Unfortunetly, the heart of a vampire's body becomes the receptacle in which the fiendish essence is contant, preventing it from creating an untainted blood source, thus the vampire must steal the blood of other mortals in order to continue its existance. Typically, this necessity of feeding comes to the vampire instinctually. Sometimes, a vampire either will not be able to feed for various reasons or they choose not to feed because of their own morals. The bodies of vampires that do not feed, start to deteriorate as the fiendish essence within start to literally consume the body from within. Vampires who have gone this far risk becoming one of the ravenous undead, mindless vampiric monsters.Vampiric ConstitutionUnlike most undead, a vampire retains their Constitution score. A vampire gains an inherent +1 bonus to their Constitution for each level in a vampire racial class they attain. Damage to a vampire's Constitution is always considered temporary. However, if a vampire is brought to a 0 Constitution they are destroyed instantly.Vampiric BloodA vampire has a total amount of Vampiric Blood points equal to their Constitution score. These points are spend to power the various talents of a vampire. Vampiric Blood is also burned off if a vampire succumbs to the Blood Thirst (see below). Additionally, Vampiric Blood may be spent to heal or even improve a vampire's chances of success. A vampire may burn  2 Vampiric Blood points to heal 1d4+1 damage a full-round action. The vampire may also focus his blood towards an action as a full-round action at a rate of +1 per 2 Vampiric Blood points burned.FeedingA vampire must immobilize or incapacitate a being in order to feed. This can be through grappling or via other means. The vampire can take no other actions during the feeding period and must manifest his Vampiric Visage in order to begin feeding. A vampire can drain 1 Constitution point per round from a source. A living source is killed if its Constitution is brought to 0 from a vampire feeding off of it. If a vampire feeds of another vampire they drain Vampiric Blood instead of Constitution. A vampire drained of all blood in this manner will enter a comatose state and will rise as a Ravenous Dead within 24 hours. Any blood drained past the normal 5 Constitution required each day is converted to replenish a vampire's spent Vampiric Blood points. Typically, humanoids and medium to large sized animals will transfer on a one for one basis. Smaller animals will only transfer at 2 Constitution to 1 Vampiric Blood point ratio.Blood ThirstThe fiendish essence empowering a vampire tends to burn blood at an accelerated rate. Since a vampire does not have the physiology to create blood on its own it must steal what it needs from other lifeforms. The vampire must feed (requiring the vampire to manifest their Vampiric Visage and drain a minimum of 5 points of Constitution from another being) or begin to succumb to the blood thirst. The first 24 hour period a vampire goes without feeding a Will save (DC 10) or the vampire burns 1d4 points of Vampiric Blood. Each 24 hour period increased the Will save DC by +5 and the damage increases by +1d4 on a failed save.    A vampire who is brought to 0 Vampiric Blood from burn caused by the Blood Thirst enters a comatose state as his fiendish essence dies. The vampire will rise as a Ravenous Dead within 24 hours.</blockquote>
