@PaleEnchantress: I really appreciate all your input, I was trying to add a disclaimer in the beginning that even though I felt like I was shooting down all your ideas, I still really appreciated the ideas and the effort behind them, and I welcome the discussion!<br/><br/>As for the confusion based side of things -- frankly, I don't think it'll ever work on the BBEG (BBGG in our case?) anyway. Anything that instantly disables and one-shots the big bad isn't going to work. There will be some way that the target is immune, even with our immunity breakers. That's why I wrote the AoI Immunity Breaker to be "Adds a bunch to the ST" -- minions/crowds/nobodies, even if they're immune, will still fail the save even with a big boost.<br/><br/>Methu deals 22 Damage per Negative Level. First attack is 3 negative levels, rest are 2 -- so maximum is 418 Vile if he hits with every hit.<br/><br/>Vampire Lord always creates Vampires -- never Vampire Spawn. I also thought, at first reading, that Vampire Lord had no cap on HD of enslaved Vampires, but now I'm questioning if that's true...<br/><br/>I'll check in with Zaer and see how he feels about applying Vampire to other types. The main appeal of the 'Demon-Vampire' thing was that the target wouldn't be undead, though maybe that's not really a concern, since they'd still have all the Vampire Weaknesses anyway. Undead might be a bonus at that point.
