Hi Clay_More mate!

It would be like a Vampire Template with multiple flavours (Prestige Classes).
The sky would be the limit.
Of course any discussion of vampires would be incomplete without mentioning the greatest:

I have seen the tables you just posted, looks great, and I am sure simplifies things for people.
By the way, congratulations, over 70 downloads eh!
Thanks UK, I really think that I (ahemm...) made a masterstroke when I introduced the Vampiric Gifts. They do allow for alot of customisation, since they are more powerful than feats. This allows you to make abilities that would otherwise be too powerful to be a feat. And, yeah, allot of Downloads, I like it. But, Im gonna repost it with changes later.

Hi Clay_More mate!
Well I hate to blow my own trumpet as it were but once I finish the current iteration of the CR/EL document it will be very simple to create really balanced gifts and powers (since this time I think I have covered every ability in the Monster Manual and Epic Level Handbook).
By the way if you get the chance try and get to see the Hellsing manga series. Its got vampires up the wazoo. There would definately be something in there to inspire you! All manner of different 'flavours' of vampire.

Thanks again UK, ill check the site once I get to work (Who else has an 8 hour workday where they can spend 6 hours working on D&D + attending forums.. Off course, except those that do it for a living).
Off course, I expect that I shall receive the finished document no later than 1 minute after its completion, UK!
I think I got enough material on undeads & necromancy to write a whole damm book by now. Hmmm, I wonder if an unnatural liking of undead and necromancy says something about a persons personality...?
Im working on the Lich at the moment, but it just takes so much of my time to do the Vampire that I hardly have time. I do though have a little treat later on today, when I get to work. The leader of the good vampires in my own world, a 1 st. generation vampire / 39 th. level wizard
Thats one thing I bet youre missing from your Book UK, undeads..

Hi Clay_More mate!
No thanks needed dude!
Of course!
By the way using your tables I worked out the 15th Generation Vampire Template to be CR +56.5*
*Assuming each Gift is CR +1.
Approach it in the same manner as Savage Species. I think your above tables worked out really well. Simplifies a lot.
What about the leader of the bad vampires?
I am sure they are well represented with monsters and templates.

Vampiric Gifts – Lesser: Blood Consumption, Blood Healing, Mind Gift, Lesser Unholy Speed, Greater Unholy Speed.
Vampiric Gifts – Greater: Greater Blood Healing, Spell Magnification, Ability Absorption
Blood Drain: Rastaniel can suck blood from a living victim with its fang by making a successful grapple check. If it pins the foe, it drains blood, inflicting 3d12 points of permanent Constitution drain each round the pin is maintained.
Desire to Die (Su): Rastaniel can order any living creature to end it’s own life. The targeted creature must be within range of sight from Rastaniel. If the creature fails it’s will saving throw against a DC of 67, it performs a Coup de Grace on itself the following round with automatic success. It is still vulnerable to spells and effects, so the creatures allies can either grapple the creature or use some sort of paralysing magic to keep it from slaying itself.
Undead: Immune to mind-influencing effects, poison, sleep, paralysis, stunning, and disease. Not subject to critical hits, subdual damage, ability damage, energy drain, or death from massive damage.
Ancient (Ex): All Ancient creatures receive a +20 bonus to their Armor Class against non-ancient creatures. They are also immune to all mind-influencing effects and spells.
Immunities: Rastaniel is immune to Acid, Cold, Electricity and Fire
Spider Climb (Su): Rastaniel can climb sheer surfaces as though with a spider climb spell.’
Invisibility (Su): At will, Rastaniel can become invisible as per the spell invisibility. He cannot cast spells and attack while invisible.
True Seeing (Su): Rastaniel is able of seeing all that is hidden, giving him the ability to see as with the wizard version of True Seeing. This ability is permanent and cannot be turned of. The ability doesn’t work when the sun is up.
Alternate Form (Su): Rastaniel can assume the shape of a hawk, cheetah or leopard. This ability is similar to a polymorph self spell cast by a 12 th. Level sorcerer. Rastaniel can choose between all the different forms, but most return to vampire form in order to change to another form. He can change form as often as he desires, yet he cannot change form when the sun is up.
Spawn Sight (Su): The ancient vampire can see through the eyes and hear through the ears of any Vampires he has created. This even works if his minion is sleeping, unconscious or on another plane.
Spawn Teleport (Su): At will, Rastaniel can automatically teleport himself to any location where one if his minions are, as defined in Spawn Sight. It takes one round for Rastaniel to materialise. The old vampire can Spawn Teleport as much as he desires.
Calculating Mind (Ex): The ancient vampires are able of calculating the actions of its opponents through its superior intelligence and its natural speed. Thus, it adds its intelligence modifier to it’s AC.
Sense Vampire (Ex): Rastaniel can sense any other vampire within 2000 ft. of himself, even if they are invisible, on the other side of a wall or polymorphed. Rastaniel can though only sense vampires of lower Vampiric level than himself. He cannot sense vampires that are on another plane, like the ethereal or astral planes.
Immune to Turning (Su): Rastaniel is completely immune to turning, even though he is undead.
Rastaniel is the leader of the Vanquishers of Blood and is considered a demi-god by many. This is merely a test of the mechanics and options of the Vampire Template.
