What if, when a vampire bites someone, it didn't do brute damage? Instead, it just sucked up their stamina leaving it at 0 until they got some sugar or something in their system to raise it back up? Make hypnotize last a bit longer, and give the vampire a warning for when the victim is about to wake up.
Instead of explicitly needing to kill people to get maximum blood, a vampire could choose to just stun them, suck up what they need, and disappear into the darkness until they find their next victim. He could still choose to kill them by traditional means, make them into a lesser vampire, or just let them go and spread the fear.
Also, in another thread someone suggested the idea of letting the vampire mark an area as a lair, sorta like how wizards would corrupt the station. A coffin would appear and they could go inside it to recharge their powers. I liked that idea, and with vampire minions around to guard them it makes a bit more sense.
