
Alrighty, the above is the official definition of the ability.
The part I wanna is is this: "Amount of hit points restored equals half the dealt damage."
So, if a stack of a vamp at the start of battle has only ONE unit (30/30), and is hit by a gigantic enemy stack that causes 600 damage, does this mean the Vamp's retal (Drain Life ability activated) will restore 300 HP? So the Vamp will now become 10 units of 30/30 ??
This don't seems right, but that's what the definition meant, and I'm pretty sure I have seen a vamp got more than what it started off with, esp in cases where the Vamp was raised by the Necro hero.
Someone shed some light on this please?
Thanks in advance.

when the vampire attacks and damage it drain life which is half the damage
if like u say vampire is hit by and perished it wouldnt revive |
cant be more than how much initially that stack has, note resurrecting perished creatures
vamp only drain life when it hits, or retaliate (which means hit too), and also cant restore more than the target stack hp left
So, if a stack of a vamp at the start of battle has only ONE unit (30/30), and is hit by a gigantic enemy stack that causes 600 damage
doesnt that means vamp is dead already? |

hahaha.. Now why didn't I think of that. Stoopid me. Doh.. |
for Jedi-Knight:
I think you got it wrong. the vamp regains back health equal to half of the damage it deals to others. not the damage that people deal to it.
And vamps can regain lost units but up to the starting stack size.
So a stack of 20 vamps lost 5 from a big boulder dropping on their heads. then the remaining 15 vamps with a bruised ego go take it out on some goblins and with luck and extreme bonuses deals 360 points to them. Thus regaining half = 180.
But 150 points is all you need to restore those 5 lost vamps, so 30 points of 'healing' is lost. Those 5 vamps come back to 'unlife' and stare at the cyclops in the distance holding another boulder and vow revenge.
You can't get back more than you lost. Even the damage message will say:
Vampires deal 360 damage to Goblins. Lots of them perish
Vampires restore 150 hit points. 5 resurrected.
Also if the victim has less hitpoints than you can drain, you can only drain up to the hit points of the target. No phantom donation from the dead.
Vampires deal 10000 damage to Goblins. 1 perish
Vampires restore 2 hit points. |
Very good post, Takesister. Good explanation, and I like your humor.
Now, if only all the Help & Reference people could learn to be like this - helpful and funny at the same time. |
it would make this game a better..
right? |
