It would be easier to add a new tier of were-beasts (same graphic, just tougher) than it would be to introduce vampires. I could see how vampires could get dove-tailed in (new dungeon, with were-beasts and vampires, vampire king?), but it seems more work than tossing in a creature with more stats. Werewolf rumor boss would be nice too.
That story arc has yet to be flushed out so plenty of room to to speculate. He does have a large castle and a dark reputation.A Shady Traveler":2z21uaws said:And I bet Baron Storme doesn't like garlic or sunlight

Easy distinction: were-beasts are living. Vampires are un-dead. Totally different mythos.
