Some time ago, playing rogue 7.2 I believe, I observed something which made me form this hypothsis: Vampires are destroyed by light. I was wearing a ring of luminesence, and occasionally I would see what appeared to be a Vampire pop into the room through the door and then pop out again. But if I went down the hall where it should be, it was not there. So I have come to believe that the Vampires were not popping out of the room, but were in fact dying and disappearing. I don't think my experience points changed, though. Tom Portegys, BTL IH
