[QUOTE="airwalkrr, post: 5504147, member: 12460"] A good vampire huh? Well there are ways to cure that. Resurrection will return to life a creature that was formerly undead. So destroy her and resurrect her. Or just stop at step 1. I'm reminded of the story of the frog and the scorpion. The scorpion and the frog both wanted to get across the river. The scorpion asked the frog to carry her on his back. The frog knew this was foolish, and said no. But the scorpion answered that if she were to sting the frog while crossing the river, they would both die and certainly the scorpion didn't want to die. Well the frog saw the logic in that and let the scorpion crawl on his back to cross the river. Halfway across the river the frog felt the sting of a scorpion on his back. As he felt the poison coursing through his veins he asked the scorpion why she had condemned them both to death. The scorpion replied, "I'm a scorpion. I can't deny my nature." Its in the nature of a vampire to drink blood of innocent creatures that never did them any harm. That is why the monster manual entry says ALWAYS evil. Unless you can come up with a vampire that doesn't do that, then it has to be evil. Otherwise it isn't a vampire. If you like the idea of "good undead," I suggest you use the deathless template. Maybe she isn't a vampire at all, but a vampire who transformed herself to some other kind of deathless creature by the ritual she performed. [/QUOTE]
