Anti-immortality and anti-regenerating weapons! Awesome idea! Possibly a silver weapon theme for Pythium, and wooden weapons (oak stakes and oak crossbow bolts) for elite Marignon stealthy vampire-hunter infantry. These would cause cause non-regeneratable damage in battle (or simply 3X damage to regenerating units?), and an immortal killed with them would not respawn (or else 3X damage to immortals). Holy Pyre could also get this special ability.

Also, "Holy Bible" (astral-1, con-0) and "Garlic Wreath" (nature-1, con-1) items could protect against life-drain attacks, or give a new Awe ability (Unholy Awe, like Animal Awe but affects undeads, werewolves, and unholy units, and the save is for MR rather than Morale). Or else attackers would suffer damage.
