Back in the days of AD&D, the vampire template affected different races in different ways. They all gained an array of abilities and defenses based on what they were. There was no one template for all. In 3.0, Swords & Sorcery converted some of the Ravenloft monsters, including various vampire templates (elf, dwarf, halfling), but never did the drow. Based on the original creature from the Monstrous Manual, I'm going to try and attempt a conversion.
The style that this is written is based on the Ravenloft vampire templates found in the Ravenloft 3.5 Denizens of Dread book.

Thanks. Hopefully it's something that someone could eventually use. I saw someone Pathfinder update the dwarven one on Tumblr, and I thought this might be cool to do. More so because I found a 2e adventure with a drow vampire as the final BBEG, and I'd love to convert it.
Part of me is a little sad that Ravenloft had all these cool racial variants on the vampire template, and we're only now seeing a couple of them come into play. D&D 3.5 had a couple variants, but not for different races. Just the standard, savage, psychic, and moonlight bane types. The last one I felt the most sad for. Moonlight had the same effect as sunlight, yet the level adjustment never changed if you gave it to a PC. That's just unfair.
I was actually at a used book store right before Christmas last year and found a used copy of the MC for Ravenloft. It had a few of the other types of vampires.
