Have you seen the Changeling's racial ability score adjustments? Because they might work better in this case. I mean, many vampires are spellcasters, right? It's something like +2 dexterity or intelligence, +2 charisma. That's the first thing I would consider changing. The rest I'll have to give a think.

Thats my favorite part about 4e. Half-elves, Half-orcs, Drow, Half-vampires are all outcasts. 3 of those races get plus to Cha.

Half-Elves aren't outcasts in a lot of settings, and their stats suggest a highly diplomatic race. Areas with high elf and human populations especially see a lot of half-elves.

You know, revenants (from Dragon magazine) have the undead origin (I think that's what it's called, I'll look it up if you want) that let's them count as both living and undead in any given situation. I think that ability belongs here, too.
