From Ravenblack CityWiki

Weapons are items that vampires may use against other vampires, primarily in order to harm them. The harm done consists of a BP loss for the attacked victim.

Weapons are generally one-use-only, meaning the weapon disappears when used.

Weapon types

There are several weapons, and all have their optimal niche:

• Vial of Holy Water — most potent, especially against high-BP vampires
• Garlic Spray — moderate damage, cost-efficient against low- to medium-BP vampires
• Wooden Stake — for quickly finishing low-BP vampires off

Also, there is:

• Scroll of Turning — a crowd-control weapon

Optimal choice?

This table gives a brief illustration of how the battle economics of different weapons can depend on target strength:

Weapon	Regular cost	Target strength	Damage	coins/damage
Scroll of Turning	500 coins	any	10 BP*	50*

Vial of Holy Water	2,000 coins	1,000 BP	63 BP	32
Vial of Holy Water	2,000 coins	2,000 BP	96 BP	21

Where to get

Weapons are available in different shops depending on type, but Magic Shops offer them all.

Weapons and Neutrality

A vampire with the power of Neutrality cannot use weapons, and any weapon attacks harm him or her less. Scroll of Turning may be used, but will not cause BP loss.

Weapons and Battle Cloak

A vampire wearing a Battle Cloak may use weapons on other cloaked vampires only.
