[[Summary::A draculus is a form of vampire, some say they are a mutant breed while others claim they are a close cousin.]] Whatever the case is a draculus possess many abilities associated with vampires but possess very few of it crippling weaknesses (if you want to emulate the full vampire experience get the [[Unholy Bloodline (3.5e Flaw)|unholy bloodline]] flaw!). 

''Note: Despite the jokey name this is a serious rewrite of the [[SRD:Vampire|vampire]] template.''

=== Creating a Draculus ===

Draculus is acquired template that can be added to any [[SRD:Humanoid Type|humanoid]], [[SRD:Giant Type|giant]], [[SRD:Monstrous Humanoid Type|monstrous humanoid]] or [[SRD:Native Subtype|native]] [[SRD:Outsider Type|outsider]]

'''Ability Scores:''' A draculus receives a +4 bonus to her [[Strength]] and a +2 bonus to her [[Dexterity]], [[Intelligence]] and [[Charisma]]. As an [[SRD:Undead Type|undead]] creature, a draculus has no [[SRD:Constitution|Constitution]] score.

'''[[SRD:Hit Dice (Creature Statistic)|Hit Dice:]]''' Increase all current and future [[SRD:Hit Dice|Hit Dice]] to d12s.

'''Size and Type:''' The draculus’s type changes to [[SRD:Undead Type|undead]] ([[SRD:Augmented Subtype|augmented]] [[SRD:Humanoid Type|humanoid]] or [[SRD:Monstrous Humanoid Type|monstrous humanoid]]). Do not recalculate [[SRD:Base Attack Bonus|base attack bonus]], saves, or [[SRD:Skill Points|skill points]]. Size is unchanged.[[Type::Undead| ]]

'''Special Attacks''': The Draculus gain all of the following special attacks.

''{{Anchor|Alternate Form}} ([[Su]]):'' As a standard action, a draculus may take the form of a [[SRD:Bat|bat]], [[SRD:Wolf|wolf]], or [[SRD:Rat|rat]] at will.

''Hypnotizing Gaze/Voice {{Su}}:'' As a standard action a draculus can hypnotize someone with a gaze or the sound of her voice, as a standard action she may replicate the effect of [[Hypnotism, Greater (3.5e Spell)|''greater hypnotism'']]. A creature who save is immune to further attempts to hypnotize them for 1 hour.

As a full-round action you may target up to one creature per 2 HD you have.

A draculus may always decide to deal non-lethal damage with her vampire bite. Once per round she may also deliver automatic [[Bleedout (3.5e Condition)|bleedout]] if she bite a helpless, pinned or willing creature.

'''Special Qualities''': A draculus receive the following special qualities:

''Blood Drain {{Ex}}:'' When a draculus deliver a successful [[Bleedout (3.5e Condition)|bleedout]] with her bite she immediately heal an amount equal to the damage taken during the [[Bleedout (3.5e Condition)|bleedout]]. 

''Damage Reduction {{Ex}}:'' A draculus has 5 + half her hit dice in damage reduction/good or silver. A silver [[SRD:Holy|holy]] weapon deal 50% more damage to a Draculus.

''Immortality {{Ex}}:'' Unlike a normal undead, a draculus is not destroyed when she is brought below 0. Instead she fall inert, she does not die from mere hit point damage no matter how much is dealt. In order to kill an inert draculus she must either be staked through the heart with an oak stake, decapitated with a silver weapon or her body completely destroyed (such as being burned and then all remaining bone crushed). A [[SRD:Holy|holy]] weapon ignore this ability.

''Messy Death {{Ex}}:'' When a Draculus is properly slain they either turn into dust (as per [[SRD:Disintegrate|''disintegrate'']]) if exposed to sunlight. If slain through more conventional means it instead explode violently, your body is considered destroyed and leave a horrible mess behind, the space you occupied and your natural reach is now filled with gore (treated as instantaneous [[SRD:Grease|grease]]) and count as difficult terrain until cleaned up.

''[[Rapid Healing (3.5e Creature Ability)|Rapid Healing]] {{Ex}}:'' A draculus has [[Rapid Healing (3.5e Creature Ability)|Rapid Healing]] 10.

''[[SRD:Turn Resistance|Turn Resistance]] ([[SRD:Ex|Ex]]):'' A draculus has +4 [[SRD:Turn Resistance|Turn Resistance]].  

''Vulnerable to Sunlight {{Ex}}:'' A draculus is automatically [[SRD:Dazzled|dazzled]] in natural sunlight. After 5 round of staying in continuous natural sunlight she take 2 points of [[Strength]] [[SRD:Ability Burn|Burn]], she take the ability burn every 5 continuous round she stay in sunlight. A cloak, [[SRD:Darkness|''darkness'']] spell or other form of cover that does not completely block sunlight allow her to last 15 rounds before taking any [[Strength]] [[SRD:Ability Burn|Burn]]. If her [[Strength]] is reduced to 0 or lower this way she immediately dies.
