[edit] NPC Sundamage

I'm just wondering if it's worth pointing out here that NPC Vampires do not take Sun Damage? I've already got it as a note in my sample Vampire NPC page. The Article does say 'This effect is most familiar to Vampires, for whom it is one of the most significant drawbacks of vampirism', however it IS pretty obvious that it's referring to Player Vampires when it speaks of a draw back, however it is possible that readers may see that as a weakness for NPC Vampires. If it's needed, it's no problem for me to add it, but wasn't sure where it would be more appropriate Aensland 16:39, 20 August 2008 (EDT)

They do take sun damage, its just a one time thing though, its not like the player who takes damage from it constantly. Chibiace 16:47, 20 August 2008 (EDT)

I haven't tested it, but I thought vampires took continual sun damage? They certainly have the "Vampirism100" ability, which includes 8 points of sun damage. –Rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 01:30, 21 August 2008 (EDT)

I tested it myself, using GetAV Health, and it seems to cause a very minor amount of health damage (less than 0.1, at least in my tests), before apparently undoing itself (i.e, the number went up again); this would seem to be consistant with Chibicane's suggestion that they take it only one time, rather than continually. Edit Note-- I wrote 'Set' instead of 'Get', just changed it to prevent confusion. Aensland 05:24, 21 August 2008 (EDT)

I see what you mean. Very odd. They have an active effect of Sun Damage 8 points, but it does do them any damage. That could charitably be described as a bug. –Rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 06:43, 21 August 2008 (EDT)

Ah, this seems contrary to my experiences. I have killed Vampires by luring them into the sunlight and letting that finish them off.

• I have the hands of midnight and as soon as I put them on my health goes to nearly zero, if hands of midnight is 30 points of sun damage does that meen with 100 vampire I take 4 times less damage?

That would not make any sense, since X damage + Y damage = X+Y damage. Paddymew 08:51, 3 June 2009 (EDT)

[edit] Ref ID

What is the Ref ID for sun damage on a 100% vampire? I want to remove sun damage from my char. but I don't want to filter through the list given in the console command tutorial. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.183.151.24722 June 2009 (talk • contribs).

[edit] Spell making

Is it possible or is there a mod that allows one to use sun damage as a spell? I just got berne's aura tome.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.233.128.66 (talk • contribs) on 17:26, 20 September 2009.

you can activate the spell for spell making in the TES (the editor). Open the magic effects, select "sun damage," check "spell making" box. Save as a plugin, load it through Oblivion mod manager. Beware that using custom sun damage spells is considered cheating, as no enemy has immunity to it, so it would be a very powerful spell. WRFan 23:11, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

can you make a custom sun damage spell on say the xbox??--82.42.169.60 18:50, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

No, on the XBox it's not possible to make custom sun damage spells. ^Talk Wolok gro-Barok _{Contributions} 07:21, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Sun Damage spell resistance

When your a vampire (i dont want to be on yet) the sun damage effect is in active effects page if you use a 100% magic resistance spell or use clothes with magic resistance would it resist the sun damage?--VergilSparda 19:02, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Sun Damage formula

Moved from article:
A constant Restore Health spell with a magnitude of 16 points per second will counter the effects of sun damage completely, for any vampire level, at any time of the day. Since 100% Vampirism gives the player an 8 point sun damage penalty, it can be assumed that during the sun zenith the actual sun damage dealt is x2 multiplier of the penalty.

I think it would be more useful to provide a formula to calculate the total damage done at specific times of the day. This note would indicate that the maximum factor is 2 (and the minimum is 0). --Timenn-<talk> 08:58, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
