Possible Adventure Idea
Okay I just wanted to float this idea past you all, if the majority of you aren't interested then I might run it as a separate adventure for some others.
For a longtime I've wanted to run a game where the characters start out as the good guys who're sent on a mission to destroy a big bad vampire. In the attempt the heroes are captured and turned into vampires themselves, and then are sent on various missions, such as destroy the church that sent them etc etc.
The Characters wouldn't necessarily have to remain vampires forever there would be the possibility that they get returned to life or remain the same. It would be very much up to the players to decide, if they are no longer having fun being the vampires then I'd include a way to turn them back.
As part of the game at one stage I would look at recruiting a rival group of good guys to try and storm your new stronghold, so then you would have the task of trying to repel the invaders.
I've got quite a few ideas about how this could go without it getting to grim and gritty, but I'd thought float the idea past you lot first to see if there was any interest.
Part of the appeal of doing this, is you'd start with heavily established good characters and then you'd have to turn everything on it's head when you were converted to the cause of evil.
If you guys do agree to this, it won't be a case that you will be automatically turned to vampires, but the possibility would exist that at least some of you would fall prey to my vicious cunning.

I find the concept interesting as well. However, Nira would loose all of her druid ethos and spell casting abilities. She would still have her bard perks but Vampires are immune to mind effects. So I am not too sure how effective of a vampire she will make.

If we decide to go for this only the moral portion of everyone alignment would change to evil, so I'm assuming that Nira would then be NE, which still allow her to keep her druid levels.Bloodweaver1 said:
Regarding her Bardic ability I'm sure we can work something out, maybe Vampires can willing allow the morale boosting effects to work on them. Just as creatures with Spell Resistance can automatically lower it when they want.

Well (unbeknownst to the rest of the party currently), Vardrin does have a bit o'taint from previous. He's going a more fiendish route than undead, however. Full Vamps have a +8 LA while half-fiends only have +4 
So, exploring Vardrin's dark side (with possibility of redemption later) could be interesting. However, I'm still technically one of the new(ish) guys here...

Don't worry about the LA aspect of going a vampire I'd make sure that you're still progressing in levels at a rapid rate, and if we did go down this route there is nothing stopping you from continuing to take levels if Acolyte of the Skin. A fiendish vampire would be scary indeed.stonegod said:Well (unbeknownst to the rest of the party currently), Vardrin does have a bit o'taint from previous.

I don't want to force anyones hand in this, and I'll be certainly making sure that if anyone does end up playing a vampire (remember it's not guaranteed) that your characters won't be forced to do anything distasteful.Legildur said:
At this stage this is just a suggestion, if there were any strong objections I could always do this as a side adventure for those who're interested. A sort of alternate reality.
The main reason for bringing it up for you guys, is I think it would be far more effective to introduce this concept into an already established group, (rather than starting out as vampires) this would make the fall into darkness and possible redemption all the more poignant and noteworthy.
