Iry posted pictures of Ravenloft's AD&D vampires for all the demi-humans. There's a gnome vampire. And these guys, man, they are tortured and nasty. Consider converting the below from the Ravenloft version:Features* Cursed with silence, robbing them of their beloved joking and singing.* Weak melee blows, but in combat their hits may render targets permanently crippled. In AD&D, vampires permanently drained XP or ability scores. Gnome vampires drained 2 Dexterity a pop. * Once a round, they could twist their face into Tasha's Hideous Uncontrollable Laughter with double duration and damage each round. * Immune to non-metal weapons. Wood won't do a thing.* Can assume Spectral Form (like vampire mist), can pass through stone but cannot pass through living things or once-living things like a wooden wall* Change Self (Disguise) at will with no duration limit, cannot change form like other vampires. * Command (Dominate) animal at will, 2d4 day duration* Spider Climb at will, earth and stone only* Immune to illusions, 1/2 damage from cold, lightning, fire* Use any class abilities they had before transformed* Bonus save vs. magic* They cannot turn away from a valuable Jewel (unless attacked)* Reduced damage from holy water* Immune to daylight created by spells. Instantly destroyed, however, by natural daylight.* Very complex way to kill it. Only with blessed silver spike, then cut off hands and boil in a hot spring for 24 hours, then put body in a casket, replace eyes with gems, and nail it shut to end it all. Wow.* Very hard process to create more vampires, involving a ritual where they are powerless for a few days. Hence, they rarely do and are largely solo.Plus, like all Ravenloft vampires, they all get tougher with age.</blockquote>
