(no synergy skill bonuses thrown in)Alluring Gaze (Su): Gaze attack, range 5’.  Opponents must make a Will save (DC 15) or be dazed for 1d4 rounds.  Dazed creatures do not gain a bonus to Will saves versus spells like Charm Person or Enthrall for being combatants.Blood Drain (Ex): As a full round action a vampire can make a normal attack (+7 bonus), once per minute, to execute a Blood Drain.  This deals 1d6 Con damage (Fortitude DC 14 for half).  The vampire heals 5 hp for every point of Con drained this way.  Alternatively, he can gain another use of one or more spell-like abilities, at the rate of 1 spell level for every 5 hp drained.  The save for this ability is strength-based.Spell-like Abilities (Sp): 3/day-Charm Person, Enthrall, Sleep; 1/day-Eagle’s Splendor, Heroism, Suggestion.  Spell DC is (13+spell level).Sunlight Vulnerability (Ex): Vampires suffer a -8 Charisma penalty when entering true sunlight, even under armor or clothes.  A failed save vs. a Sunburst spell affects them this way for 1d4 rounds.  Within the radius of a Daylight spell or for 1d4 rounds after failing a save from Searing Light, they receive only a -4 penalty.  Charisma damage reduces a vampire's amount of hit points as a negative constitution score would a living creature, potentially causing the death of a vampire (see Unholy Strength).  Unholy Strength (Ex): Vampires gain a modifier to their hit points equal to their charisma bonus.Equipment: MW Rapier, often armor such as a MW Chain Shirt (add only +3 AC to vampire’s stat block, as the chain armor’s max Dex bonus is +4).Advancement: By character class.Favored Class: Enchanter(Note that up to level 4, arcane spellcasting classse would only count as 1/2 for purposes of CR.  So a Vampire Enchanter 2 would be CR 6 and a Enchanter 4 would be CR 7 while a Enchanter 6 would be CR 9.)If anyone's interested, there's also a Vampire Count prestige class that improves a base vampire's SA's, spell-likes, and resistances, along with advancing their arcane spellcaster progression.</blockquote>
