If you want to play Angel, you have to bear the penalties. That means you can smite evil, but you are affected by sunlight and, I would argue, positive energy. That probably means you can heal other people, but not yourself. Which is, after all, a very LG thing.

I'm willing to accept that. I just wanted to make absolutely sure that this is, in fact, the rule.

I'm not disputing that. However, what if I wanted a Lawful Good Vampire, and am willing to let the violation of the RAW slide? Why is this? I want to play a Vampire Paladin.

Now, first off, this means no use of the Create Spawn ability. I can accept that. Secondly, the whole feeding thing. I can get around that by only feeding from evil people or willing people, and not killing them (there is nothing in the Bestiary saying a Vampire must continue feeding until the person dies). Thirdly, I realize I need to be very careful about when I use Dominate.

However, this brings up an issue. Positive energy. It harms undead. However, I CHANNEL it, despite being undead. How do I deal with that? Am I immune to my own positive energy? What about the party Cleric's? If one of us tries to flash fry some undead, am I screwed, or can I or the Cleric choose not to have me affected?

You choose if your affected by your own however you cleric buddy needs selective channeling.

Thanks.

Do I still need negative energy to heal, or does being a Paladin mean I can do it with positive energy? If so, does that mean negative energy will harm me? I'm willing to play a good aligned character that needs negative energy to heal, but I want to be absolutely sure that that is indeed the rule.


Under RAW, a Vampire must be evil. I'm not disputing that. However, what if I wanted a Lawful Good Vampire, and my GM and I are willing to let the violation of the RAW slide? Why is this? I want to play a Vampire Paladin.
