Now, the issue is that he's a Winter Wolf and that's a whole slew of problems waiting to happen so I came up with a good ol' fantasy reason why he's now a PC race: the always useful "I've been cursed" shtick. The thing is I want to simulate some of his winter wolfishness outside of RP with class abilities/powers and I'm not sure what kind of options there are to do that effectively within the rules/outside of homebrewing. Any suggestions would be awesome though I'd like to avoid primary spellcasting classes and I'm open to options that can only be used a limited amount of time. In fact, I'd prefer that.</p>So I'm interested in playing an NPC I created for my party when I was GMing as a PC for an upcoming campaign.

<p>The mythic vampire should only be sickened in direct sunlight, not nauseated.
<br />
Also, unlike a standard vampire, a mythic vampire should not be utterly destroyed on the second round of exposure to direct sunlight (it will take 10 points of damage each round, lose its fast healing, and be sickened, but can otherwise take actions and survive as long as it still has hit points).

This will be corrected in the next printing of Mythic Adventures.

According to this page you've pretty much hit the nail on the head. Essentially, "Movie makers needed a dramatic way to kill the vamp at the end and mere exposure to sunlight became the conventional way to do it."

<p>There's a difference between the advantage that, say, 25 minutes of prep time gives you and the advantage that a minute does. Also, it begs the question does it circumvent the restriction on the 8 hours between retraining a tactical feat slot? If it doesn't, what is the point of the main ability if the fighter can just swap out as a standard action anyways?</p>
<p>I played around with a similar mechanic with my first idea but feel that, ultimately, it just gives the character way too much freedom unless there's some sort of limit on what feats can be chosen and that starts to add extra paperwork. It already does in the sense that it gives the fighter the same advantage that the wizard has, without a need to pay for it in any way: every splatbook that comes out and new Combat feat that's released, there are more free options.</p>
<p>I'm wondering if a limit should be placed on the tactical feats ability, and how to implement it without going too meta.</p>Trogdar wrote:ThatEvilGuy wrote: rainzax wrote:maybe add?:

<p>I did originally envision him as being evil. It's hard to picture a Viking sea reaver type that looks back at his ancestor's career as a Big Bad Pirate of the Shackles and goes "I WANT THAT!" as being anything but.</p>
<p>He wants the loot, the fame, the fortune and the beaches.</p>

I'm mulling over both the eidolon's name and how he came to be part of Sartana's life; I'm thinking it's based on an amalgamation of boogeymen of the sea from childhood stories (like Davey Jones, Blackbeard and such) and the eidolon's definitely got a creepy, tribalistic-weird-sea-person-thing vibe going on for it/him.</p>

I'll be working on more of the specifics in the coming days.</p>
<p>As far as roles go he's more of a buffer, smooth talker and stay-in-the-back kind of guy and Mr. Trigg (eidolon) is a I-grab-boarding-pikes-and-shove-it-through-your-head sort of dude. Not overly min-maxed but it's a concept I like.</p>Here's the basics of Sartana and Mr. Trigg's backstory. I'll be working on more of the specifics in the coming days.
