Extracting a vampire "template" from DF Monsters
 

The vampire in DF Monsters is a bit bland for a monster type that's often supposed to be a memorable "boss". So I thought it might be worth trying to extract a "template" from the monster write-up. Doing so seems fairly simple—my guess is that the write-up assumes a vampire that had all 12s in attributes in life, and no modifications to the secondary characteristics derived from those attributes. That means the template would give ST +8, Will +3, Per +3, Basic Speed +3.00, and FP N/A, plus all the traits listed under "traits". Though I guess I can see a case for raising or lowering ST by a level. With this you can build villains like the following (shoutout to Gaming Ballistic's Delvers to Grow—this guy was built as a master knight):

Lord Vladimir Drake
ST:22...........HP: 22........Speed: 9.25
DX: 13..........Will: 13......Move: 9
IQ: 10..........Per: 13
HT: 12..........FP: N/A.......SM: 0

Dodge: 15....Block: 15....DR: See notes.

Bite (14): 2d-1 cutting. If this penetrates DR, it drains 3 HP and heals the vampire 1 HP. This drain can be maintained if the vampire grapples the victim, bites, and holds on. Reach C.
Fine Broadsword (16): 4d+2 cutting or 2d+3 impaling. Reach 1.
Mace (15): 4d+3 crushing. Reach 1.
Composite Bow (14): 2d+3 impaling. Ranged, with Acc 3, 1/2D 330, Max 440, Shots 1(2), Bulk ‑7.
Large Knife (13): 3d-2 cutting at reach C, 1 or 1d+2 impaling at reach 1.

Traits: Armor Mastery; Bad Temper (12); Bloodlust (12); Born War-Leader 4; Code of Honor (Chivalry); Combat Reflexes; Enhanced Block 1; High Pain Threshold; Loner (12); No Sense of Humor; Recovery; Shield Wall Training; Vampire Traits.
Skills: Armory (Melee Weapons)-10; Armory (Missile Weapons)-10; Axe/Mace-15; Bow-14; Brawling-14; Broadsword-16; Connoisseur (Weapons)-9; Fast-Draw (Arrow)-14; Knife-13; Leadership-14; Savoir-Faire-10; Shield-16; Strategy-13; Tactics-14; Wrestling-12.
Class: Undead.
Notes: A combination of mail and plates provides DR 5/3 to the arms, legs, and rear torso, as well as DR 10 to the feet, hands, skull, and front torso. Carries a Nordlond-style shield (Delvers to Grow, p. 38) and several weapons, but is strong enough to avoid encumbrance. Truly evil.

FWIW, there's a 125 point vampire template in Pyramid #3/72. Strictly speaking, it's for GURPS DF rather than DFRPG, but at this level of resolution I suspect it doesn't make a lot of difference.

Re: Extracting a vampire "template" from DF Monsters
 

There's also a 60-point vampire racial template in Pyramid #3/50, p. 14.

Re: Extracting a vampire "template" from DF Monsters
 

I make it a practice to make lists of official templates and lenses, and according to that list, these are the available vampire templates ...

Vampire (Discworld Roleplaying Game, p. 109) [107 or 108 points]
Vampire (GURPS Banestorm, p. 201) [100 points]
Vampire (GURPS Fantasy, p. 111) [80 points]
Vampire (GURPS Monster Hunters 1, p. 51) [200 points]

Vampire (Pyramid #3/50, p. 14) [60 points]
Vampire (Pyramid #3/72, p. 25) [125 points]
Vampire (GURPS Basic Set: Characters, p. 262) [150 points]
Vampire, Jiangshi (GURPS Horror, p. 58) [58 points]

Vampire, Lamia (GURPS Horror, p. 66) [408 points]
Vampire, Moroi (GURPS Horror, p. 58) [161 points]
Vampire, Psychic (GURPS Horror, p. 58) [43 points]
Vampire, Romantic (GURPS Horror, p. 65) [252 points]

Vampire, Upurina (GURPS Horror, p. 58) [54 points]
Vampire, Vetala (GURPS Horror, p. 59) [401 points]
Vampire Lord (GURPS Horror, p. 59) [939 points]
Vampire Mage (GURPS Fantasy, p. 112) [135 points]

As one can see from those wildly-varying point totals, there is a LOT of opinion as to what constitutes a "proper" vampire. Making a vampire template just for your game world is a perfectly doable option.

I'm fully aware that GURPS has many existing vampire templates (though I'm impressed by the comprehensiveness of Mysterious Dark Lord v3.2's list). Made this post because I thought it would be interesting to see what sort of vampire Kromm thought was fitting for DFRPG. Oddly, I notice that his vampire write-up doesn't say anything about their need for blood—maybe because Restricted Diet doesn't exist in DFRPG?

Re: Extracting a vampire "template" from DF Monsters
 

Monster Hunters 3: The Enemy has three vampire templates

feral at 443 points
mature at 842
master at 1085

Re: Extracting a vampire "template" from DF Monsters
 

And of course an entire 128 pages book dedicated to them in 3ed, GURPS Blood Types.

All easy to translate to 4ed as always.

Re: Extracting a vampire "template" from DF Monsters
 

There are no templates in Monster Hunters 3. Those are write-up of vampires as monsters.
But they're not written up yet.

The OP wanted to know about an official vampire for DFRPG. But there isn't a vampire template just for DFRPG, it seems.

Re: Extracting a vampire "template" from DF Monsters
 

But they are a full writeup with Attributes, Advantages etc. So you can use them for PCs they just tell you not to in a MH campaign.
