|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"?
Perhaps I'm mis-reading you, If I am, just disregard anything I have to say. But I think you might be confusing a Constitution Attribute Check and a Concentration Skill Check (Con/Con get it?). The deal is that the concentration skill uses the constitution trait to determine it's bonuses and penalties. The question would be then, do vampires automatically fail any skill using consitution since they don't have that attribute. It doesn't generally matter since most consititution based skills make no sense in terms of undead physiology anyway. The idea is that a Vampire would add it's Charisma modifier for the concentration skill check using it's force of personality rather than it's force of life to maintain the spell.
