→Making a Twilight Vampire
Often seen as the weakest of the Dark Others due to their lack of Magical Prowess, Vampires possess powerful abilities that can rival that of any Combat Magician. Where other characters intrude upon the Twilight, the Vampire is a welcome part of it. He can stay in the Twilight Longer, and go deeper into it, than any other class. You may surprise the other Characters in your party when you sink down to the Seventh Level of the Twilight while they're still struggling with the Fourth.
===Making a Twilight Gloom Vampire===
Vampires are the undisputed masters of the TwilightGloom, and their abilities show this. Some Vampires focus entirely on their mastery of the TwilightGloom, while others are happy with their natural abilities, and devote their training into other pursuits.
'''Abilities:''' Constitution, Wisdom, and Charisma are important to the Vampire, as Constitution boosts their hit points and even more resistance to the TwilightGloom. Wisdom allows them to stay in the Twilight Gloom longer, and to resist mind affecting spells, and Charisma powers their Spells and Class abilities.
'''Alignment:''' Any

'''Gloom Feat:''' At levels 2 and 6, a Vampire gains an additional feat. The feat must have the "Gloom" descriptor. '''Night Creature:''' A Vampire treats his Wisdom Bonus as being 2 points higher when determining how many times he can Fail Concentration checks in the TwilightGloom.
