Pureblood

The Pureblood is an undead creature of the night. He has a hatred of all that is living, relying on the blood of the living to survive. The night is the pureblood's kingdom. When the sun sets across Derlith, hordes of purebloods come out to feast. Because many fear their unnatural powers, pureblood have formed their own organization that is rumored to exist somewhere in the lands of Derlith.
== General Information ==
* Pureblood can be considered as a hybrid caster; they receive a substantial amount of mana and intellect but also have a stat cycle that supports physical strength.
* During the night, pureblood gain abilities that make them very powerful:
** They are able to bite any living creature, doing massive damage in a single strike. This also causes the target to be stunned for a substantial amount of time.
** A pureblood may transform himself into a translucent mist, remaining undetected by most until the time of his attack.
** A minor increase in armor is gained during the night.
** Contrary to popular belief, a pureblood is not powerless when the sun comes up. A vampire is often able to hypnotize his victim, even in daylight. This causes the victim to perceive the pureblood as a friend, refusing to attack him.
** All pureblood will carry all properties of the undead.
Armor type: Leather
Restrictions: Unable to sleep during the night, due to thirst for blood.
Summary of Skills: Bite, Mist, Hypnotize.
== Benefits from Stats ==
Suggested prime requisites are in magenta.
* Strength: This is the primary stat that determines how successful your bite attack will be. Pureblood are dependent on this opening attack, this stat should be a priority.
* Intelligence + Piety: These two stats come in a pair for this class. Pureblood are considered as decent casters. Should you choose to make good use of their mana pool, INT is the important next stat that you will need for good spell damage and stuns. Moderate PTY should be considered for faster ticking of MP.
* Constitution: Being undead has its benefits. Low CON wouldn't bother a vampire at all when it comes to poison and diseases, unlike other classes that suffer from longer durations when afflicted with such. If you would like to depend on hypnotize, CON does play a bit of a part in its duration.
* Dexterity: Misting should provide all the protection a vampire needs. Adding DEX would not be very beneficial for this class.
