Re: Quick Vampire Question
Well, I don't think BB guns have ever been given any damage. Perhaps, for the specific nature of attacking Vampires, you could assign a 1D3 Damage (yes, D3) and allow for staking as per the rules (Natural 20 hits the heart). Maybe allow burst fire with the gun if need be.

Would that be per bb or for a burst? they shoot roughly 100 per 5 secs. and i am unsure of the d3. is that an actual die, or a modified d6 roll?
the typical BB can barely do a point of SDC, IMO.
a burst firing BB rifle with the stats you listed i'd set up as maybe 1D6 or 1D8 SDC a burst. more from the "sand blasting" the target gets than anything else.
not a bad idea for an improvised weapon though.

Yup.
Since silver does x2 damage to vampires, I'd have the BB Machinegun do something like 1d2 SDC per shot, 1d4 SDC for a short (5-shot) burst, 2d4 for a long burst (15 shots), and 3d4 for a 30 shot burst.
Or something like that.
