GURPS Vampires

This is a fan created (non-conanal) houserule.

GURPS Vampires is "An alternate set of rules for vampires in a GURPS game."

Comments

"These are rules for a specific class of Vampires in a GURPS Game. They focus on only one “flavor” of these mythical creatures, particularly those pertaining the more usual vampires found in Bram Stoker’s book or modern folklore." But the 4e Basic Set already has a Vampire (Meta-Trait) which is described as "a “Bram Stoker”-style vampire. It possesses some, but not all, of the powers and weaknesses that fiction ascribes to bloodsucking undead. Notably, horror-movie vampires often have Supernatural Durability instead of Unkillable (increases cost by 100 points)"

"They were designed to allow some flexibility in powers, thus explaining why there are so many different “types” of vampires around, but not as a final compendium." Given the existing Vampire Meta-Trait the questions of 'how does that not meet this goal?' comes up along with a 'why does this exist?' feeling.

More over these are not rules per say but the way the advantages and disadvantages with the relevant enhancements and limitations would work.

A vampire template is provided but it doesn't follow the "standard" format seen in the Basic Set and other books making it hard to read. In the "standard" format it looks like this (factions are rounded per the rules ie advantages up disadvantages down):
