[snip ideas]

If I were designing anti-vampires along those lines, I'd do it like so: 

* +6 St
* Regenerate like a vampire
* Immune to disease (especially the "vampire" disease)
* Vampire's get no benefit from drinking the anti-vampire's blood (I'd drop 
the idea of making the blood toxic or 'curative' to vampires)
* Glow as with a Light spell, always on. (Who needs darkvision?)
* As side effect to the above, cancel Shadow hexes they enter, but take 
damage as if from fire. 
* Compelled to fulfill oaths, keep promises, etc. 

This would produce paladin-ish "soldiers of light" for a mnoren who wanted 
good PR for his stormtroopers. I wouldn't want them in Etan, but then I don't 
have vampires there either. (Or mnoren, for that matter.)
