A character that has been a dread vampire for 10,000 years and has 15 or more HD can replace the dread vampire template with the antediluvian vampire template through a blood ritual that consume 300,000 gp of rare materials and require 24 hours to be brought to fruition. An antediluvian vampire uses the base creature’s stats and abilities except as noted here.CR: As the base creature +9.Alignment: Any evil.Type: The creature’s type changes to undead with the appropriate augmented subtype. Do not recalculate base attack bonuses, saves, or skill points.Senses: An antediluvian vampire gains blindsight +60 ft., scent, and the see in darkness special ability.Armor Class: Natural armor improves by +12.Hit Dice: Change all of the base creature’s racial HD to d8s.Defensive Abilities: An antediluvian vampire has DR 10/epic, good and silver; immunity to channel energy, cold; resistance to acid 30, electricity 30, sonic 30; and fast healing 10, in addition to all of the defensive abilities granted by the undead type. Unlike a normal fast healing, this fast healing can regrow lost portions of the vampire body and it can reattach severed limbs or body parts as for regeneration. Antediluvian vampire also gain the dread rejuvenation and unholy ego abilities.Immune Channel Energy (Ex)An antediluvian vampire takes no damage from the channel energy ability, and is not affected by effects that mimic channel energy or are based on the channel energy ability (such as turn undead and command undead) unless it want to be affected.Dread Rejuvenation (Ex)Antediluvian vampires are notoriously hard to destroy. If reduced to 0 hit points in combat, an antediluvian vampire assumes gaseous form (see below) and attempts to escape. It must reach its coffin home within 3 days or be utterly destroyed. (It can normally travel up to 9 miles in 1 hour.) Additional damage dealt to a vampire forced into gaseous form has no effect. Once at rest, the vampire is helpless. It regains 1 hit point after 1 hour, and then is no longer helpless and resumes healing at the rate of 10 hit points per round.Even if an antediluvian vampire is killed, if its remains are bathed in the blood of a creature with the evil or good subtype, it returns to unlife within 1d4 minutes.The method to permanently destroy an antediluvian vampire is unique to each vampire, and should be created specifically for each different antediluvian vampire by the GM (but they can also be permanently destroyed if they make a mistake in evaluating and try to generate a too powerful dread vampire, see create spawn).Unholy Ego (Su)An antediluvian vampire gains a bonus equal to its Charisma bonus (if any) on all saving throws and as a deflection bonus to AC. This does not stack with similar abilities that add the Charisma as untyped bonus to saving throws like the unholy resilience of the antipaladin or the towering ego of the mesmerist.Weaknesses: Unlike their lesser brethren, garlic, mirrors, holy symbols, invitation, or running water do not affect antediluvian vampires.Reducing an antediluvian vampire’s hit points to 0 or fewer incapacitates it, but doesn’t always destroy it due its gaseous form ability. However, certain attacks can slay antediluvian vampires, at least temporarily (see dread rejuvenation above). An antediluvian vampire exposed to direct sunlight is staggered and takes 10 hit point of damage at the start of each round until it can get out of the light. While exposed to direct sunlight, the antediluvian vampire does not gain the benefits of fast healing.Driving a blessed wooden stake through a helpless antediluvian vampire’s heart instantly slays it (this is a full-round action); any other wooden stake has no effect on the antediluvian vampire except for the weapon’s normal damage. If the blessed stake is removed from the antediluvian vampire, the antediluvian vampire comes back to life, unless the vampire’s head is severed, its body and head anointed with holy water, its body sanctified with a gentle repose spell, and its corpse buried in land under the effects of a hallow spell.Speed: If the base creature has both a climb speed and a land speed, the lower of the two increases to match the higher. If it lacks one of those speeds, the antediluvian vampire gains the missing mode of movement at a speed equal to the other. If the base creature lacks both modes of movement, the antediluvian vampire gains both at a speed equal to one-half the base creature’s highest speed.The antediluvian vampire also gains a fly speed equal to one-half the base creature’s highest speed if it cannot already fly. Its maneuverability class becomes perfect. Flight gained by application of this template is supernatural in nature.Attacks: The antediluvian vampire gains two claw attacks and a bite if the base creature didn’t have any (1d8 points of