Vampires

Vampires are one of the demonic creatures of the Realms. Being a creature of the undead, they require copious quantities of fresh blood. Instead of using mana, Vampires use blood points (bp) for spell casting. If a Vampire takes a large amount of damage, Blood points will be lost, but, Blood points can give a small surge of hit points (hp) in battle when needed. As undead creatures of the night, Vampires lose blood in daylight (from level 10) and can be burned by the sun. Vampires have access to their own school of magic, 'blood' magic.

You can be infected by vampires with vampirism, if this happens, you can be cured of vampirism by the clerical spell bloodpurge.
