Got a couple of tricky ones for you, that got asked of me and couldn't answer.
Q 142 A vampire summoner notices he's being followed so he casts multiple summoning spells, and children of the night, to keep the PCs at bay while he escapes fully. It says that summons do not get added to the CR of the caster while fighting because they count as being part of the caster themself (which can royally suck). So question is, what kind of XP do the PCs get, if any, from this fight if the caster is literally casting and leaving?
Q 143 A character is rolled, and gets 17 CON. The other stats aren't that great, and looks to retrain his CON points to the other stats. The PC missed a few sessions, and has fallen behind on levels. The DM has it in his head that he'll help the player with getting better stat points and "catch up", and has them face a vampire. The vampire turns the PC into one as well (through a variant of the WotC Savage Species vampire LA template because he doesn't agree with the +8). He's got the additional stat points that you get from being a vampire, but now has -- CON. Is there any way for him to gain access to that 17 CON and retrain any of it, or is it gone for good?
