Why don't vampires have a standing army of bodyguards?

[QUOTE="Dog Moon, post: 3976920, member: 23023"] An army of people CAN attract a large group of people, depending on how you do it. However, a large congregation at a Temple wouldn't necessarily. Choose a N deity. It doesn't really matter if the Vampire believes in that deity or not, but you might want to add in a few ranks of Kn (Religion) into his skills. His dominated followers act like worshippers of said God. Perhaps the PCs find out that the leader of the temple is a Vampire. They perhaps might know that the others are Dominated [and it very might well be the case that some of the worshippers are NOT dominated, making the situation a little more difficult] and because of this, they are going to have to fight the dominated without actually killing them. Further, as being members of this well-known deity, other people in the village/city may not like the idea of the temple being out-right attacked because it IS a holy place and would also attempt to stop the Vampire. As for the temple being a holy place, well, I can't imagine a N temple to be especially holy and if it is, say the vampire sort of neutralized the effect with a spell from a priest or he has an item which protects against that. Temples are not the only sort of place a Vampire could have. Leader of a noble house, guild house, merchant house, gambling house, or virtually any other middle-class establishment which would bring in people as well as allow for the vampire to legitimately bring in guards to protect him as if he was just a regular business owner.
