Temporary hit points last for up to one hour.            Special Qualities: A vampyr retains all the special qualities of the base creature and also gains those described below.            Blood Dependency (Ex): If a vampyr does not use its blood drain special attack against at least one living creature each day, it must make a DC 10 Fortitude save or become fatigued.  Each day after the first that the vampyr does not drink blood directly from a living creature, the DC increases by 1 until it fails the save and becomes fatigued.  After that, , it must make a DC 15 Fortitude save each week (with the DC increasing by 1 each week thereafter) That it does not use its blood drain ability or become exhausted.  Using its blood drain ability eliminates a vampyr’s fatigue immediately, or reduces exhaustion to fatigue.            Dammage Reduction (Su): A vampyr has damage reduction 10/silver.            Fast Healing (Ex): A vampyr heals 2 points of damage each round so long as it has at least 1 hit point but less than half its full normal hit points.  As long as the vampyr has more than half its full normal hit points, its fast healing does not function (but other forms of healing still function normally).            Resistances (Ex): A vampyr has resistance to cold 10 and electricity 10.            Abilities: Increase from the base creature as follows: Str +4, Dex +2, Cha +2.            Skills: Vampyrs have a +4 racial bonus on Bluff, Hide, Listen, Move Silently, and Spot checks.  Otherwise, same as base creature.            Feats: A vampyr gains Alertness and Improved Initiative, if the base creature doesn’t already have the feats.            CR: +2            LA: +3</blockquote>
