Thread Title : Glantrian undead and protection

I read somewhere, maybe at the Vault or at the Glantrian Personnel Division's website that Morphail or some other Glantrian vampire had researched a version of "Immunity to normal weapons" - "Immunity to stakes" - making him invulnerable to the good ol' stake-in-the-heart-takes-care-of-the-vampire-rutine.

Seeing as how both the House of Igorov and the House of Crownguard has been run by undead Princes for centuries does anyone have any great ideas for other protective measures they might have developed against the common anti-undead weapons and tactics?

I am not asking for complete descriptions of new spells or magical items, outlines of ideas are fine if you have any!

I don't know about anti-vampire-hunter spells, but I always thought a cool spell for vampire hunters would be a variation of the Stinking Cloud spell: Garlic Cloud. It would affect vampires, obviously, and it could also work like garlic spray against the living.

Yeah, the movie wasn't all that great. Ofcourse, I wasn't expecting much from "the creator of the Mummy", but I much preferred his earlier movies to this one. Still, it had a few enjoyable scenes.

Also, alot of devices for killing Vampires, and at least one Vampire who wouldn't be defeated by using the regular tricks (hence its connection to this topic). 

I see no reason why a Wizard Vampire couldn't create a Protection from Normal Stakes, spell, similar to Protection from Normal Missiles. He could also forge this spell into a ring and wear it all the time. Thus, the player's would have to track down a magical stake, and there aren't too many of those around, especially in the Boldavia area. 

Another spell, similar to resist fear might be used to overcome Turning.

A variant of Mirror Image might give the Vampire a reflection in the mirror.

He will still have to deal with garlic and running water, but Im sure a clever Vamp could find a way to get around those ones aswell.

Hmmm, such a clever Vamp should be careful or some strange gypsies might just come around and give him a soul.... ;)

Cool. Very interesting. What defences would a McGregor undead develop? What could threaten a Lich that he would have to take measures against?