damage for a Small vampire, 1d10 points of damage for a Medium one). The claws also gains bleed (1d6).Special Attacks: The antediluvian vampire gains energy drain (2 levels, see negative energy focus). Saves DCs are Charisma-based unless otherwise specified.Blood Drain (Ex)An antediluvian vampire can suck blood from a grappled opponent; if the antediluvian vampire establishes or maintains a pin, it drains blood, dealing 1d8 points of Constitution damage. The antediluvian vampire heals 10 hit points or gains 10 temporary hit points for 24 hours hour (up to a maximum number of temporary hit points equal to its full normal hit points) each round it drains blood.Blood Omen (Su)A number of times per day equal to its Charisma modifier, but no more than once per minute, as a standard action that provoke attack of opportunity, an antediluvian vampire can drain blood from all creatures within 30 feet. Each creature must succeed at a Fortitude saving throw or be affected by the antediluvian vampire’s blood drain ability. The antediluvian vampire gains the normal benefits of all blood drained in this manner.Children of the Eclipse (Su)An antediluvian vampire can command the lesser creatures and undead of the world. Once per hour, an antediluvian vampire can call forth 1d6+1 rat swarms, 1d4+1 bat swarms, or 2d6 wolves as a standard action (if the base creature is not terrestrial, this power might summon other creatures of similar power). Once per day, the antediluvian vampire can use children of the eclipse to call forth 3d8 ghouls, 1d6 mohrgs, 2d6 shadows, or 1d6 wraiths. Summoned creatures arrive in 2d6 rounds and serve the antediluvian vampire for up to 1 hour.Create Spawn (Su)Antediluvian vampires can create spawn only if their victims are kept in coffin homes until they rise. A coffin home can be any container capable of accommodating the corpse. The container is often a coffin because ignorant family members of an antediluvian vampire’s victims often bury their lost loved ones in the traditional manner. When an antediluvian vampire wants to make a specific creature its spawn, however, it often places the body in a specifically designed receptacle, such as an iron box. If an antediluvian vampire’s or vampire’s coffin home is ever destroyed, the vampire cannot reform and is destroyed when it reaches 0 hit points.Under these conditions, a creature slain by an antediluvian vampire’s blood drain or energy drain attack rises as a standard vampire (moroi) or vampire spawn (moroi if the creature has 5 or more HD, vampire spawn if less) 24 hours after death. If the antediluvian vampire want to generate more powerful spawns, it can take a number of permanent negative levels equal to the HD of the creature slay at the time of its death for returning it as a dread vampire instead of a normal vampire (this negative levels ignore any immunity or protection and cannot be removed in any way short of wish or miracle but go away at the rate of 1 per day). If the antediluvian vampire is slay by this negative levels (the creature has a number of HD equal or higher than the antediluvian vampire), the effect backfire as all the energy is drained by the antediluvian vampire, permanently destroying it (as for its unique method capable of overcome dread rejuvenation) and returning the slay creature as an antediluvian vampire instead of a dread vampire (without the need to be kept in a coffin home). The new antediluvian vampire automatically gains the control of all the spawn of the previous antediluvian vampire (as if it had created them).A vampire, vampire spawn, or dread vampire created in this manner is under the command of its creator (as dominate monster) and remains so until either it or the creator is destroyed. A dread vampire that become an antediluvian vampire is automatically free. At any given time, an antediluvian vampire may have enslaved vampires, vampire spawns, or dread vampires totaling no more than ten times its own Hit Dice; spawn created that exceed this limit rise as free-willed vampires, vampire spawns, or dread vampires. A vampire or dread vampire enslaved to its creator may create and enslave spawn of its own; thus, a master antediluvian vampire can indirectly control a large number of lesser vampires. An antediluvian vampire may voluntarily free an enslaved vampire or dread vampire in order to enslave a new one, but once freed, the former spawn cannot be enslaved again.Dominate (Su)An antediluvian vampire can crush an opponent’s will as a standard action. Anyone the antediluvian vampire targets must succeed on a Will or fall instantly under its influence as though by a dominate monster spell (caster level equals antediluvian vampire’s character level). The ability has a range of 60 feet and is a mind-affecting effect.Eclipse (Su)An antediluvian vampire can once