[QUOTE="Greenfield, post: 5775140, member: 6669384"] You mean like the Strength Drain ability of a Shadow? Negative energy, already explained. As for the "blood supply" question, it harkens back to my question regarding [I]Death Ward[/I] and the Vampire's CON draining bite. What, does it replenish his supply, or just cause rapid clotting? Or does it apply at all? (Technically it shouldn't, but everyone I know lumps it in with other Undead negative energy attacks.) Some ability loss spells, such as [I]Touch of Idiocy[/I], are actually "Enchantment (Compulsion) [Mind-Affecting]" according to the SRD. Would [I]Death Ward[/I] stop that, or would it call for something like [I]Mind Blank[/I]? (Note that [I]Mind Blank[/I] specifically protects against mind affecting spells and abilities, while [I]Death Ward[/I] stops death effects, energy drains and negative energy effects.) And if we can call an Orange an Orange, why can't we call a Banana a Yellow? I understand Blueberries, but would someone please explain Gooseberries to me? Sorry, I'm back. As for the Vampire drinking from the CON boosted individual, I guess it's like the old jokes about Chinese Food: An hour later you're hungry again. :) [/QUOTE]
