==Thinblood Vampire==

[[Summary::A degenerate kin of the much more powerful vampire, a thinblood vampire is much weaker and blur the line between dead and living.]] These rare undead are not born, rather they are the result of botched attempts at creating vampires that fail to even create a vampire spawn. It can be the result of weak blood in the vampire creator, or interference and weakening of the curse’s hold on the corpse during transformation. In any case, these vampires are weak and barely undead.

This race is balanced for Pathfinder and intended to allow a player to have most of the vampire experience for LA 0.

|typefluff=Most thinblood vampire are humans, due to circumstance. That said non-human thinblood vampire are possible, just change the human subtype for the matching subtype.

|specialtext1=A thinblood vampire is unusually tough and vigorous because of their undead nature, gaining +1 hit point per level, [[Rapid Healing (3.5e Creature Ability)|Rapid Healing]] 1 and immunity to mundane diseases. Additionally a thinblood vampire does not risk dying from negative levels, they do take any hit point penalty and do not die when their negative level reaches their hit dice. They still take all other penalties of negative level and have a maximum amount of negative level equal to their hit dice. A thinblood vampire automatically loses a negative level after 8 hours passed and never risks permanent level loss. Finally a thinblood vampire is healed by  negative energy and damaged by positive energy.
|special1='''Abnormal Vigor'''
|specialtype1=Ex

|specialtext2=When grappling a thinblood vampire can make an opposed grapple check against a creature in the grapple as a standard action. If she succeeds she bites and drains some of the creature's blood, dealing 1 point of [[Constitution]] damage. This restores the thinblood vampire 5 hit points per point of [[Constitution]] damage and counts as eating a full meal. A thinblood vampire may also drain blood from helpless or willing creatures this way without requiring a grapple check. When a thinblood vampire reaches BAB +6 she may deal 1d4 points of [[Constitution]] damage with a successful use of blood drain instead, this increases to 1d6 at BAB +11 and 2d4 at BAB +17.
|special2='''Blood Drain'''
|specialtype2=Ex

|specialtext3=A thinblood vampire uses blood to sustain themselves and retain their sanity. A thinblood vampire may use her blood drain ability to substitute or supplement her food intake. However she requires blood to stay healthy, if she does not consume the blood of intelligent humanoid for 24 hours she loses her rapid healing from Abnormal Vigor and take a -2 penalty to her [[Constitution]]. The process is mentally draining, and many thinblood vampire are driven to a frenzy for blood and often overdrink. This aspect is not represented mechanically. Finally a thinblood vampire can drink blood that was preserved, however doing so does not heal any hit points, only blood from a flesh catch do. 
|special3='''Sanguine Dependence'''
|specialtype3=Ex

|specialtext4=When exposed to direct sunlight, a thinblood vampire become [[SRD:Staggered|Staggered]]. Luckily for the, exposure is not lethal beyond being blisteringly painful. An umbrella or concealing cloak protects them as long as they move at half speed and are not fighting. Some thinblood vampire possess a dire weakness to sunlight, like their fullblooded kins, thus a thinblood vampire may take the [[Greater Sunlight Vulnerability (3.5e Flaw)|Greater Sunlight vulnerability]] flaw.
|special4='''Sunlight Vulnerability'''
|specialtype4=Ex

|specialtext5=A thinblood vampire counts as an undead for the purpose of effect and meeting prerequisite, such as being damaged by [[SRD:Holy Water|holy water]]. They do not gain any of the undead traits and were never considered to have been created (and thus cannot benefit from the [[SRD:Desecrate|''desecrate'']] spell). A thinblood vampire cannot be turned or rebuked, instead become [[SRD:Shaken|shaken]] for the 1 round if exposed to such attempts.
