Chris Chandler commented on DATA-95:
------------------------------------

Investigation reveals the following races have the Energy Drain ability (in/for the RSRD), but the appropriate variables are not coded for them:

Abomination (Atropal)	
Thorciasid		
Demon (Succubus)	
Devourer		
Nightshade (Nightcrawler)
Spectre			
Tarrasque		
Vampire Spawn
Wight

>             Project: Data
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: RSRD (3.5E)
>    Affects Versions: 5.16.3, 5.17.3 (Alpha)

> Monsters' Energy Drain showing 0 levels - ID: 2947980
> TYPE: Bug, affects 5.16 and Trunk
> - Add Note: Confirmed by Andrew M.
> ===
> There are errors in both the Energy Drain ability in srd35/basics/rsrd_abilities_monsters and (at least) in the Wight entry in srd35/monsters/rsrd_races_w_x.lst [at pcgen5.16.2].
> - Energy Drain ability defines var EnergyDrainLVLs but the DESC tag uses var EnergyDrainLevels
> - Wight does not have the BONUS:VAR|EnergyDrainLVLs|1 necessary to implement the ability correctly
> - Confirmed in a new Wight character that the ability showed up on the output sheet as draining 0 levels per attack
> - Confirmed that a homebrew mod to these two errors fixes the problem on the character sheet
> (From a 2 second skim, didn't look like there were the necessary entries in the Vampire or Wraith either, but untested.)
