[QUOTE="Steinhauser, post: 5023630, member: 86705"] Sure, that makes more sense. Or maybe cold blood should be irrelevant - I don't think there's anything different about the actual blood itself, just the creature's self-regulation of body temperature (or lack thereof). Either way I very much doubt it'll come up a lot; most fantasy worlds aren't particularly reptile-heavy. Some more thoughts occur. "Vampires cannot willingly cross running water. They can be carried over without actively resisting, but they cannot will themselves to cross it." What about mounts? Would a vampire be able to guide his mount to carry him over the water? Or train it to cross a bridge no matter how much he resists, then tie himself to the saddle? What kind of effect is it - a fear/morale effect? Compulsion? What if danger loomed - say the sun was rising and the only way to stay in the shadow was to cross a river. I ask because automatic, behaviour-modifying effects can be hard for players to go along with, especially if they don't allow a Will save.
