It does make sense...and it is a whole lot easier on us mortals!
Do vampires regenerate stun damage? This may have been asked before...but
we've been playing that they don't regenerate stun damage...

We used to blast the crap out of a vampire and all delay actions to see
if he regenerated...if he did, we blasted him again...the best one we
ever did was three of us ganged up on a vampire and thwapped him with
8...count them, 8..white phosphorous grenades...poor thing hardly got a
chance to regenerate...*grin*
