So, unless he's planning on travelling over running water, he doesn't need it (and frankly I always assume they can just fly over it, or use a bridge). Even with that restriction, though, I'd say they'd usually travel as a wolf since that's their fastest form.I'd say that the vampire normally has his home area fairly well covered; he'll have coffins buried under a foot or so of dirt, in the attic/basement/barn of loyal human followers or people that are too afraid of him to stand against him, in various town graveyards (probably in sealed stone tombs whose only entrances are a series of pinpricks so he can enter and leave in gaseous form), and he'll have spares in various towns as well. Dracula was doing an unusual, bold and dangerous thing with his trip to England. In a world with an extensive Underdark, they probably use that and travel as a bat or dire bat.Normally, I overlook the coffin bit for travelling though that has the advantage that few thieves will try to open it and they do have that problem of laying as one dead during the day. In some campaigns, I keep the native soil bit, and they have handfulls of it in the lining of the clothes, or boots. In most games I run, though, I just up their CR some and drop some of the more annoying disads, making them more like Vampire vampires.</blockquote>
