Title: Minor problem
Post by Omniscient on 11/14/03 at 06:12:39

This has bothered me for a while actually... its very minor but I really dont care.

On the library stats for weapons... it should be VAMPIRIC not VAMPARIC.

Thats all.

I don't believe either are actual english words.

1. A reanimated corpse that is believed to rise from the grave at night to suck the blood of sleeping people.

2. A person, such as an extortionist, who preys upon others.

3. A vampire bat.

The 'Vamparic' abilities in the game are not covered by those explanations. Therefore to use the word 'Vampiric' to describe the hp draining abilities some weapons hold would be incorrect.

So 'Vamparic' should stay as it is. Otherwise you would be using a word in an incorrect circumstance, and we wouldn't want that, would we?

The dictionary reference quoted was actually for the word Vampire. If you look below it at different forms of the word, one of them is vampiric. If you then do a search on the word vamparic, it says it cannot be found, and asks if you meant to do vampiric.

My mistake. I just took the quotes from the link posted. Didn't actually read what is was explaining.
