You always see talk about weapons against vampires... but what about the best weapons FOR vampires? Not that they really need them against feeble mortals, but there are other reasons to carry them.
Of course I'm ignoring the distasteful version that is little more than mindless snarling beasts and focusing instead of cultured vampires in full possession of their mental faculties. Think World of Darkness, Castlevania, Might & Magic, and other fantasy scenarios in movies, video games, tabletop RPGs, etc.
Hope you're enjoying the spooky season, and Happy Halloween!
