'''Unholy Resurrection.''' If the Vampire dies at nighttime, it turns into a fine mist and floats back to its ancestral soil at a rate of 60 ft on each of its turns. If it does not reach its soil by dawn, then it dies permanently. If it reaches its soil before dawn, it solidifies back into its vampiric form but is still dead. It reawakens at full health at dusk that evening. A Vampire that dies during the daytime turns into mist in this way at dusk the following evening, where it tries to return to its ancestral soil. When a Vampire is dead and in solid form, it can be staked through the heart to permanently kill it. | '''Unholy Resurrection.'''
