Message: <blockquote data-quote="Silverglass" data-source="post: 1403923" data-attributes="member: 14071">I probably would not use the Undead Template, the reason being that the vampires as shown seemed to take the increased effects of blows to vital points so would not be immune to criticals, they also seem able to heal themselves over time.I'd probably create a "Unliving Possessed" Template that had some of the Undead Type qualities. It would be affected by critical hits but would have regeneration that was ignored by Sunlight, Good, Fire, possibly Magic, Staking and Decapitation. This would allow such a creature to be easily destroyed by a wooden stake or decapitation performed as a Coup de Grace or by repeated staking attempts, it would also allow the creatures to be killed by a Vorpal Weapon or by Buffy (who would have the Good subtype).Unliving Possession TypeFeatures: An Unliving Possession creature has the following features.—12-sided Hit Dice.—Base attack bonus equal to 2/3 total Hit Dice (as cleric).—Good Will and Fortitude saves.—Skill points equal to (4 + Int modifier, minimum 1) per Hit Die, with quadruple skill points for the first Hit Die.Traits: An UP creature possesses the following traits (unless otherwise noted in a creature’s entry).-Low Light Vision.—Immunity to all mind-affecting effects (charms, compulsions, phantasms, patterns, and morale effects).—Immunity to non-magical poison, sleep effects, paralysis, stunning, disease, and death effects.—Not subject to ability drain or energy drain. Immune to damage to its physical ability scores (Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution), as well as to fatigue and exhaustion effects.—Immunity to any effect that requires a Fortitude save (unless the effect also works on objects or is harmless).—When reduced to 0 hit points or less, it is immediately destroyed.—Not affected by raise dead and reincarnate spells or abilities. Resurrection and true resurrection can affect such creatures. These spells turn such creatures back into the living creatures they were before becoming Unliving Possessed.—Proficient with its natural weapons, all simple weapons, and any weapons mentioned in its entry.—Proficient with whatever type of armor (light, medium, or heavy) it is described as wearing, as well as all lighter types. UPs not indicated as wearing armor are not proficient with armor. UPs are proficient with shields if they are proficient with any form of armor.—Unliving Possesed do not breathe, eat, or sleep and are unaffected by aging.-Ability Modifiers +6 Str, +2 Con, +2 Dex-Regeneration 5 (Sunlight, Fire, Good, Wooden Stakes, Decapitation)-Sunlight causes 2d6 damager per round.</blockquote>
