Silly gaming/fiction idea.

So, if it is the faith of the person that controls whether or not a vampire is repelled by the appropriate "holy symbol", then inquisitors have a *nasty* way of seeing if you really believe or not. If they can capture and hold a vampire, or strike a deal with one.

Just hand the suspect the "appropriate" holy symbol And stuff them into a room with the vampire and watch the results.

One possible way of getting co-operation from the vampire might be letting him or her have anyone who fails the test.

What? Me evil?

Wouldn't the vampire get them anyway? And would cooperate if unable to escape and hungry.

Well, they've got the "holy symbol" (crucifix or whatever) of the religion they are *supposed* to be believers of. That'll keep a vampire at bay. Unless they don't really believe (say a Marano in Spain)

I'm thinking it'd work better if the vampire was a bit more *willing* to cooperate.
