&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;{{tocright}}&lt;br /&gt;
{{otheruses|the playable race in Hack&amp;#039;EM|the race in other variants|Vampire (starting race)}}&lt;br /&gt;
{{for|other instances of the term|Vampire (disambiguation)}}&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Vampires&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; are one of the playable [[race]]s available to a [[hero]] in [[Hack&amp;#039;EM]]. A vampire hero is part of the [[Vampire (monster class)|vampire]] [[monster class]], and will appear as {{white|V}} if the &amp;lt;tt&amp;gt;[[showrace]]&amp;lt;/tt&amp;gt; option is set on.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Vampires can start as [[neutral]] or [[chaotic]] in alignment (or [[unaligned]] if playing as an Infidel), and can be played as [[Archeologist/Hack&amp;#039;EM|Archeologists]], [[Barbarian/Hack&amp;#039;EM|Barbarians]], [[Convict/Hack&amp;#039;EM|Convicts]], [[Ice Mage/Hack&amp;#039;EM|Ice Mages]], [[Knight/Hack&amp;#039;EM|Dark Knights]], [[Necromancer/Hack&amp;#039;EM|Necromancers]], [[Pirate/Hack&amp;#039;EM|Pirates]], [[Rogue/Hack&amp;#039;EM|Rogues]], [[Undead Slayer/Hack&amp;#039;EM|Undead Slayers]], or [[Wizard/Hack&amp;#039;EM|Wizards]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The vampire hero of Hack&amp;#039;EM predates [[Vampire (starting race in EvilHack)|their inclusion in EvilHack]], so each variant&amp;#039;s implementation will not share as many traits between them as may be expected.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Racial benefits and restrictions==&lt;br /&gt;
Vampire heroes are [[undead]] that have many of the same traits as monster [[vampire]]s in &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[NetHack]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, which retain most of their traits for [[Vampire (Hack&amp;#039;EM)|their appearance in Hack&amp;#039;EM]]&amp;amp;mdash;rather than making changes to the base vampire monster as in many other &amp;#039;&amp;#039;NetHack&amp;#039;&amp;#039; [[variant]]s, Hack&amp;#039;EM creates a new monster known as the [[Vampiric (monster)|vampiric]] that serves as the base monster for vampire heroes and any vampire [[racial monster]]s.&lt;br /&gt;
