Stronger Vampirism

I understand a lot of people like to invert the stages, but I actually like from a gameplay perspective how you are incentivized to feed so that you don't receive sun damage.

I adjusted it so that you won't receive Sun Damage in the first 2 stages of Vampirism (25 & 50).  This way most players will be trying to hit that sweet spot of 50 where they aren't so full bellied and calm, but still closer to human so you don't take Sun Damage yet you feel your true power starting to come out.

Basically I see it as the more full you are the calmer & more human you are, and as you become hungry your true form starts to emerge and you become wickedly powerful as you immensely crave blood.

"Consuming blood also allows vampires of some bloodlines to maintain a more inconspicuous appearance, dulling their vampiric qualities."

"Blood may not be needed to stay "alive", but going without it can cause a vampire to become extremely weak and rabid, though some types of vampires will instead become stronger. However, they will still turn rabid after going too long without blood..."

"...vampires' capabilities often include incredible speed, advanced mystical talent, and unnatural strength..."

Vampirism at stage 4 or (100) is actually very powerful and fun to play!  Be a true creature of the night as you leap onto building tops watching your prey.

I made this Guards Attack Vampires mod for more immersion with this mod! :)
