[QUOTE="Eremite, post: 2099135, member: 24296"] ECL = HD + LA so an ECL of 18 would translate to about 8 character levels (LA for a vampire lord, IIRC, is 10). I'll assume that you mean that the vampire lord will have about 18 character levels. You can't be politically affluent (affluent = wealthy). I'll assume you mean politically powerful and wealthy as well. I'm not sure what you mean by "'jack' with the players"; perhaps you could explain this? Um, you can't inflitrate a guy; you can infiltrate an organisation amongst other things. I'll assume you mean how did the vampire lord manage to infiltrate the community. Perhaps the easiest thing to do is to assume that the vampire lord was originally a respected member of the community and a cleric within the good church (BTW, it would be helpful if you would post some brief details on the two good and evil religions involved). The vampire lord was originally LN within a LG church. That means he had a natural tendency to a philosophy that could be briefly described as the ends justifying the means. In due course he took this philosophy too far and became LE. In addition to this, a minion of an evil deity offered a great temptation: eternal life (however in the fine print was the curse of vampirism). Perhaps the same deity also protects the vampire lord from detection magic? Now, the vampire lord has become a noted crusader and inquisitor for the good church seeking to quash evil wherever it may be found. Chaotic evil, that is; the vampire lord is but a pawn in a battle between rival factions of evil. Anyway, just some rough ideas but if you provide some more information on the churches of your campaign world and maybe some general plot points I think I might be able to provide you with something more suited to your game.
