[QUOTE="FiddleSticks96, post: 5505507, member: 6673096"] Wow, thanks for all the replies guys. I'm not done reading through all of them (still on page 2), but I've seen some interesting thoughts so far. To clear some things up, someone said something about vampires not drinking blood. Completely ignoring most every source of vampire lore, Page 9 of Libris Mortis CLEARLY states vampires as having BLOOD as their diet. About creatures of "Always" alignment not being able to change alignment. The notion that they can has existed for as long as alignment has existed. House rules aside, Page 10 of Fiend Folio states that, though it is a one-in-a-million chance, it is still possible for such a creature to change alignment. Vampires don't require the blood of the innocent. Personal preference aside, any blood will do. I don't remember seeing a rule that says that vampires HAVE to drink the blood of the innocent, or kill anyone. Constitution Drain is semi-permanent, as restoration spells will remove them, as well as a number of other spells. I don't think anyone will say that feeding on an animal is evil, as for people, causing ability drain is clearly not a good act if the person's alignment is good, and you are just feeding, but it is not necessarily evil. It is a neutral act at best and an evil act at worst. [/QUOTE]
