[QUOTE="Hrothgar Rannúlfr, post: 3781854, member: 54436"] [b]E6, Vampires, & ECL (Effective Character Level)[/b] My hurdle that I was having difficulty getting over was the idea of ECL (Effective Character Level). Vampires have a +8 Level Adjustment and are, therefore, over the E6 Level Limit to begin with... UNLESS, we consider the idea that a 6th level character plus 10 feats is effectively an 8th level character. And, with that line of thinking, there's not really a reason not to use the True Vampire as is with the +8 Level Adjustment and all. It just means that a fighter6 that gets turned into a vampire will go from 6th level plus X feats to ECL 14. And, in that case, I might rule that the character couldn't gain any extra feats until the XP deficit were paid to reach the E6 equivalent of ECL 14 (Minimum total of 215,000 XP or 6th level plus 40 feats where 5 feats/ECL times 8 equals 40 feats)... which would effectively remove any potential advancement of the character for the rest of the campaign. Is there a better way to rule in the situation? [/QUOTE]
