My table is currently playing the old Expedition to Castle Ravenloft 3.5 campaign using Pathfinder pcs and rules. The party has come across a scroll of Destruction and are considering using it on Count Strahd or one of his vampire cohorts. Does Destruction work against vampires? I am leaning towards it does as I have seen nothing that says it doesn't. Thought I would get some ideas from other game masters. Thanks!

I don't think it would work. The spell is a necromancy [death] spell that requires a fort save. Undead are immune to death effects and effects that require fort saves.
An undead creature possesses the following traits (unless otherwise noted in a creature’s entry)
...
*Immunity to death effects, disease, paralysis, poison, sleep effects, and stunning.
...
*Immunity to any effect that requires a Fortitude save (unless the effect also works on objects or is harmless).
Just found those tidbits myself. I texted the group and they are bummed out as they have dealt with Strahd and his cohorts for longer than they care to... Guess they will have to take out the Dayheart after all. Thanks!
