It's interesting to compare the overlapping abilities. You have multiple sources by 11th level that turn you into bats (Vryloka + Class), drain blood (Class + Bloodline), give you low-light vision (Vryloka + Bloodline), and turn you into clouds of mist (Class + Bloodline), and make you "undead" (Vryloka + Class). About the only unique aspect is the Vryloka LV 6 "Bloodwolf Form," which is the only wolf-form thing you can get at this point. To get it, you'd have to give up either a bat form, or a cloud of mist, from your class abilities. Which you might do, if your vampire concept really needs to have a wolf in it.

Of course, you could go Vampire Hybrid, and grab Druid or Ranger powers to get that Creatures of the Night mix, as a Beastmaster, or with your Wild Shape. Ranger is not a bad fix, hybrid-speaking, actually. Dex focus would do well. Bard could be intersting for the Cha-monkeys, as it would give you a lot of charm and manipulation powers, but it doesn't seem like it would be as useful as a Ranger.

Still a totally functional character.

In fact, my group might be loosing a striker in a week or two as we shift DMs and our current warforged barbarian becomes the DM. I might jump on this. Seems like it'll be at LEAST as effective as the gnome night stalker assassin I've whipped up. :)

So far, sounds legal. To add to the fun, maybe you could add some of those Dhampir feats from early 4E Dragon . . . that might not be legal . . .

Which would make you the half-undead child of a vampire and a vryloka (or, perhaps 3/4 undead) who passed away, was brought back as a revenant by the Raven Queen, than vampirized yet again . . .

I think it's a bit of a loophole.

To take the vampire bloodline feats, the exact prerequisite is a living humanoid race.

Vryloka are a living humanoid race. Revenants are not.

Vryloka also get to be considered living or undead depending on what they want (e.g.: what might benefit them the most), so a vryloka vampire isn't always undead, unless it would help them out.

It's RAW-legal, baby! CB let me do it just fine.
