  Either that or increase the delay until the sun starts to damage you.

  I concur, Full sun resistance.

  It's not about covering up for protection, lore in general states exposure to the sun will set a vampire to flames. Typically near instantly. Human form is simply an illusionary cover, concealing your appearance by deceiving others with a brain fog effect. Unlike the shapeshifting for wolf/frog or bat.
  
  IF human form is going to get any consideration for full sun resist.. it should have a downside of blood drain over time while being used.

  Human Form already has the downside of draining blood faster, also walking much slower. The only upside is that you can walk pass MOST enemies without getting into a fight. You can't even open a chest. Sure, you can buy items from a merchant but already have to weaken yourself just to carry the silver. I, in truth find little to no point using the human with all the downsides it has.

  nah, it's gonna be too easy. and in the end game you won't really be needing this. this is made so to spice up the game a bit.

  Or just make human form +50% sun resistance, so whatever gear / buffs you have, it just enhances it.

  Not just some sun resistance, but some silver resist as well so you can actually carry silver to trade.

  Human form should give a +50 resistance to sun, garlic and silver. That way you can actually pretend to be a human, go trade silver and so on.

  I would agree, that a form of sun and silver resistance makes sense as its not a combat ability, bear form gets it.

  I like the idea of having a buffed resistance perhaps only scaling with SR gear in exchange for the form's blood drainage. It makes sense to me since it's a shapeshift and not just a simple disguise.

  I'd like to say in Human form you get an additional 12 seconds of sun-resistance stacking on what you already have.
  The form is so slow.
  In Silverlight in the big city it is really useless in some parts of town.
  Even without the many sacred energy using people who seem to feel that we are Unholy, there are many streets that cannot be passed without clouds.
  
  And also it is just wierd that even in this big City people just walk around like in the day, during the night.
  NPC's could use some more realistic behaviour and people will hopefully SLEEP in their beds at night. =)
  Make it so you have to unlock the door like one of this golden chests.
  Or that you could jump in through open windows.

  Deathlotus kinda shot that argument in the foot, going by what they say, bear and wolf forms should have sun resistance since they are a shapechange?
  
  If human form is an illusion then why the full body cape?
  
  I think the bottom line is - it is not clear WHAT exactly Human "form" is supposed to be. "Form" usually implies actual shapechange.
  But the TL;DR is, however it was intended, the result is that it's awkward and clunky and underused, The devs will know by stats for sure but I bet most players fool with it when they get it then ignore it. So it needs to be reworked to have more utility, be less clunky and not feel so sluggish to use, etc. There's lots of ways to do it, but the first step would be the devs looking at it and saying: what exactly do we want to accomplish with this, and what do we want the underlying mechanic / "lore" of the power to be? Otherwise all our suggestions are wild guesses.

  What makes sense for sunresistance is the cloak the human transformation is wearing. Increased sunresistance seems plausible.

  Just make hats and cloaks have sun resistance. It doesn't make sense that we have all these hats in the game and they give zero sun resistance lol. There should be consistency. If cloaks have stats, then the hats should have stats as well.
  
  I don't like however the fact that in the end-game, I can't wear my favorite looking cloaks in the game and I have to choose between "two", because the stats aren't good enough.

  This is complete nonsense.. -.-'
  Omg, you stay in human form, to convince other humans, but you're not one, though you're a vampire still, and you don't have sun resistance..
  If you put this in the game, it will break the immersion..

  How can I downvote this?
  
  You are still a vampire, clothes commonly don't help with the sun but in some series helps. Roof is lightproof but ofc some light is always coming inside but this is comparable to sunlight reflecting from the moon. You could have fully lightproof clothes, mask, helmet etc., yes, and this would allow vampires to walk outside during the daylight.
  
  All forms should work the same with the sunlight.

  I think human form is good as it is. HOWEVER, you could wear items that enhance your sun resistance. We do need those.
  Late game human form could end up being almost invulnerable to the sun.

  I disagree with this. Sun should always be a danger for a vampire, and making it go away when you pretend to be a human doesn't make much sense lore wise. There are plenty of options for reducing sun damage, but really, there's enough shade around that the only time I actually worry about the sun is when traveling and caught in an open area, and open area bossfights.

  Good Points actually. So much Cape and Clothing around You. It should increase your Sun Resistance by a bit.
