I have bought all RMU books but Creatures Law is still not available.
With the help of 'RMU NPC' software I can easily create bandit and other 'mundane' antagonist.
But i want some low level vampires.
A group of urban rogues vampirized by an old vampire lord in order to serve him as cannon fodder.

How can I make them more resistant than ordinary bandits?
Some sort of regeneration? (they could heal 4 hp/round)

Other suggestion?
Sunlight sensitivity?

Creature Law is available in the beta version you can download from these forums, if that helps.

This is my cut down template for vampires:
Attack: Leech, blood III [15 hits, -10]
Defence: Abomination. Regeneration, magical [1 H/ rnd, 10 min.]. Proof, critical, no bleed. Proof, critical, no stun. Sun susceptibility II [E]. Proof, critical, critical reduction I.
Form: Body: dead flesh [1]. Lifeless. Breathing, no.
Miscellaneous: Type, undead V. Diet, sanguinivore. Eternal hunger [Blood, 1 day]. Reproduction, magical.  No reflection.  Nocturnality -50 to actions during daylight hours.
Senses: Special: life sense II [10'R/ lvl]. Sensitivity: Light sensitivity II [-50]. Dead sense deprivement. Vision: Pentachromatic (Infra vision) [50'].  Innate PP XV [15 PP].

They are pretty nasty...

Very good for a typical vampire.
In my setting vampires become 'more vampires' with time. (lot of time: centuries or millennia)
A young vampire is just an ordinary human but stronger, with regeneration, sunlight sensitivity and addicted to blood consumption.
(moreover even young vampires do not die of old age)

That would make it easier to handle PCs, since you could make them purchase the talents gradually as they advance, reflecting their increased mastery of their changing form.
