I'd better read all this again when I'm sober and can concentrate on the filth I'm passing through my eye sockets...

The Vampire class is the class that all DM's are going to hate, and at least one person at your table is always going to want to play.
I don't see the appeal myself, but I dislike Changelings, Dragonborn, Shardminds, Tieflings and all the other monsters already. The vampire is certainly not any worse than any of those oddball options if you like your D&D in a Tolkienish flavour like I do.
I also have to admit that a new class is also the best way to add a template onto an existing player character race. As well, it isn't any more bizarre than playing a revenant, and I've seen revenant builds that are designed to look and act like vampires already.

Maybe including vampires as playable along with Shadowfell is a way of not having to come out with the Ravenloft update WoTC mentioned at GenCon - unless that's still on the way? I can't imagine it would be.

Vampire class reminds me of the Slayer class a lot. I'm almost certainly never going to want to play one but it expands the options available without cluttering things up and so is a good thing.

Yeah, rank vampires up with assassins as a class a certain kind of player loves to play.
*shudders* I remember players wanting to do assassins in 3E. Assassin changed to good, but unwilling to give up the assassination ability.
But vampires as a class is at least slightly interesting. I will be interested to see how they do it. I doubt I will get the book, but it will be discussed here, I have no doubt.
Vive la ENworld!
