Actually, according to the Ravenloft Campaign Setting Core Rulebook (pub. by Sword & Sorcery Studios), Vampires do need to feed, on no fewer than 4 Constitution points of blood per night to remain in pefect "health" -- less than this and they suffer one "negative level" (another exception to the rules for most Undead) until they reach one level/HD, at which point they're a ravenous beast consumed totally by bloodlust. Each night of regular feeding erases 1 "negative level." Blood from fresh corpses and non-humanoids is half as "nutritious" -- a vampire would need to drain 8 Contitution points worth of blood from an animal in one night to maintain it's perfect "health."
As I said, though, those rules are for Vampires in the Ravenloft setting as presented by Sword & Sorcery Studios. Which makes perfect sense to me, and were I to DM a game with Vampire PC's, I'd certainly implement that rule.

That's fine, too. I was pointing out information from the SRD.Hand of Vecna said:

Just wait another month, and the whole ECL thing will finally be put to rest as Savage Species comes out (I hope!). There's even going to be a way to break down an ECL creature so it can gradually "grow" into it's full form. That way people can play a Centaur or Ogre at FIRST level.
