Dace Sontan

Dace Sontan is the former coordinator of the Spellhold asylum and architect (or "builder" as referred to in certain game text) of the dungeon labyrinth below the asylum. 
==Gameplay==
He was transformed into a vampire by Bodhi and placed in the dungeon to guard the portal to the exit. When killed, he will retreat into his coffin, in which case he must be staked to relieve him from undeath. When this is done, you will gain The Hand of Dace, one of the necessary components to unlock the Head of the Builder passageway in Spellhold Bodhi's Hunt Level 1.
Like all vampires, he has the ability to drain experience levels upon a successful hit. He has 96 hit points with a strength of 19, dexterity of 18, and is immune to +2 or lower enchantment weapons, making him a difficult opponent to fight. Dace can attempt the Vampire domination ability in the first few seconds of a battle.
After the vampire form retreats to is coffin it may speak as the "Dace Apparition", it pleads and remarks that it he must be properly slain with a stake. The builder is cursed by Bodhi and can explain how to progress further in the Asylum if engaged in dialogue.

==Mod content==
Sword Coast Stratagems mod revises Dace's AI script, especially if the "Smarter Vampires" component is installed. If so, Dace will utilize the various enhanced powers provided to vampires such as shapeshift abilities (bat, rat or wolf), Cloud of Bats, "Children of the Night" and the choice to use the regular level drain attack or a blood drain attack should an enemy have Negative Plane Protection.
