They have a dwarven vampire enemy who got away, and likely wants to come back and kick their ass.Well, I was pondering what to do, to make an interesting cohort for him. I had the mental image of this liquid armor, which was sort've T-1000 ish. THen I got the mental image of a dwarf forming axes out of his hands and just going to town on some enemies. And then, it hit me.An undead form of Dwarf that seems more Dwarf then anything.Imagine if a dwarf fused itself with metal and stone, bound with Fire and fleshThe dwarf is undeniably undead, but has vampire-like abilities. The Gaseous form is actually turning into liquid metal (Which it can attack from; imagine a liquid metal snakelike body that forms a solid tip, stabbing or smashing). It could create spawn by injecting parts of the metalic body into 'spawn'. Could drain con by injecting metal into the body, which starts to tear them up. Fast healing? Cake! It could form weapons instantly from the metal surface, which looks like armor that can conceal itself in the body. So you have a dwarf charging with spikes starting to grow from his arms and head. Then, if it's reduced to zero hit points, could leak away. If they found the 'coffin', imagine trying to stake something with a metal shell? The 'Heart' is actually a large gem in the dwarf's chest. They'd need a metal chisel with the symbol of a dwarven god, and a blessed hammer to stake the 'vampire'.Instead of summoning wolves and bats, it could summon elementals and para-elementals (Magma), for the Fires of the Forge rage within the undead. Some more interesting powers could be such as absorbing metal, to heal or to beef up AC, or to do Something, or perhaps draining the hardness and quality of metal to the point of making them brittle. Is it sad I'm trying to create Dwarf of the Borg?</blockquote>
