Granted DDE has its own little quirks that a home game doesn't but experience is experience.First off, with my wife playing a Human Blackguard of Fury my Human Vampire doesn't pump out the vomitius amounts of damage she does (he does alright). But I had a blast role-playing him with the rest of the group.I played up the cheezy Eastern European accent and made some obligatory snarky comments about not sparkling...Mine was a tragic story, Zlatrazar was from a long line of vampire hunters and his father and brothers took him on a "mission" to blood him... unfortunately things didn't go well and in an act of cruelty the vampire his family was hunting turned the tables on them and turned Zlatrazar in front of his father and siblings before killing them.Zaltrazar was a horrible hunter, he is even less of a vampire. Left to fend for himself he now tries to figure out his new powers and dreams of a time when he can kill the very vampire that turned him...Yep, I definitely took Durable because I was not sure who was going to show up at the table. Good thing I did, we had the following:Human Blackguard (Paladin)Human Cavalier (Paladin)Human Executioner (Assassin)Shade Star Pact Binder (Warlock)and my Human Vamp...Here is my PC, Zlatrazar:====== Created Using Wizards of the Coast D&D Character Builder ======Human, VampireHuman Power Selection Option: Heroic Effort FINAL ABILITY SCORESSTR 10, CON 12, DEX 18, INT 10, WIS 10, CHA 16 STARTING ABILITY SCORESSTR 10, CON 12, DEX 16, INT 10, WIS 10, CHA 16  AC: 16 Fort: 13 Ref: 15 Will: 15HP: 24 Surges: 4 Surge Value: 6 TRAINED SKILLSAcrobatics +9, Bluff +8, Stealth +9, Religion +5, Thievery +9 UNTRAINED SKILLSArcana +0, Athletics +0, Diplomacy +3, Dungeoneering +0, Endurance +1, Heal +0, History +0, Insight +0, Intimidate +3, Nature +0, Perception +0, Streetwise +3 POWERSBasic Attack: Melee Basic AttackBasic Attack: Ranged Basic AttackHuman Racial Power: Heroic EffortVampire Attack: Blood DrinkerVampire Attack 1: Swarm of ShadowsVampire Attack 1: Dark BeckoningVampire Attack 1: Taste of LifeVampire Attack 1: Vampire Slam FEATSLevel 1: DurableLevel 1: Ki Focus Expertise ITEMSKi Focus x1Cloth Armor (Basic Clothing) x1Crossbow x1Adventurer's KitCrossbow BoltsThieves' ToolsHoly Symbol====== End ======</blockquote>
