Does dropping a vampire in the ocean cost him 1/3rd of his HP per round, or not?
Yes.
I agree. It would count as running water.
When you realize that the oceans are always in motion, what with the tides themselves as well as ocean currents (e.g. the Gulf Stream), I'd say the oceans count as running water.

Though traditionally, a vampire could cross at high or low tide, which was one of the traditional myths used by Bram Stoker in Dracula...
Also, while a vampire could not cross running water by themselves, they could be carried over running water in a boat or over a bridge. This too was a traditional myth used by Bram Stoker in Dracula...

This would still apply IMO. At least, being carried over. Too bad ocean currents are found throughout the oceans; they have played major roles in the discovery of various lands in the real world as well as having major effects on climate.

+1. Dracula had serious problems traveling on a ship, but that's the way he went to London and back.

Not really an issue in Pathfinder though since Vampires are only effected by running water if they're submerged in it.
Inability to cross it is not actually one of their weaknesses. So being on a boat is no difficulty for them.
I was just wondering if the ocean was basically lava to vampires in pathfinder and the consensus seems to be that it is.

Do note that a vampire with a natural Swim speed doesn't take any damage from being in the water though. From the PRD section on vampires, "Speed: Same as the base creature. If the base creature has a swim speed, the vampire is not unduly harmed by running water."
Fear the boggard vampire, Count Frogula!!! I had a thread a few weeks ago where I was trying to figure out what happens if a vampire (let's presume it is one with a Swim speed) gets forced into Gaseous Form underwater. Creatures in Gaseous Form can't enter water, but what if they're already in water? I think there's no clear rules answer.

Holy crap, that is a crazy coincidence since that's exactly what happened. We had a boggard get turned into a Vampire this week and I was wondering if his days in the water were done.
Well, that managed to perfectly answer my question. Thank you.

I would think they just 'float' to the surface at maximum speed during their turn. No other action possible until they surface.

In my experience I find that people's roleplaying games often aren't as original as the involved roleplayers think.
Mermaid vampires. I want to do it so bad (No, I didn't see that Pirates of the Caribbean, but I heard about it).

It was this post.
It was the post where you noted by RAW people can't see the sun due to the penalties on perception every 10 feet.
I'm not sure that's actually true though, the sun's size modifier would likely negate any range modifier.

To my knowledge, there is nothing larger than colossal in Pathfinder.
This again?
Go outside and point directly at the sun. Chances are, you missed. You missed by eight minutes, approximately.
Is the -1 per 10 feet perception penalty appropriate for representing the lag due to the speed of light over large distances? :P

Still waiting for the DVD...
As your reward, wait no longer!
I removed a post and the replies to it. Don't post angry.
