Okay, so the rules for energy drain are on the surface plainly simple. the save DC is 10 + 1/2 Racial HD + Charisma Modifier.
So, lets look at the succubus.
8 HD, Charisma modifier of +8.
So, 10 + 4 + 8 = 22. Her entry says 22. Awesome.
Now, look at the example vampire.
It's a level 8 undead (augmented human) sorcerer who also has a +8 Charisma modifier. But, vampires don't have racial HD they have class HD, so therefore 1/2 of 0 is 0. So, 10 + 0 + 8 = 22??
The vampire is also 22. But, shouldn't she be 18, since those 8 HD they have are from sorcerer, not racial?
Or, for races that don't have racial HD, do class levels count as racial HD? Then, by that respect if a succubus were to get 10 levels in a class, would her DC for energy drain go up to 27, since she's gained 10 more levels?
