which, although wrong, is pretty darn funny when you think about it.  Maybe left over from their living days - "hey, ow!  I'll just cast cure and ARRGHGHTHHTTTTTHHhhhh...."

We should also give them deities in their fields, along with all the others, so that we can figure out which god is sponsoring all these billions of divine messengers we kill over the years. "Mummy priest? Who are you following, anyway? Really? No w- Hey! Oh man, we go way back! How the heck are you, buddy?"

I'd like to add a bit to this suggestion... though I've never encountered any of these suicidal vampire.

As priests they should have access to both cure wound and inflict wound. Though inflict wound is often an offensive spell against the living. It heals the undead however.

My suggestion would be to remove cure wound from all undead preiest (Skeli, Vamp, Mum, ect.) and replace with a cast on self inflict wound. Unless NPCs can't cast it on self. Alternatively, replace with Vampiric touch and/or any other life stealing spells.

A great idea Drakogear; except I seem to remember that since the spell Inflict Wounds is an offensive spell, so the undead could only cast it on the attackers and not on themselves. I may be wrong in this and bow to more experience in the design of monsters.

It certainly would be useful to replace their cure spells with other spells altogether.

Unfortunately, those Vampire Priests are standard Bioware creatures, so to fix that, we'd have to add a new creature to the palette.  In that light, I'll consider it, but you know...it's been this way for years, so maybe we chalk it up to those Vampires not being very smart for now.
