[QUOTE="gamerprinter, post: 6061401, member: 50895"] I've been thinking about building a vampire lord, as the power behind an urban criminal organization, with spawn among the lieutenants, but most of the organization doesn't realize they are vampires - some might suspect, but not something they talk about. Because of a vampires powers of mind control, I've never seen them as a dungeon denizen, rather a power broker in a network or organization. As a useful tool, I built the criminal organization using the [URL="http://www.d20pfsrd.com/gamemastering/variant-rules/variant-rules-3rd-party/rite-publishing/creating-a-yakuza-gang"][B]Yakuza Gang Creation[/B][/URL] rules at d20pfsrd.com, although designed for a Pathfinder setting they aren't PF specific and can easily work in a 3x game, the rules create a gang stat block, determining alignment, members of the upper command, the gang's honor, lore, morale and society, specific criminal activities - it's a comprehensive tool to help you design a criminal syndicate. Since you aren't designing a full caster vampire, and not fighty one, that leaves only stealth based and social interaction classes which seem to fit well in a crime organization concept. At least its the direction I'm going with mine. Bard would be a good choice, but mine will probably be a PF archetype or an archetype of one of the other PF classes. [/QUOTE]
