Durkon's Prophecies

[sam79]

I guess the comic might not go as you expect.

That's pretty much a given!

D&D-vampirism isn't defined. It's up to any DM. I very much doubt Rich goes all the way to make Durkon to become friends with a vampire (if he does), then get turned by that "friend" and then simply lets this stay at
Durkon: "HOHOHO I am an Evil Vampire now! I'll suck you dry! MUHAHAHAH!"

But it is defined to the extent that applying the vampire template makes a character Evil, and presumably being Evil Undead will make Durkon's continued career as a cleric of Thor...difficult. The author is free of course to ignore these rules and restrictions; its his world and his story. But I think the audience could legitimately cry foul in that case, especially given that we've recently(ish) had Redcloak give Tsukiko a lesson on the nature of the undead in OOTS.
