Water Warlock - Vampire Slayer

One player wants to create a Water warlock character cos I hinted that the campaign might be set down Mexico way - smart move I think.

The only trouble is, is that my copy of the Conversion book #1 doesn't list damage to vampires for spells that chuck water around, like the steam cloud etc.

Is this addressed in the revised copy, or has anyone worked out some rules for this?

Cheers.

Page 34 vampire kingdom, "a water spout will inflict 4d6 hp damage per gallon of water"

I try to keep in mind that certain clothing that can be worn by vampires is likely to be waterproof or water resistant: trench coats, leather, plastic/pvc, etc.
Basically I give it an AR against water attacks.

Good luck with your Mexico campaign.
Vampires should be formidable enemies, but people often complain that they are too easy to kill. Let me know if your players are having too easy of a time with things and I'll give you a bunch of pointers.

*Note*
Cloud of steam is not running water.

I agree.
But whoever wrote up the TW Steam Grenades does not.

Might work to ward them off but damage? No way.

The only way I can think to rationalize it is this:

Vampires are room temperature, much cooler than the vapour making up the steam. The steam would condense on the vampires, turning into beads of running water.

Of course, if this is true than vampires need to avoid mist, fog, and dew as well... humid climates in general.

Like the Yucatan or Colombia?
