Answered my own question -- there's no journal entry provided and no other indication anything happened, except for a brief popup regarding being infected with a blood disease. After the 72-hour incubation period passes and you become a full-fledged vampire, you get a nice big message about it, but still nothing in the journal. But you get several icons representing the damage from sunlight, stat boosts, etc.

It's probably best to go to the clan's home base when you want to become a vampire. I went to the Sarethi tomb NW of Dagon Fel, just because it's easy to find. Well I find out that they're kind of a small group of separatists of the clan, which means that none of the other clan members elsewhere in Morrowind will have anything to do with me. None of the members of this separatist group offer quests or anything, at least not yet. I assume if I'd gone to a the home base I'd have a little more fun. I could still restore a savegame and go get vamped at a different location.

Man, the stat boosts are Awesome! You think you can run and jump pretty well right now? Try being a vampire! [img]smile.gif[/img] You can fall from (as far as I can tell) ANY height and not get injured. Makes using the Icarian Flight scrolls very easy. And Icarian Flight scrolls are very valuable to have as a vampire, since you cannot use fast travel -- mage guilds won't transport vampires, nor will silt striders or boat captains.

I ran into one amusing loophole. If you run up to an enemy vampire and immediately talk to him, you can take advantage of any training he has. Also using the 'calm humanoid' spell will make an enemy vampire calm down and you can do more training with him if you want. All this even if you're not a vampire or even have the blood disease. I got two or three levelups due to training in a couple skills at one vampire den, before going to the Aundae clan base to get 'infected'.

One important note on the Aundae quest where you have to kill a vampire hunter: make sure it's in broad daylight (yeah, daylight kicks your butt but you have to do it in daylight, like around noon). Also make sure that at least one *resident* is there to see it. Guards witnessing the murder isn't enough. If you don't get a journal update immediately after killing the vampire hunter, then it'll be no good, so try again!
