[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 7477099, member: 57383"] It's a bit more complicated than that. Most of the background text revolves around their inability to spawn and how they serve regular vampires: I'm thinking we ought to leave that version in the CC and add a "Lesser Vampire (revised)" entry with Create Spawn plus new background text, maybe with a note to explain the correction. Something like this: Lesser vampires are the weakest of vampirekind, but also the most social. They infiltrate humanoid society, feeding discretely until found out. Once their true nature is revealed, lesser vampires attack with a feral ferocity. Lesser vampires are pack hunters, capable of killing off an entire settlement in a single night. They care little for whom they devour. Most lesser vampires were once victims who died from a lesser vampire's blood draining. These monsters often destroy the corpses of their victims to avoid spawning unwanted competition. A few normal vampires have the ability to create lesser vampires rather than (or in addition to) vampire spawn. These lesser vampires are unable to create spawn as long as the vampire who created them exists. They make excellent foot soldiers, scouts and spies for the more powerful vampires. [B]Create Spawn (Su):[/B] A humanoid or monstrous humanoid slain by a lesser vampire’s blood drain rises as a lesser vampire 1d4 days after their death. [I]Note:[/I] This is a correction of the Creature Catalog's Lesser Vampire conversion. I'd also add the following to the original CC version: [I]Note:[/I] This conversion is missing the Create Spawn ability of the original, see Lesser Vampire (revised) for a corrected version. [/QUOTE]
