    Default Half-vampire or Vampire Optimization

    So, a game I'd like to join will probably have 2 free LA. After thinking about it for awhile, I decided I'd like to try a half-vampire. I haven't decided on a class, in fact I don't really have a role that I'd go for yet.

    Role: I think the party will still need some stealth, it has one possible caster, a Dread Necromancer. Someone wants to play a death knight. It also has a few melee people. Anyway, I'm up for suggestions on a class/role. I don't need a full build. Just the important details.

    Possible Stats:

    Necropolitan Half-Vampire Air Goblin (Petition to have blood drain last Cha # rounds)
    Gb +4 Dex -2 Str -2 Con
    HV +2 Str +2 Dex +2 Cha
    NP No Con
    __________________
    +6 Dex +2 Cha

    Necropolitan Half-Vampire Grey Elf(Petition to have blood drain last Cha # rounds)
    GE -2 Str +2 Dex -2 Con +2 Int
    HV +2 Str +2 Dex +2 Cha
    NP No Con
    __________________________
    +4 Dex +2 Cha +2 Int

    Would it be worth it to go full vampire? If I did, how could I survive as a monster with about 1 class level?

    Yes, I know that RAW, the Undead half vampire can't blood drain at all. I'm going to politely ask that it can be based on a different stat. The concept of a half-vampire becoming undead to relate more to his dad amuses me.

    So, suggestions?

    I may be completely mistaken, but I recall somewhere that is a monster's abilities are based off of constitution, and they no longer have that stat, it defaults to Charisma. Or, it might have just been a specific instance; and my suggestion is worthless. :) Either way, give it a go.

    I have an inkling about that as well, but I assumed it was just the unholy toughness rules. I'll check the description of the undead type..

    Edit:It only says Cha for Concentration.

    But if it is true, suggestions?
