Blah!The Denizens of Darkness book (also put out by White Wolf) includes a variety of vampire sub-breeds, and suggestions/rules for playing a human-becoming vampire. I dont remember the exact templates as I am at work, but they were quite interesting.  It would not be difficult to create Clan templates in variation to these vampire examples. If you want to avoid the standard spell-slinging classes of D&D, or at least highly restrict it. You could use a variation of the Mage Prestige class from the Polyhedron Shadow Chasers supplement, and allow for Tremere vamps access to it at lower requirements.  Vicissitude would be a VERY interesting power to create in d20. Maybe borrowing a page from the Dark Side Alchemy stuff concerning bodily modefication. Perhaps Blood bonding should be a Supernatural ability common to all such vamps, or possibly just a Create Ghoul (its own template), or Addictive Blood.Ghoul (Template)Ghouls are humans or animals who have been fed  the blood of vampires and thus become a near-undead creature. Addicted to its "master". The creatures type remains the same though gains the ghoul subtype.HD: Same as Base creature.Speed: +10ftAttacks:Same as Base creature. Face Reach: Same as Base creature.Special attacks: Same as Base creature.Special Qualities: Their diet of vampire blood grants ghouls a variety of interesting powers.    Fast Healing(Ex): The ghoul heals damage at a remarkable rate. equal to 1 +1hp per masters Hit Dice, per round.    Addiction (Ex): Ghouls are utterly obediant and subservient to their vampire master. They always act as though under the effects of a Dominate Monster spell as cast by a 20th level wizard.   Living Undead: Though they still retain their original type, ghouls are considered undead in regard to spells and special bonuses or items are concerned.     Immunities: Immune to poison, disease, supernatural fear effects, and aging effects, magical or otherwise. Ghouls take only half-damage from subdual damage, and suffer death from massive damage as though they were one size larger.Saves: Same as Base creature.Abilities:+4 Str, +0 Dex, +2 Con, +0 Int, +0 Wis, +0 ChaSkills: Same as Base creature.Organization: As masterChallenge Rating: Same as Base creature +2.Alignment: Same as Base creature, though often with leanong towards that of its master.Advancement: By character Class</blockquote>
