Question re: Ghost possession & vampirism…

From pg.210:

“Vampire. A dead body animated and sustained by a spirit.”

This is the only reference to spirits possessing dead bodies I can find; everything else points to Vampires being created by possessing a living body (incl. a prepared hollow).

Has anyone played with vampires as being possessed corpses?

Has anyone used the idea of a possessed corpse as anything else?

Any and all help would be appreciated.

  1. Personally I always took that to mean that the vampire ritual kills the host hollow body in the process – thus vampires are still a type of undead. There’s this bit under the rules for trauma; “The possessing spirit must either bond with the corpse (becoming a vampire) or abandon it and seek out a new host.” In other words, the spirit drains all life from the host, killing it, and then resurrects the body in vampire form.
