Vampire Vulnerabilities Vampire Vulnerabilities; All vampires possess the following vulnerabilities.
- Compulsions Vampires are creatures with strange and unknowable compulsions. A typical vampire can't voluntarily cross running water unless they're transported while they hide within their coffin, nor can they enter a private dwelling unless invited in by someone with the authority to do so. At your discretion, vampires might have different compulsions—a pirate vampire might not be able to set foot on solid ground without being invited, for example. The vampire can still be forced to do these things and might be able to overcome their compulsion just as they do their revulsion (see below).
- Revulsion A vampire can't voluntarily come within 10 feet of brandished garlic or a brandished religious symbol of a deity with a holy sanctification option. To brandish garlic or a religious symbol, a creature must Interact to do so, and it remains brandished for 1 round (similar to Raising a Shield). If the vampire involuntarily comes within 10 feet of an object of their revulsion, they gain the fleeing condition, running from the object of their revulsion until they end an action beyond 10 feet. After 1 round of being exposed to the subject of their revulsion, a vampire can attempt a DC 27 Will save as a single action, which has the concentrate trait. On a success, they overcome their revulsions for 1d6 rounds (or 1 hour on a critical success).
- Stake A wooden stake driven through a vampire's heart drops the vampire to 0 HP and prevents them from healing above 0 HP, even in their coffin. Staking a vampire requires 3 actions and works only if the vampire is unconscious. If the stake is removed, the vampire can heal above 0 HP again, and if they're in their coffin, the 1-hour rest period begins once the stake is removed. If the vampire's head is severed and anointed with holy water while the stake is in place, the vampire is destroyed.
- Sunlight If exposed to direct sunlight, a vampire immediately becomes slowed 1. The slowed value increases by 1 each time the vampire ends their turn in sunlight, and the condition ends when they're no longer in sunlight. If the vampire loses all their actions in this way, they're destroyed. Due to their supernatural aversion to light, vampires don't cast shadows or show a reflection in mirrors.
- Raudltz is particularly sensitive if anyone even hints at the idea that not all of his children are legitimate heirs to the Arudora fortune and name. Any attempt to Demoralize or Feint against Raudltz that incorporates the linguistic trait and taunts him about rumors of illegitimate children gain a +2 circumstance bonus to the check. On a success, Raudltz is stupefied 1 for 1 round in addition to the other effects (stupefied 1 for 1 minute on a critical success). If he has any dominated PCs at this time, each dominated PC can attempt a new saving throw against Dominate to end the effect early, but no more often than once per round.

Change Shape [one-action] (concentrate, divine, polymorph) The vampire transforms into one of their animal forms or back into their normal form. Most vampires can turn into a bat, but some can turn into a different creature, such as a rat or a wolf. Use the options in the aerial form and animal form spells as guidelines.
- Bat The vampire changes into a bat swarm or giant bat. They gain echolocation 40 feet, a land Speed of 20 feet and a fly Speed of 30 feet, and a fangs Strike (fangs +24 for 3d8+16 piercing). These fangs deal the same amount of damage as the vampire's claws but deal piercing damage rather than slashing damage.
A victim's drained condition decreases by 1 per week. A blood transfusion, which requires a DC 22 Medicine check and sufficient blood or a blood donor, reduces the drain by 1 after 10 minutes.Turn to Mist [one-action] (air, concentrate, divine, polymorph) The vampire turns into a cloud of vapor, as the vapor form spell, or back to their normal form. The vampire loses fast healing while turned to mist. The vampire can remain in this form indefinitely.