per day blot out the power of the sun in a 1-mile radius as a move action by expending a use if Mythic Power. In this area, for 1 hour, the light level is lowered by two steps. Bright light becomes dim light and normal light becomes darkness. Areas of dim light and darkness become supernaturally dark. Eclipse automatically dispel any light spell of spell level lower than 1/3 the antediluvian vampire HD.Mist Shapes (Su)An antediluvian vampire can summon and sculpt mist into realistic shapes as the major image spell (CL equal to the antediluvian vampire’s total Hit Dice). A shape created in this way lasts for as long as the antediluvian vampire can see and concentrate upon it. In areas of particularly dense mist, this ability functions as mirage arcana instead of major image (CL equal to the antediluvian vampire’s total Hit Dice).Negative Energy Focus (Su)An antediluvian vampire’s energy drain ability triggers once per successful melee attack with melee weapons or natural attacks, up to a maximum of once per round for every 4 HD the vampire has (minimum of 1, to a maximum of 10 at 40 HD).Telekinesis (Su)As a standard action, an antediluvian vampire can use telekinesis (CL equal to the antediluvian vampire’s total Hit Dice) without the maximum weight limit of 375 pounds at 15th level.Spell-like Abilities:Constant—true seeing, unseen servant;3/day—darkness, dispel magic, fog cloud, haste;1/day—astral projection, create greater undead, deeper darkness, destruction, dimension door, greater dispel magic, energy drain, overwhelming presence.Caster level equals antediluvian vampire’s total Hit Dice. All DCs are Charisma-based.Special Qualities: The antediluvian vampire retains all the base creature’s special qualities and gains those described here.Change Shape (Su)As a standard action, an antediluvian vampire can assume the shape of any kind of creature. This ability otherwise functions as shapechange, except that the antediluvian vampire does not adjust its ability scores and can remain in this form until it assumes another or until the next sunrise.Gaseous Form (Su)As a standard action, an antediluvian vampire can assume gaseous form at will (caster level equal to the antediluvian vampire’s total Hit Dice), but can remain gaseous indefinitely and has a fly speed of 40 feet with perfect maneuverability.Hibernation (Ex)An antediluvian vampire can enter a state of voluntary hibernation. While in hibernation, it can take no actions, is helpless, and its fast healing ability ceases to function. The antediluvian vampire also appears dead to most observers, though a successful Heal check DC 10 + antediluvian vampire HD + its Charisma modifier reveal its undead nature. Magical abilities, such as the deathwatch or detect undead spells, or magical senses like lifesense or spiritsense, automatically reveal the ruse. If it is jostled or damaged while hibernating, an antediluvian vampire can attempt a DC 35 Will save. If it succeeds, it awakens in 2d4 rounds. Otherwise, it takes 1d4 days to awaken from hibernation. An antediluvian vampire can set the length of its hibernation when it first enters this state, so that it can awaken after a set amount of time has passed. When awakening at a set time in this manner, the antediluvian vampire needs only 1d3 rounds to rouse itself, with no Will saving throw necessary.Mastermind (Su)An antediluvian vampire can see, hear, and speak through the body of a creature it has dominated or one of its spawn and can communicate telepathically with it. The antediluvian vampire can use this ability indefinitely on one creature at a time, as long as it and the creature under its control or spawn remain on the same plane. An antediluvian vampire using this ability can’t move, but is still aware of its surroundings and can end this ability as a free action.Mythic (Ex)An antediluvian vampire has Mythic Power (10/day, Surge +1d12) and counts as a 10th-rank Mythic creature. It does not gains any other mythic ability, feat, or traits. An antediluvian vampire must select one of the following options.<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Vampire Caster: An antediluvian vampire can use any of its spells and spell-like abilities as the Mythic versions of those spells (if a Mythic version of that spell exists), expending Mythic Power as normal. It can also expend Mythic Power to use the augmented versions of these spells. