Oh god, I blame Nosferatu for most of the terrible vampire tropes.

We are all playing in a World of Darkness game on this glorious day.

So if I'm walking towards my house after giving one a ride I can't tell her to come on in?

Can confirm; am vampire

Can also confirm, killed vampire last week. Tree.

Can confirm, no warrent carrying vampires have gotten into my house without permission from someone inside.

Why would they need to, are you anemic and lacking in blood? 🧛‍♂️

What if the vampire limitation extends to the digital world? What if a vampire can't be a hacker because they need permission from the admin on the target system?

"I am not resisting arrest. I am merely standing inside my home to be arrested. Why would I step outside to be arrested?

Then you don't have the authority to grant them entrance

I think it's the Dresden Files mythology? But I always liked the premise that it's not the house that prevents them. It's the magic of a home. They could walk into some house a squatter is living in for a few days with no issues, but a home where people truly live make it their own, have families, memories...that's what gives the threshold power.

IIRC, even in that universe, a vampire can force it's way in, but the threshold strips it of most of its power if not invited.

I doubt that this would affect vampires at all. The rule is that they can't enter your house without being invited, not that they have to move if you build a house around them.

wait

is property lines the same as a house?

can you sublet a room on your house and hide there?

can you surround a vampire with houses and he cannot escape?

Well by that logic, if you found a vampire's lair /tomb while they slept, and then three a tent over it, wouldn't that cause them to die?

I'm def of the opinion its all about entering a building (not necessarily about being in one).

Can a vampire not break and enter? Would an invitation work if they were out of town and needed the vampire to cat sit for a weekend? Does you being in the house have an effect on the invitation or it deed based? How are renters handled? So many questions!

If you’re like me, you’re frustrated with vampire law. Here at Vampire Law, we help to keep your invitations clear and any misunderstandings cleared up.

I don't know about that. So, if they ask, "can I come in?" and you say, "Yes." then they still can't come in?

While birth is certainly a state of duress for everyone involved, the term would have extreme difficulty in just about any court (glances at the current state of US judicial system uh. mostly.) — though I get where you're coming from and don't entirely disagree.

What a world it would be if those cosplaying porklets burst into flames simply by acting outside the Rules As Written. 🤩🥓🔥🤣 ACAB.

If you’ve voted, you’ve essentially agreed to the ToS

I am not a vampire lawyer, but vampire courts do tend to side with the vampire when these types of questions come up after the fact.

natural right to be safe at home

So nobody who lives under a state is protected?
