Lack of Air: A vampire in a weakened atmosphere (such as high altitude) begins to become sluggish.  In a complete vacuum, such as an airlock, it lapses into a deep sleep as if it were in its sanctuary, whether it is or not.Sanctuary: If reduced to 0 hit points, the vampire automatically stabilizes, takes gaseous form, and attempts to escape.  It must reach its sanctuary within 2 hours or be killed.  Once at rest in its sanctuary, it rises to 1 hit point after 1 hour, after which time it heals at the rate of 5 hit points per hour.Sunlight: The merest sliver of sunlight deals 2d6 damage to a vampire.  A vampire exposed to direct sunlight for 1 full round must succeed on a Fortitude save (DC 20) or be killed.</blockquote>
