Vault Of the Vampire, written by Keith Martin, is the 38th Fighting Fantasy book. It is based in the magical world of Titan, on the continent known as the Old World.
This book is unusual in that it uses a "Faith" score. Unlike the other scores (Skill, Stamina, Luck) the Faith score can exceed its Initial value. The reader might also get "Afflications" or curses during the adventure. This book, like all of Keith Martin's other books, has not current been reprinted by Wizard.
[edit] Story
The reader assumes himself/herself as a warrior who went to the Old World in search of treasure, but in the end is sent by some villagers to Castle Heydrich, to rescue a girl who was kidnapped by a vampire, the evil Count Reiner Heydrich, and hopefully kill the Count. The player can find various members of the Heydrich family in the castle, like Katrina Heydrich, the evil sister of the Count, who is actually 70 years old, but drinks the blood of virgins to look young and Wilhelm Heydrich, an insane cousin of the Count.
After killing the count with some special items, the player must also destroy Katrina Heydrich. Katrina was actually scheming to kill the Count so she could be the countess.
[edit] Sequel
This book also had a sequel, Revenge of the Vampire. It was number 58 in the series, thus making it harder to come by than the original.
