This might for some appear to be home brewed but to me it makes sense. The deathless vampire that is.
I came up with some of the weaknesses myself like the weakness to darkess of shar and the running sewage. You can use it if you wish
Feel free to use this.
Deathless Vampire
(Some could call them Sharbane Vampires do to their weakness to darkness and unholiness)
Any good or Neutral alignment
A polar opposite to a undead vampire
Lacking the sociopathic serial killer nature of a vampire but still very much a predator. Having a hatred and hunger for all things undead and evil aligned.
Energy charge, this ability drains energy from undead and when used on living it grants energy.
Gaseous form.
Transform into a fruit bat or a Normal Wolf
Can live on the blood of animals or evil doers and especially undead with blood within. Does not need to drain energy from living beings, but hungers for the energy from unliving like an undead vampire hungers for life energy, a deathless vampire hungers for the unliving.
All deathless resistances and traits
Deathless vampires
Are more powerful when on consecrated ground and hallowed ground.
Deathless vampires are bound to their coffins, they keep the dirt of the homeland that has been consecrated in their coffins.
When a deathless vampire is slain it reverts to gaseous form and has two hours to return to its coffin or its destroyed for good.
A deathless vampire must keep its coffin on hollowed or consecrated grounds.
Weakness to Darkness, a deathless vampire can't go out when the darkness of the moon is greater then the light it provides. Nor can it go out when their is a solar eclipse or new moon.
A deathless vampire does not cast a shadow, nor does it cast a reflection.
A deathless vampire is repelled by a symbol of an unholy god, this prevents the creature from attacking. Also a Mirror blessed by evil repels and burns a deathless vampire.
A deathless vampire can't cross running sewage water. A Deathless vampire submerged in running sewage, would be damaged the same as if it was running water. A deathless vampire can be cared over running sewage water while being carried over it by a boat which is unlikly or over a bridge while resting inside its coffin.
A deathless vampire can only be slain by cutting off its head, staking it and pouring unholy water down its mouth.
A deathless vampire can't enter unhallowed or desecrated ground nor enter a temple of an unholy god. Without being weakened or damaged. The same way a undead vampire can't enter the temple of a holy god.
Deathless vampires are doubly weak to negative energy, like a living person. They are also weak to corruption and darkness of any type. Necrotic magic and corrupt magic does double damage to a deathless vampire.
A deathless vampire can't enter a private crypt or a private residence without being invited.
Deathless liches
Baelnorn
They could be animated with either positive or negative energy.
Baelnorn do not decay like liches do, the worst of their deterioration would be their skin shriveling up and becoming transparent.
They lack the unholy fear aura that liches typically have.
Enlightened Baelnorn, Most likly to be animated by positive energy.
They would be strengthened and healed by positive energy and harmed by negative energy.
They would have a aura of holiness,
Typical non evil lich abilties though they could raise the dead if they needed to. They are protecters, guardians teachers and champions for their clans or their people or good and neutral aligned people in general. Their eyes glow white or gold in color. Or a mix of both.
Mainly lawful good elves that sacrifice their abilty to go onto the next life in order to help their people or defend them.
Deathless ghosts
Ghosts that are animated by positive energy and not negative energy
Some are sacred watchers and others are those blessed by good aligned deities to watch over the living.