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Vampire Fighter: When an antediluvian vampire expends mythic power to add a Surge die to an attack roll, it also adds a Surge die to that attack’s damage roll. This is not an action and does not require it to expend any additional uses of Mythic Power to use this ability. </li> </ul>See Through Blood (Su)An antediluvian vampire, when use its blood drain attack, can see into a being’s past and learn his history. The target must make a Will save (DC 10 + ½ antediluvian vampire HD + its Charisma modifier) or have his entire history become known to the antediluvian vampire. The antediluvian vampire can attempt to discern an individual’s history any number of times, but each time the target successfully save against this ability, he gains, for a week, a cumulative +4 circumstance bonus on his next save against this ability. Each successful save reset the week duration. This is a mind-affecting affect but immunity against it instead give only a +8 racial bonus on the save.Shadowless (Ex)An antediluvian vampire casts no shadows and shows no reflection in a mirror.Swarm Shape (Su)As a standard action, an antediluvian vampire can change into a bat swarm, centipede swarm, rat swarm, or spider swarm. The antediluvian vampire gains the swarm attack and extraordinary special attacks of the swarm it has transformed into. While in swarm form, an antediluvian vampire can’t use its natural weapons or any of its special attacks. It retains all its other abilities, counts as an undead creature, and can use any of the swarm’s abilities and defenses. It can remain in swarm form until it assumes another form or until the next sunrise. This is a polymorph effect.Tenuous Existence (Su)An antediluvian vampire can pass through solid objects (like walls, doors, ceilings, and floors) using its fly speed as if they weren't there. If it end its inside a solid object, it takes 6d6 points of damage which ignore damage reduction and is shunted in the nearest open space.Uncanny Climber (Su)An antediluvian vampire can climb with its hands (or upper limbs) free and even walk about on the ceiling as if affected by a spider climb spell. In addition, it can use the accelerated climb action to cover any distance up to four times its climb speed, with each check allowing it to climb a distance equal to its climb speed. Climbing a distance equal to or less than its climb speed is a move-equivalent action.Vitae (Var.)An antediluvian vampire has a blood pool that can store a number of points at the same time up to ½ its HD + its Charisma modifier. An antediluvian vampire can only gains blood points by using blood drain or any ability that works as it (like blood omen, or the blood for the blood god or sanguine storm vitae). Every time that it use such ability successfully, it gains one point for each creature affected (usually one with normal blood drain, or multiple with blood omen or the blood for the blood god; this cannot increase its current blood points above its maximum). An antediluvian vampire can spend one or more points for activate the following abilities, called vitae. An antediluvian vampire gains a single vitae at 7 HD and one more every 7 HD thereafter. An antediluvian vampire can sacrifice feats for gain vitae: for every 6 feats sacrificed it gains a new one. If a vitae specify a new or additional effect by spending more blood points, the effect are cumulative (or substitutes) with the minor versions and the number of additional uses required for the augmented version includes the base blood points necessary to activate the minor versions.<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Ancient Blood Sorcery (Sp): An antediluvian vampire can spend blood points for cast a spell from its spell list as a spell-like ability with caster level equal to its caster level for such spellcasting class. If the antediluvian vampire has multiple spellcasting class, it can cast spell-like abilities from all of them, but at different caster level (based on its caster level for the actual class). If the spell is present in multiple spell lists available, the antediluvian vampire chose which level replicate based on the points spend (eg. a vampire multiclass druid/wizard can cast fire trap as a 2nd level spell from the druid by spending 2 blood points or as a 4th level spell from the wizard by spending 4 blood points once it reach 8 HD).The number of blood points are equal to the spell level. The antediluvian vampire cannot use this vitae for cast a spell with a level higher than ½ its HD. Unlike a normal spell-like ability, the antediluvian vampire must provide any focus or material component with a cost higher than 1 gp. If the antediluvian vampire has the spellstrike feature, it may combine this feature with it if the spell-like ability meets the prerequisites (generally range touch and present in the magus spell list). Prerequisite: The antediluvian vampire must be able to cast spells (must have the spellcasting class feature) for select this vitae.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Antediluvian Resistance (Ex): An antediluvian vampire can spend one blood point as a swift action to gain resistance to fire and positive energy 30 for 24 hours.

