This example uses a half-elf Monk 9/shadowdancer 4 as the base creature.

Flurry of Blows (Ex): Use the full attack action to make one extra attack per round with an unarmed strike or a special monk, weapon at her highest base attack, making the extra attack either with her +2 keen kama or unarmed.

Ki Strike (Su): Deal damage to creatures with damage reduction using unarmed strike as though with a magic weapon.

Shadow Illusion (Sp): Create visual illusions from shadows as silent image once per day.

Summon Shadow (Sp): Summon one shadow companion, which cannot be turned, rebuked, or commanded by others. If the shadow is destroyed or dismissed, the shadowdancer must succeed on a DC 15 Fortitude save or lose 800 XP (400 XP on a successful save). A new shadow cannot be summoned for a year and a day.

Half-Elf Traits (Ex): Immunity to sleep spells and effects; +2 racial bonus on saves against enchantment spells or effects; low-light vision (can see twice as far as a human in low-light conditions); +1 racial bonus on Listen, Spot, and Search checks (already figured into the statistics given here); +2 racial bonus on Diplomacy and Gather Information checks.

Hide in Plain Sight (Su): Can use the Hide skill even while being observed as long as within 10 feet of a shadow.

Improved Evasion (Ex): If the vampire makes a successful Reflex saving throw against an attack that normally deals half damage on a successful save, she instead takes no damage. In addition, she takes only half damage on a failed save.

Purity of Body (Ex): Immunity to all diseases except for magical diseases such as mummy rot and lycanthropy.

Shadow Jump (Sp): Travel instantaneously between shadows as a dimension door spell, up to 20 feet per day.

Slow Fall (Ex): A monk within arm's reach of a wall takes damage as if the fall were 40 feet shorter than it actually is.

Still Mind (Ex): +2 bonus on saves against enchantment spells, and effects.

Wholeness of Body (Su): Cure up to 18 hit points of her own wounds each day

Possessions: +2 keen kama, +1 frost sling, 10 +1 sling bullets, ring of protection +2, bracer's of armor +3, periapt of Wisdom +4.

This vampire's unarmed strikes are treated as magic weapons for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.

The DC is 17 for the Will save against this vampire's domination ability, and for the Fortitude save to remove a negative level caused by its energy drain.

Augmented Subtype

A creature receives this subtype whenever something happens to change its original type. Some creatures (those with an inherited template) are born with this subtype; others acquire it when they take on an acquired template. The augmented subtype is always paired with the creature's original type. For example, a wizard's raven familiar is a magical beast (augmented animal). A creature with the augmented subtype usually has the traits of its current type, but the features of its original type. For example, a wizard's raven familiar has an animal's features and the traits of a magical beast.
