I am in the process of setting up an Nighbane Campaign, but my hapless PC's do not know that I will be unleashing DR Zombies on them!

I intend to make the DR Zombies appear about the time that the Nightlords' "Hidden Takeover" is already thinly disgiused & will not take much to have the Truth be revealed...of course that's when the DR Zombies get up(I plan on the Cultist being the cause of the Zombies/Wave).
It will be a mess with a nearly Everyone VS Everyone war for survival! The Cloak & Dagger stuff will be eventuall sidelined-but not eliminated! Too many Double & Triple Agents to ignore the sneaky stuff-Betrayals, Sabatuers, the whole mess is in the cards for the future of my Campaign. The DR/Wave Zombies will be immune to any form of control except by the Cult. Yes, this means that even Nightlords cannot simply take over/destroy them(I treat the DR Zombies as Magic Items), and the Humans are in real danger of Extinction on this Earth.

I just wonder what the DR Zombies would do if/when confronted by Vampires?

Thanks,

During the day? Zombies chew on the vampire but the vampire regenerates faster than they are chewed on...

At night? Body parts start flying as the vampire literally rends them limb from limb for chewing on them... or for taking the local food supply.

Vampires aren't alive, so zombies would ignore them. They'd be able to move freely amongst each other without fear (unless Nightspawn vamps are way different from the other books' vamps, I haven't read my Nightspawn book in a while).

Interesting. Heh, funny if the Zombies started to roll in to the Nightlands city states. Would reak havok on the doppleganger populations. Zombies with supernatural strength would wouldn't be easy to put down or escape from.

They don't care about living or dead I thought... from what I gather they care only about absorbing P.P.E.

On a side note: I heard somewhere that DR zombies were immune to Laser, Ion, and Particle Beam attacks... but the Rifter 40 version, I haven't seen the core DR book yet, says nothing about such an immunity as a matter of fact energy blast ward them off like fire does... besides vaporizing their head should kill them like sticking them in a pool of molten metal.
