Vampires and multiclassing

Written by: Dhar, the Underking

I've gone through and tried to sort out Vampires a bit to better deal
with multiclass. It should work pretty much how it did previously, minus
a few changes.

Bloodborn
-----------------
- Bloodborn can inguild novices again.
* They will need to be undead, and will only have access to
Corpus and Mentis.
- In order to promote a newbie from novicehood, they will need
to undergo the Blood Rebirth ritual.
* This will grant Hematurgy and turn them into a vampire if
not already.
- You can use the Blood Rebirth ritual to induct someone into
the guild as a full member, however they will be Unclassed
until guild rank three.
- Performing Blood Rebirth on a player will make them your
childe, and you the sire, unless they already have a sire.
- Providing your apprentice is a vampire, you can now give the
Bloodborn class to people with the CLASS APPRENTICE verb.
- Newbies can join the Bloodborn guild from the tour and
through Certimene again, however this will make them undead
(but not a vampire).
- Only Bloodborn rogues can be inducted into the guild using
the INGUILD verb without the novice argument, otherwise
use the Blood Rebirth ritual.
- GUILD PROMOTE and GRADUATE FROM NOVICEHOOD will no longer
work for the novice in question, they will need to undergo
the Blood Rebirth ritual.
* This is to ensure that only full vampires will ever have
access to Hematurgy.

Nightstalkers
-----------------
- The Nightstalker class is essentially now just a precursor
to obtaining the full Praenomen class.
- Becoming a Nightstalker through Kelende will turn you undead
(but not a vampire), so be aware of that.

Vampires
-----------------
- The only way to gain the full Praenomen class to be embraced
by another with the class.
* This will make you a vampire if not already, however you
keep your current sire if you already have one.
- You cannot gain the Praenomen class through the apprentice verb.

Multiclassing
-----------------
- All instances where you gain a class will now switch your
current class to that class, and strip all class defences and
the sort.
* This will not set the cooldown off, so you will be able to
change back if you so wish.

Certimene
-----------------
- Certimene can now turn newbies that are undead back into the
living, providing they are under level 21. Simply ASK CERTIMENE
BECOME LIVING.