If it spends 1 blood point as a swift action it gains light fortification (25%) and DR 5/– until the start of its next turn. If it spends 3 blood points it gains instead fortification (50%) and DR 10/– for 1 minute.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Blood Cult: An antediluvian vampire can grant divine spells to those who follow its cause, allowing them to select itself as their deity for the purposes of determining their spells and domains. Select 3 domains and up to 3 subdomains. These domains must be alignment domains matching its alignment if possible, unless its alignment is true neutral. The antediluvian vampire grant access to these domains and subdomains plus the Blood subdomain as if it is a deity (if it does not have the War domain, select one of the 3 domains, its followers can modify that domain with the Blood subdomain). This does not require any specific action on the antediluvian vampire’s behalf. Creatures that gain spells from the antediluvian vampire receive spells per day of levels up to 7; they don’t lose spell slots of a higher level, but cannot prepare true spells of 8 or higher level in it, only spells of a lower level (including ones with metamagic apply to them). As long at least 1 creature worship it, the antediluvian vampire lose its sunlight weakness and regain 1d4 blood points each hour.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Blood for the Blood God (Su): At the end of each turn, every opponent within 25 ft.+5 ft./2 HD of the antediluvian vampire that is currently suffering bleed damage is automatically subject to the vampire blood drain ability (Fortitude DC 10 + ½ HD + its Charisma modifier negate) as their blood streams out of their wounds and into the ancient vampire’s gaping maw. The vampire can chose to exclude creatures from this effect. This effect permanently reduce its maximum blood pool by 3.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Blood Rites of the Ancients (Su): The antediluvian vampire can perform an occult ritual of one minute once per day that allows him to quickly recover blood points for its pool.

The save must be repeated each round they are in the area. This negative energy cannot heal undead or living creature with negative energy affinity.

All creatures with an Intelligence score of 3 or higher that see, hear, or perceive the antediluvian vampire in any way must make a Will saving throw (DC 10 + ½ HD + its Charisma modifier) to recognize the antediluvian vampire for what it truly it is rather than whichever acceptable and inoffensive alternative their mind might have made up in its stead. While affected, they aren't sure of who or what they are seeing or even talking to. When they no longer perceive the antediluvian vampire, they cannot recall what it looked like. Those who aren't hostile to the antediluvian vampire generally do not notice it unless it interacts with them or their belongings. The antediluvian vampire may also move through their space freely as they move aside to let it pass without realizing it, even if they can't see it. Creatures in this range with CR (or level for creatures without CR) minor than ½ the antediluvian vampire's HD automatically fail this save. Any action from the antediluvian vampire that would normally disrupt an invisibility spell also break this effect.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Commander of the Undead Legion (Sp): An antediluvian vampire can spend 3 blood points for cast summon undead I as a spell-like ability with caster level equal to its HD. At 3 HD and every two HD thereafter this upgrades to a summon undead spell of one level higher.

An antediluvian vampire with this vitae is based on positive energy instead of negative energy: it interact with positive and negative energy as a living creature. A cure spell or channel positive energy (heal living) heal the antediluvian vampire while inflict and channel negative energy (damage living) damage it. A channel positive energy (damage undead) or channel negative energy (heal undead) has no effect on the antediluvian vampire. If it has Antediluvian Resistance, the vitae give resistance to negative energy instead of positive. Any dhampir generated by a vampire with this vitae has automatically the Dayborn alternative racial trait.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Gift of Suffering (Su): An antediluvian vampire can spend 2 blood points as a standard action to transfer all of his current damage to a progeny or another vampire that descend from itself in some way that is within 25 ft.+5 ft./2 HD of itself.

This negative energy cannot heal undead or living creature with negative energy affinity. If it spends 6 blood points the range increase to 40 ft. If it spends 10 blood points the range increase to 60 ft. and all creatures slay by it return to life as a ghoul 24 hours after death (or ghast if the victim has 4 or more HD).
