[QUOTE="Anthtriel, post: 3872489, member: 13764"] Why exactly should undead and constructs have no con score and all kinds of abilities tied to them? What design advantages do you get from dropping an integral ability score, creating all kinds of border cases? What if you want to make an undead or a construct without these immunities? If you want to make the vampiric character playable but not overpowered, so that PCs want to become vampires for flavor reasons and not mechanical ones, but don't suffer from it mechanicly either, then you definitely don't want to give out tons of abilities and immunities to your newly vampirised character. Otherwise he is either overpowered or needs all kinds of weaknesses that turn him into a liability for the party. Also, the system either needs to be in a seperate book, or be as simple as possible. There is not much room for it apart from the rules that also apply to NPCs. [/QUOTE]
