Vampire Gaseous form

[Lichemaster]

The vampire the group fought against was running away in gaseous form they used a daylight spell to destroy it.
Would the 2 magic items it had on it drop to the ground or be destroyed also?

This is, presumably, a house rule. By the rules, a vampire would not even be affected by the Daylight spell.

Daylight
.......Despite its name, this spell is not the equivalent of daylight for the purposes of creatures that are damaged or destroyed by bright light.

As for the actual question you asked ( ), it's not clear. The gaseous form power is a supernatural one, and it has an indefinite duration.

Gaseous Form (Su): As a standard action, a vampire can assume gaseous form at will as the spell (caster level 5th), but it can remain gaseous indefinitely ....

The ability does not require concentration, nor would it be dispelled by Dispel Magic. Once the vampire is destroyed........hmmmm......I suppose we could follow the shapechanger example.....

Destroying a vampire (by a valid means, not by the daylight spell) does not destroy its items. Even a disintegrate or destruction spell on a PC would not affect that PC's items.

Not really a house rule but a rule done on the spot, he maybe still alive jsut so the group thinks he's dead.
Thanks for the answers.

Agreed.

The interesting part of the OP's question is "when does the gaseous form go away?"

Thought so. No prob., of course; we've all done stuff like that.
