Thanks for all the answers. There's still only one point that's nagging
me. Doug quoted me and said:

So... why put the line in *at all* about failing Con checks (and it *is*
for Con-less creatures, not for ones with a Con of zero; I
double-checked)? I mean, if none of the creatures lacking Con have to
worry about checks involving their life force, what's the point of having
that sentence there? Am I missing something blindingly obvious, or can any
of you come up with a situation in which you'd say, "The vampire fails her
Con check, so X happens"?
Puzzled,
