Blood Drain (Ex): The vampire lord can suck blood from a living victim with her fangs by making a successful
grapple check. If she pins the foe, she drains blood, inflicting 1d4+2 points of Constitution drain each round the pin is
maintained.

Domination (Su): The vampire lord can crush an opponent's will just by looking into his or her eyes or speaking. This
ability is similar to a gaze attack, except that it does not require line of sight to the target, the vampire lord must take a
standard action, the range is 30 feet, and those merely looking at her are not affected. Anyone she targets who can
hear her voice when she speaks at a normal volume level must succeed at a Will save (DC 17) or fall instantly under
her influence as though by a dominate person spell (caster level 12th).

Energy Drain (Su): A living creature hit by a vampire lord's slam attack takes three negative levels, or six on a critical
hit. For each negative level inflicted on an opponent, the vampire lord heals 5 points of damage (or 10 on a critical
hit), gaining any excess as temporary hit points. After 24 hours have passed, the afflicted opponent must attempt a
Fortitude save (DC 17) for each negative level. If successful, the negative level goes away with no harm to the
creature; otherwise the creature's level is also reduced by one.

Alternate Form (Su): A vampire lord can assume the form of any animal, as the druid ability wild shape used by a
12th-level druid. The vampire lord can use this power at will as a move-equivalent action. The vampire lord can
change from one animal shape to another without having to revert to its humanoid form.

Children of the Night (Su): A vampire lord commands the lesser creatures of the world and once per day can call
forth a pack of 4d8 dire rats, a swarm of 10d10 bats, or a pack of 3d6 wolves as a standard action. These creatures
arrive in 2d6 rounds and serve the vampire lord until released. Further, the vampire lord can sense through the
senses of any such commanded creatures, and communicate empathically with them, to a range of 10 miles.

Control Weather (Sp): The vampire lord can cast either control weather or fog cloud (caster level 12th) at will.

Create Spawn (Su): A humanoid or monstrous humanoid slain by a vampire lord's energy drain or blood drain attack
rises as a vampire 1d4 days after burial. In either case, the new vampire is enslaved to the vampire lord until its
master's death, and the willpower of the vampire lord is too strong to allow the new vampire to break free of its
enslavement.
Fast Healing (Ex): The vampire lord heals 8 points of damage each round so long as she has at least 1 hit point. If
reduced to 0 hit points or below, she automatically assumes gaseous form and attempts to escape. A vampire lord
must reach one of her designated places of rest within 24 hours or be utterly destroyed. (A vampire lord can have
many places of rest prepared, since the only requirement is some soil from her homeland). She can travel up to 9
miles in 2 hours. Once at rest in such a place, she rises to 1 hit point after 1 hour, then resumes healing at the rate of
8 hit points per round.

Gaseous Form (Su): As a standard action, a vampire lord can assume gaseous form at will, as the spell (caster level
5th), except that she can remain gaseous indefinitely and has a fly speed of 20 feet with perfect maneuverability.

Spider Climb (Ex): A vampire lord can climb sheer surfaces as though with a spider climb spell.

Telekinesis (Su): The vampire lord can use telekinesis (caster level 12th) at will.

Telepathy (Su): The vampire lord can communicate telepathically with any living creature within 100 feet that has a
language, and with any vampire under her direct control to a range of 1 mile.

Turn Resistance (Ex): The vampire lord is less easily affected by clerics or paladins than most undead. When
resolving a turn, rebuke, command, or bolster attempt, the vampire lord is treated as an 18-HD creature.

Undead Traits: The vampire lord is immune to poison, sleep, paralysis, stunning, disease, death, effects,
necromantic effects, mind-influencing effects, and any effect requiring a Fortitude save unless it also works on
objects. She is not subject to critical hits, subdual damage, ability damage, ability drain, or energy drain. Negative
energy heals her, and she is not at risk of death from massive damage but is destroyed at 0 hit points or less. A
vampire lord has darkvision (60-foot range). She cannot be raised, and resurrection works only if she is willing.
