So, in Really Old Shadowrun, anybody could contract HMHVV and become a vampire, even metahumans. Neato.
In the Third Edition Critters book, it states that "vampires are humans and metahumans infected with HMHVV." Gotcha. In the Fourth Edition Critters section, it states that "vampires are humans infected with HMHVV." Hm. That's weird. So which way is it? If I had, say, a troll with HMHVV, will she always become a Dzoo-noo-qua, or might she just become a regular ol' vampire troll? It's possible that the Sixth World Wiki has the best reconciliation, stating that "Humans, and in extremely rare cases, other metatypes, become Vampires." (italics added) Does anybody have anything canon on this? Or just a well-founded opinion? |
