Ah, well, here's a template for a change. Music, please! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Lhiannan SheeLhiannan shee are vampiric undead with an affinity for bardic talents, appearing as beautiful humanoids. In live, they commited suicide due to their love to an unreachable artist, often a bard. They look much as they did in live, but much more beautiful and splendid.More often than not, lhiannan shee are female spirits, and thought to be related to either banshees or fey. For the most part, only bards know the true nature of these undead... and keep silent.Lhiannan shee are no combatants. If they are attacked, they flee as fast as possible, and/or let their victims deal with the trouble. Likewise, they do not attack creatures to touch them, instead seducing a likely victim. Many pose as lovers of music or art, others might seem like a happy, random encounter, and yet others might pose as people of certain professions.Creating a lhiannan shee„Lhiannan shee“ is a template that can be applied to any humanoid, monstrous humanoid or giant (hereafter referred to as  the„character“). The character’s type changes to „undead“. It uses all the base creature’s statistics and special abilities, excepts as noted here.Hit Dice: Increase all Hit Dice, whether natural or class, to d12.AC: In sunlight or within effects such as a daylight spell, when being incorporeal, the lhiannan shee receives a deflection bonus equal to its Charisma bonus to AC. Within effects such as a light spell, it receives a deflection bonus equal to half its Charisma bonus to AC.Special Attacks: A lhiannan shee retains all the special attacks of the base creature and also gains those listed below. Saves have a DC of 10 + 1/2 lhiannan shee’s HD + lhiannan shee’s Charisma modifier unless otherwise noted.Charming Touch (Su): Once per night, a lhiannan shee can use a touch attack to charmthe touched creature unless it makes a Will save. This works just as the spell  charm person, except that it also works on monstrous humanoids and giants, and the touched creature regards the lhiannan shee as a lover. The touched creature suffers a -1 penalty to its save for every three ranks it has in the Perform skill. This charm only ends with the death of the victim or the lhiannan shee, or if broken with break enchantment, remove curse or similar effect cast by a caster of at least 10th level. It cannot be dispelled. Caster level = 10 plus Hit Dice of the lhiannan shee.Draining Kiss (Su): Once per night, a lhiannan shee can demand a kiss from a charmed victim that drains the victims power. The kisser must make a Fortitude save or suffer 1 point of Constitution drain. There is no save to avoid kissing the lhiannan shee - a charmed victim gladly does so. The lhiannan shee receives the benefits of an inflict critical wounds spell, as though cast by a cleric of the kisser’s level. This ability bypasses the lhiannan shee’s Unhealing quality. A creature that dies to the lhiannan shee’s kiss cannot be resurrected by any power short of a true resurrection, wish or miracle. Usually, a lhiannan shee only demands a kiss once every third night.Special Qualities: A lhiannan shee retains all the special qualities of the base creature and also gains those listed below.Charm Bond (Ex): A victim of the lhiannan shee’s charm ability that sees its lover threatened or harmed gains a +2 bonus to all attacks, checks and saves. This bonus lasts as long as the threat is immediate and apparent, and 5 rounds thereafter.Damage Reduction (Su): A lhiannan shee’s undead body is hard to damage, granting it damage reduction 10/+1Darkvision: The lhiannan shee has darkvision of 60 feet.Immunities and  Resistances: Lhiannan shee are immune to cold and have electricity resistancer of 15. Nonetheless, a lhiannan shee hit by an electric effect flees as soon as possible.Luminal Incorporeality (Ex): A lhiannan shee is normally corporeal, but light causes its body to partially dematerializie. In nonmagical light or light spells of 2nd or lower level, the lhiannan shee suffers a -4 penalty to Strength and gains a deflection bonus equal to half its Charisma bonus, if any. In direct sunlight or light spells of 3rd level or higher, the lhiannan shee becomes fully incorporeal, gaining the incorporeal subtype, having the Strength nonability and a deflection bonus equal to its Charisma bonus, with a minimum of +1.Perverted Muse (Ex): The creature charmed by a lhiannan shee is considered to have 5 additional ranks in Perform. This grants a +5 bonus to Perform checks and might allow the victim to use greater bardic music abilities or similar abilities based on Perform ranks. Also, once per day, the victim may double one of the effects of one of his bardic music abilities.Selective Invisibility (Su): A lhiannan shee is naturally invisible, as though affected by the spell invisibility. A lhiannan shee that loses its invisibility can reactivate it as a free action, but only during her turn. Lhiannan shee can designate one or more creatures that can see them normally, usually their intended victim and his companions. Lhiannan shee only show themselves to other creatures than their victim if their absence would cause suspicion. They usually use this ability to spy on a possible victim before revealing their presence.Spell Resistance: Lhiannan shee are hard to affect with spells and spell-like abilities, gaining a SR of 15 plus its Hit Dice.Turn Resistance (Ex): A lhiannan shee has +4 turn resistance.Undead Traits: A lhiannan shee is immune to mind-affecting effexts, poison, sleep, paralysis, stunning, disease, death effects, necromantic effects, and any effect that requires a Fortitude save unless it also works on objects. It is not subject to critical hits, subdual damage, ability damage, ability drain, or death from massive damage. A lhiannan shee cannot be raised, and resurrection works only if it is willing.Unhealing: Lhiannan shee do not heal normally, and even magical healing with negative energy does not work. The only way for a lhiannan shee to heal is via the draining kiss ability.Saves: Same as the base creatureAbilities: Adjust from the base creature as follows: Str -2, Dex +4, Int +2, Wis +2, Cha +8. As undead creatures, lhiannan shee have no Constitution score.Skills: Lhiannan shee receive a +8 racial bonus to Bluff, Listen, Move Silently, Perform, Search, Sense Motive and Spot checks.
