[QUOTE="jdavis, post: 882405, member: 8704"] Drats once again I arrive to late for the obvious pun:D I'd have to go with the it' depends crowd. Last time I did a vampire lair it was distinguished more by the vampire's guards and servants than by it's layout. I'd go with lots of fun undead, some wargs, and I was always fond of vargoilles and creeping claws just for the creepy effect, they are not much of a challenge but flying heads and hands crawling around (I had hundreds of them crawling around everywhere like spiders) add to the atmosphere. He had a Death Tyrant Beholder guarding his coffin and a 12 step magic trap guarding his treasure and he had several vampire spawns as servants and guards and a vampire with levels of fighter as a personal bodyguard (the main Vampire was a Cleric of Nerull). Some of the room features were rooms covered with cobwebs because they had not been used in hundreds of years (such as the kitchen) abd several cells for storing the living until he was ready to either eat them or turn them into vampire spawn. He also had several escape routes built in so he could move straight to his coffin room or out of the lair from any room (in mist form). [/QUOTE]
