[QUOTE="ElectricDragon, post: 7604094, member: 10778"] [B][SIZE=5]Life-Drinker[/SIZE][/B] Strong Necromancy, CL 13. [B]Prerequisites:[/B] Masterwork cold iron greataxe; 1 vampire (bound with magical chains [Craft Wondrous Item, [I]sequester[/I], and 1 day] and beheaded with the greataxe); a sacrificial altar dedicated to Nethrancor; an iron unholy symbol of Nethrancor; Craft Magical Arms and Armor feat; an iron brazier; 1 ounce of sandlewood (25 gp) and 1 ounce of sulphur (10 gp); and a gem of at least 1,000 gp value for every Hit Die possessed by the vampire. If the gem is not valuable enough, it shatters when the enchantment is attempted. (While creatures have no concept of level or Hit Dice as such, the value of the gem needed to store an individual can be researched. Remember that this value can change over time as creatures gain more Hit Dice.) [B]Condition:[/B] [I]Hollow Night[/I] holiday [B]Condition:[/B] Dusk [B]Condition:[/B] [I]unhallow[/I] effect [B]Location:[/B] [I]Hollow Night[/I] ritual site [B]Offerings:[/B] A vampire, 1 ounce of sandlewood incense, 1 ounce of sulphur [B]Directions:[/B] Affix the gem to the blade of the axe. Burn the incense and sulphur in the brazier. Behead the vampire with the axe (the chain prevents voluntary change into gaseous form, beheading forces it at the proper time, and then the gem captures the gaseous vampire and traps it). Rebuke undead on the axe as if it were a 13 HD undead, successfully 3 times; or one successful rebuke that commands a 13 HD undead. Arcane casters can omit the turning attempts and instead cast [I]enervation[/I]. Unlike normal [I]Life-Drinkers[/I], this axe radiates Strong Evil and the destruction of the axe will release the vampire who assumes humanoid form immediately and must be dealt with as a separate creature.
