My experiences so far.Vampires are immune to healing spells.They are immune to healing potions(I found this one out and was dissappointed).They can use the Vampires bite attack but it doesn't work, even with the patch it claims that they're out of range (even if you're standing on the monsters heads- I have done this, I know).If they don't make successful attacks they suffer blood starvation and die.Aparently the starvation comes of temporary hit points (ie. Toughen) first.They are also immune to healing scrolls.There are no bonuses (they don't even turn into turquoise skinheads in split-to-the-naval evening gowns,some graphics designer had a twisted immagination).There is virtually no point in becoming a vampire that I am aware of unless you've read Winter Warriors by David Gemmel (old retiring soldiers face ancient vampires who wear black full plate armour to avoid sunlight and do not need to rest).
Oh, and you don't loose any traits or skills, all you're old spells work normally unless they're healing ones in wich case they don't work on you.
