Vampire Sunlight Protection

[thundershot]

Ya might want to check out the book Out for Blood, due out this month from Bastion....

You know, I thought of that about 10 minutes ago. I pre-ordered Out For Blood last week. The villain in question won't actually be affecting the characters anytime soon... So if there's anything specific I should do to the character, could you let me know? E-mail is fine... I just need to know if I need to free up a feat slot, take away a special ability, or will I have a whole new template to deal with?



Thanks
Chris

Chris, there's a free template on WotC's website that gives a vampire a load of powers and abilities, including immunity to sunlight - he still takes some hefty penalties from it to his powers, but it won't directly harm him. Check out the Vampire Lord template here: http://wizards.com/dnd/article.asp?x=dnd/mm/mm20021018a

I am thinking template, but I really do not recall for certain - editing that monster is now little more than a hazy memory in my mind's eye....

SPOILER for Heart of Nightfang Spire...

Spoiler

doesn't Gulthias have some kind of magic item that allows him to go out in daylight unaffected? or did my DM just make that up?

Sort of.

Spoiler

He has some goggles that give him a full round action, instead of just a partial, before he dissolves when exposed to sunlight.

Hm.... for an upcoming campaign, I need a Vampire to be able to go out into the sun without dissolving. The powers don't matter... only the ability to exist in the daylight. Any feats or magic items or anything that might help?



Thanks

How about a protection from elements amulet?

*grumble* someone did the Sunblock joke.....

I can't believe it took 14 replies before someone mentioned sunscreen.


Hong "trust me on the sunscreen" Ooi

Not enough just to mention it. It required a particular treatment...

Well, Dracula himself went about in daylight,

he did I reread the book and the book never states this.. And only recently did he appear in daylight in the movies. Could you give us a page and quote pretty please with blood pie pudding.

You could just make him immune to sunlight and up the CR a point or two.
