LA+0 vampire homebrew
Senses: The base creature gains darkvision 60 ft. or increases its existing darkvision by 30 ft.

Alignment: The base creature’s alignment moves one step towards evil. Its alignment on the law-chaos axis is unchanged. Like other undead, vampires detect as evil when subjected to detect evil and similar effects, regardless of their actual alignment.

Size and Type: Change the base creature’s type to undead, but do not gain the immunity to mind-affecting abilities property of the undead type. Recalculate racial hit dice. Do not recalculate hit dice based on class levels. Do not alter its base attack bonus, skill points, or class skills. Its size is unchanged.

Special Attacks: The base creature gains the following special attacks:
• Blood Drain (Su): A vampire can suck blood from a grappled opponent; if the vampire establishes or maintains a pin, it drains blood, dealing 1d4 points of Constitution damage. The vampire heals 5 hit points or gains 5 temporary hit points for 1 hour (up to a maximum number of temporary hit points equal to its full normal hit points) each round it drains blood.

Special Qualities: The base creature gains the following special qualities:
• Shadowless (Ex): A vampire casts no shadows and shows no reflection in a mirror; in a room with shadowy or better illumination, or with one or more mirrors, creatures gain a +5 circumstance bonus on their Knowledge (religion) checks to identify the vampire.
• Thirst (Ex): A vampire must feed to sustain themselves. For details, see the Paizo feeding and hunger rules.
• Vampiric Weakness (Ex): The vampire is vulnerable to sunlight; it becomes exhausted (ignoring immunity) when exposed to direct sunlight and suffers a -4 penalty to its level-based variables (such as those calculated based on caster level, initiator level, manifester level, or character level, among others) while so exposed. Additionally, choose two of the weaknesses listed below. The vampire gains the chosen weaknesses (once made, this choice may not be altered):

• Accursed Being (Ex): The vampire is vulnerable to holy symbols of good-aligned religions; if confronted by such a symbol (wielded by a member of its faith as a standard action or used as part of casting a divine spell) the vampire suffers a -2 penalty to attack rolls and saving throws for 3 rounds. In addition, the vampire cannot cast spells with the evil descriptor that target creatures bearing such symbols, nor include those creatures in the area of spells with the evil descriptor.
• Arithmomania (Ex): Some vampires develop an obsession with counting objects. The vampire suffers a -2 penalty to attack rolls, skill checks, and concentration checks while in the presence of a group of small objects (such as a bowl of rice or a pile of coins) that he has not yet counted. This penalty does not stack with itself, and persists as long as the vampire can see the container or pile, or until he spends a full-round action doing nothing but count the objects (the vampire may count up to two groups of objects with the same full-round action, such as a pile of coins and a bowl of rice). If there is more than one grouping of small objects nearby, the penalty lasts until the vampire has counted them all (spending at least one full-round action per grouping).
• Foot in the Grave (Ex): The vampire’s body has been weakened by the transition to undeath. The vampire gains a -2 penalty to its Strength and Dexterity whenever it is subjected to a critical hit or sneak attack. This penalty stacks with itself and lasts until the vampire can rest for eight hours.
• Purification (Ex): The vampire’s corruption is especially susceptible to fire; it suffers an additional 25% damage (rounded down) from fire damage. A vampire that is immune to fire may not select this weakness, and a vampire that selects this weakness may not gain fire immunity or fire resistance; attempts to do so simply fail.
• Spilled Blood (Ex): The vampire is not immune to bleed damage or damage to its Strength and Dexterity scores.
• Unclean Being (Ex): The cleansing touch of water is enough to hinder the vampire. While standing in water at least an inch deep, the vampire is slowed. When the vampire is affected by a spell of the water descriptor, they must succeed at an additional Reflex save (DC equal to the spell’s save DC) or suffer 1d6 damage per two caster levels of the spell’s source (items typically have their own caster level).
