Surpise was the first thing I ever got. I'd been playing for months and had just over 20,000 coins in the bank. But only Terrence has it, and Nomar is the one who steals all the coins.

Stupid question. You can take away someone's BPs? I meant to ask you about that before, but you seemed upset and distracted.

Not at all stupid. In fact it's of vital importance to know this, although hopefully you'll never need to. There are three ways to take away another 'pire's BPs:

1.) Bite them. This takes away 1 BP (2 if you have Suction)
2.) Use a Scroll of Turning on the square they're in. If they don't resist (ability to resist is conferred by the power of Stamina; increasing levels increase the probability that you'll resist), they lose ~10 BP.
3.) Splash them with Holy Water. The amount of BP lost is proportional to the amount of BP the 'pire has, with higher-BP vampires losing more. The exact equation for this isn't known; I saw one somewhere that RB said was 'close enough' to correct, but I don't remember where. 1 vial of HW can take off hundreds or even thousands of BP, depending on how much blood the victim already has.

So... just remember this from Auntie Arwen: NO SPLASHING OF RANDOM STRANGERS WITH HOLY WATER. It's worse than rude, it's an assault. :-)

Hope that helps!
