[Dave Bailey] When I was writing a vampiric cult for an old game world we used to run the vampires were newly born with no special abilities other than the prerequisite knowledge required to drain powers. In other words they newly risen vampire can't change to a wolf form but must steal it from a shapechanger (hamster form anybody?), same went for strength, gaseous form and harmonise from Jack'O'Bears. I had a loot of fun 'cause no two vampires had the same powers, there was also interest in importing exotic animals. Anyway how about Hunger - Steal Ability, see advanced magic for extending period and make up some gory details for the subjects death.
