Editing Vorlog (section)

==Vorlog Template==
The vorlog appears as a template in two seperate sourcebooks for Ravenloft D20; ''Denizens of Darkness'' (3.0), and ''Denizens of Dread'' (3.5). The stats below are repeated from Denizens of Dread, with notes on how the DoDarkness version differed.

::Base Creature: Humanoid or Monstrous Humanoid
::Size & Type: Unchanged
::Hit Dice: Increase by one die type, to a maximum of D12.
::Speed: Unchanged
::Armor Class: +3 natural armor
::Attack: Unchanged
::Full Attack: Unchanged
::Damage: Unchanged
::Special Attacks: Gain the following additional special attacks.
:::Animal Rage (Su): At-will, a vorlog can send all animals within a 50ft radius into a mad rage, as per the Rage spell cast by a 12th level caster. Affected animals must succeed on a Will save (DC 10 + 1/2 vorlog's HD + vorlog's [[Charisma]] modifier) or start attacking the nearest creature, including other enraged animals or the vorlog itself.
:::Charm Person (Sp): At-will. A vorlog's charm invokes pity and sympathy, but otherwise functions as a Charm Person spell cast by a 6th level [[Sorcerer (Dungeons & Dragons)|Sorcerer]] and a Will save DC of 11 + vorlog's Cha modifier.
:::Wisdom Drain (Su): A vorlog's unarmed attack inflicts 1d3 Wisdom damage. (Darkness specifies this as Temporary Wisdom Damage)
:::Create Surrogate (Su): A creature whose Wisdom is reduced to 3 or less becomes a Lost One under the vorlog's control. A vorlog can turn such an unfortunate into a Surrogate by feeding them its blood over 3 consecutive nights. A vorlog can only have 1 Surrogate at a time. Once a being becomes a Surrogate, the vorlog allows its Wisdom to recover, restoring functionality, but never higher than half of its maximum value; the vorlog uses its Wisdom Drain to keep the surrogate's wits impaired.
::Special Qualities: Gain the following additional special qualities.
:::Damage Reduction: 5/Silver and Magic. Darkness grants them DR 10/+1)
:::Fast Healing (Ex): A vorlog with at least 1 hit point left recovers 1 hit point of damage each hour.
:::Surrogate's Strength (Ex): If a vorlog's Surrogate is physically present, a vorlog's Fast Healing is 1 hit point of damage each round.
:::Puddle Form (Ex): A vorlog reduced to 0 hit points or lower dissolves into a puddle of tears with a mournful wail. This puddle then attempts to escape; it has both a land speed and a climb speed of 20 feet, and can flow through the smallest cracks. A vorlog in puddle form that fails to reach a dark haven within 1d4 hours is destroyed. It takes 8 hours of resting in a dark haven before a vorlog in puddle form can regain its humanoid form.
:::Immunities (Su): Mind-affecting effects, poison, sleep, and paralysis.
::Saves: Unchanged
::Abilities: +4 [[Strength]], +2 [[Dexterity]], +2 [[Charisma]]
::Skills: +8 racial bonus to Move Silently checks.
::Feats: A vorlog gains Alertness and Improved Unarmed Strike as bonus feats.
::Environment: Any land and underground.
::Organization: Solitary
::Challenge Rating: Same as base creature +1
::Treasure: Standard
::Alignment: Usually Chaotic, Always Evil
::Advancement: By character class
::[[Level Adjustment]]: Base Creature's +8
::Weaknesses: A vorlog takes 1d6 hit points of damage each round it is exposed to sunlght, and will not approach anyone who presents the holy symbol of a good aligned deity with both courage and conviction. A vorlog will starve to death if it fails to feed on both food and spiritual energy (Wisdom), and will die if denied a Surrogate's presence for 3 months.
