Darkvision exists in the game. Adding it to a villain is not a New Rule.
Constitution drain exists in the game. Adding it to a villain is not a New Rule.
(Even if your villain's race does not normally have either of these abilities.)
Creating a New Rule requires you to put on your Designer Hat, not the Copy This Text From the SRD Hat. :)
So, given the limited info you've supplied, I think you're fine adding darkvision and Con drain to your villain, and the New Rule is something different.
