| colspan="6" |''' | | colspan="6" |'''Forbiddance'''. The Vampire Ancient must observe certain restrictions: | ||
* The Vampire Ancient cannot enter a private residence without a written or verbal invitation. | |||
* If the Vampire Ancient starts its turn in direct sunlight, it takes 16 (3d10) radiant [[damage]]. | |||
* If the Vampire Ancient starts its turn in running water, it takes 5 (1d10) radiant damage. | |||
* If the Vampire Ancient takes radiant damage, it loses its Regen ability for 30 seconds. | |||
* If the Vampire Ancient consumes garlic or uses Blood Drain on a creature that ate garlic within the last 8 hours, it takes 5 (1d10) toxic damage and is Sickened for 30 seconds. Crimson Thirst. Vampire Ancients do not need to eat or drink, but for every 1 week they do not use Blood Drain, they lose 20 current and maximum HP. After using Blood Drain at least once per day for a week, their current and maximum HP reset to normal. | |||
'''Shadowy.''' If the Vampire Ancient moves and does not enter bright light during its movement, it cannot be attacked reactively. | |||
'''Vampiric Curse.''' Any living humanoid who takes damage from Blood Drain three times within 24 hours becomes infected with [[Vampirism]]. | |||
'''Dark Ritualist.''' Using CHA, the Vampire Ancient can innately cast the following occult rituals. [[Animate Corpses]], [[Bedeviling Countenance]], [[Blight]], [[Child of Darkness]], [[Curse of Withering]], [[Dreamwalker]], [[Gaze of a Thousand Miles]], [[Inscription of Sharpening]], [[Refraction of a Thousand Souls]], [[Scry]], [[Shadow Armor]], [[Summon Fiend]]. | |||
'''Unholy [[Resurrection]]'''. If the Vampire Ancient dies at nighttime, it turns into a fine mist and floats back to its coffin at a rate of 60 ft on each of its turns. If it does not reach its coffin by dawn, then it dies permanently. If it reaches its coffin before dawn, then it solidifies back into its vampiric form but is still dead. It reawakens at full health at dusk that evening. A Vampire Ancient that dies during the daytime turns into mist in this way at dusk the following evening, where it then tries to return to its coffin. When a Vampire Ancient is dead and in solid form, it can be staked through the heart and its head cut off and burned to permanently kill it. | |||
