First, what's with the color? It hurts the eyes, it does.

Second; several tons of granite in the form of a mausoleum are a classic item that does this. Usually including a coffin.

An item that constantly generates deeper darkness should do the trick.

And what does 'a tan empire' mean? If I wanted poorly thought-out clues, I'd have read the Da Vinci Code.

You'd have to play in d20 modern to get ahold of some UV blockers.

Buwhahaha. UV Protection +900.

Make it a psionic vamp and allow it to use Control Light.

There is basically "vampire sunblock" in Libris Mortis. It lasts for an hour I think. I can't remember the name. It's in the magic items section of that book. I think it's kind of stupid, personally, and won't be using it in my games.

What about a really wide brimmed hat or other type of shawl plus some gloves?

Yeah, and what's with the "A tan empire" or "At an empire"?

If the vampire changes to his wolf form, he can survive in sunlight.

Keep in mind that we're dealing with undead monsters in a medieval fantasy world, not with Anne Rice rejects in an ex-post-modern one. Sunlight isn't a bundle of EM radiation filtered through an ozone layer, it's the benevolent gaze of Pelor (or whatever, take your pick). If a vampire shows his face in the light of day, he should get what's commin' to him - zinc oxide not withstanding.

He could seal himself in a portable hole, if he had one lying around... or you could take a clue from D20 modern, drop a couple of special abilities and call him a daywalker. I like the latter myself.

In one of the high end modules there is a set of Goggles with the special ability to take a Full Round Action while under the effects of Sunlight, but they were still destroyed if they did not get out of the sunlight.

thanks everyone

oh and it means nothing, not really a clue unless you look so deep you fabricate one for yourself, see, my post was at 5:09am and i was tired, i had accidently selected 'em' and gave it a different color, then i laughed to myself and then saw that if i also changed the color of p and ire it would be empire then i looked for something else to color and it ended up being 'a tan'. so there you go, means nothing.
