Good vampires wielding holy weapons


Rules Questions


Since vampires can apparently be non-evil I have an issue with a vampire that will soon have access to a Holy weapon. By the rules I can't find anything that means a non-evil vampire couldn't wield one and neither would it take a negative level from it. Just seems inappropriate. Am I missing anything rules wise?

Nope, Holy only cares about Alignment, not what your Type is.


I agree with Rysky, the rules are straightforward here. So I'd move on to the fluff:

Good alignment is also about redemption and getting rid of prejudices. So a good-aligned vampire would actually be welcomed by the forces of good. A neutral-aligned vampire is more questionable, but if it fights for a good cause, why not support it with a weapon that improves its chances?

Nobody is beyond redemption, not even a demon.

Thanks for the input guys.

If the subtype is evil it matter, but the vampires don't have the evil subtype, so it isn't a problem.
