Living on the cards against humanity sanctuary renders you immune to vampires.
You think they’d cover this in the Dungeonmonster Manual
You think your landlord waits for an invite?
In Dracula, Renfield allows Dracula into the asylum even though he’s just a patient and not the owner.
I’ve always held that the occupant of a building must be the one to invite, not the owner.
Reasoning: vampyric stories have been around since monarchies and nobility were the standard for landowners. The people in houses all over the kingdom didn’t own the houses or land, that belonged to some lord somewhere.
So since the people still had to be wary of inviting in strangers. The vampire could enter if they, the occupant (but not owner) invited them in.
Your best bet is to just stab everyone who asks to enter with a silver crucifix-stake dipped in garlic and holy water.
So it’s use-based ownership. Dark magic is marxist
Counterpoint: people who had their folktales recorded weren’t mud-hut peasants, and probably owned their own homes.
Your best bet is to strip nekkid, and double dog dare visitors to come in “against your will” while you have a potato cannon filled with wooden stakes handy.
They come in? BAM, bye, trespasser!
They run in fear? BAM, bye, bloodsucker!

Thank you! Finally some good and clear leagle advice on the internet!
Isn’t silver for werewolves, not vampires?
Best to be safe, in case of a hybrid werewolf-vampire.
A werepire? Vampwolf (works better if you do an accent like vampvulf)?
Depends on the myth. Silver “worked” because it was considered mystically pure.
You know, despite tarnishing when you look at it funny.
tarnishing when you look at it funny.
Didn’t use to before mass coal burning etc. released shittons of hydrogen sulfide into the atmosphere, so appropriate to the era.
Mirrors were made out of silver and that’s the reason vampires are said to have no reflection. Silver was considered pure and holy.
It depends. Read the fine print in your Rental Agreement. Usually if utilities are included, so are vampires. Otherwise there’s a fee for inviting them in.
When the landlord rents the property out they give up some of their rights to that property. They can’t just let anyone in whenever they want. Therefore, you, the occupant can allow a vampire in, while your landlord cannot. At least, not without giving you prior notification and possibly hiring the vampire to do some sort of work.
My ex landlord found this out the hard way. Put up cameras and they ended up paying for 6ish months of my rent and my court and legal costs which weren’t much because I did it pro se.
That’s why so many vampires are contractors these days.
These two replies are great.
Made my day, thank you!
Most vampires are perfectly capable of breaking and entering. It’s a pretty rare weakness for a vampire to require permission to enter a house, and in any case, it’s psychosomatic, as in, nothing bad happens to the vampire if they break the rule, and anybody who the vampire 🧛♀️ believes to be able to grant permission can do so.
However, breaking and entering in order to suck blood does endanger the Masquerade somewhat. So the local prince might chose to ban the practice, or at least require the use of tools that don’t leave visible traces. No kicking down the door, use a lockpick instead.
Ever see “Let the Right One In”? Best example I e seen of what happens to a vamp that comes in uninvited.
