Finally succeeded in becoming a vampire, in a different world, by drinking "human blood laced with [vampire name's] human blood". This was the second vampire whose blood this particular adventurer drank. Maybe something odd with the way the game tracks blood ownership?

Edit: Crashed while retiring adventurer. Not sure if related. No save exists. >:|

Edit: Also I just noticed I put this under "Vegetation" for some reason? I was trying to pick "Undeath". :P

killed about a hundred vampires in dozen worlds with dozens characters, all of them instead of drinking water - drinks only vampires blood all the time, almost all of them have "very low" Disease Resistance, none became a vampire, it seems i get temporary stats boost after drinking, but it wears of after a while and i never get option to feed on sleeping people

I had the same problem, in a particular world I couldnt become a vampire as none of adventurers I tried, but this resolved when I tried again from fresh legacy client in newly generated world. Dunno which one of my actions(switching to legacy client, getting a purged folder or creating a new world) helped, but some actually did. Anyway, the bug undoubtfully takes place in some cases.

I have the same problem in the latest version. I'm using LNP 40.05r2 with Phoebus.

I haven't had any problems?

Granted though I'm using the method of dumping water on the pool of blood (needs to be a pool of blood to work) and filling the waterskin with the water laced with vampire blood.

0.40.24 save at http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=10417 [^] . While it's possible that smjjames's method works and is the intended way, it seems unintuitive to me.

Apparently it's harder to drink undiluted blood than you might think. Not that it stops dwarves doing it anyway. :P

I would like to add that it must be a liquid laced with vampire blood, not vampire blood laced with a liquid. Vamp blood laced with water did not work, but water laced with vamp blood did.
