Or if you can find one of the books quickly, as they won't attack you if you're a necromancer either.

Incidentally: I tracked down and slew a vampire posing as the lord of a human civ and then I drank the blood on my weapon and nothing happened. Do you have to be bitten? Do you have to be the same race?

From other posts I've gathered that you should try drinking the blood multiple times until you're infected.

Will do. Is there an easy way to track down necromancer towers?

Usually I export the world map during gen or in legends mode, since they're really visible even at that level. They're huge purple *I*s.

also to become a full vampire you must go near someone sleeping (unconscious) and press "e" you'll get a new option "feed on insertnamehere" and THEN you become a vampire (you will literally grow fangs)

154. When you get the word "adamantine" on your LA vocab, you quickly cross it out and replace it with "cotton candy" and spend the next 10 minutes in fetal position rocking back and forth in fear. (Yes, I actually did this.)
...Wait. Adamantine is real?...

Well, kinda.  If you look in legends mode, you'll see something like "(YOURNAME) consumed the tainted blood of the vampire, and was cursed."  You immediately become a vampire upon drinking the blood, but it won't show up in your name and you won't see any visible signs until you drink someone's blood.  Even that will wear off after a while, presumably so that you can go back to blending in, though villagers don't seem to mind adventurer vampires at all.  Oddly, I've noticed that after drinking blood, for the next day or so I'll intermittently go into "vampire mode" again.

I don't think elves can become necromancers. I cleared out a whole tower by throwing stones and I read the slab, still no necromancy powers. It's a shame, I wanted to go across the countryside with undead giant thrips and thrip men.

Elves can't be necromancers it would be like bringing an shepherd's pie to life for them.
As in they eat corpses so they won't have enough interest to go out and raise one from the dead.
But good news you could hire a necro to do that for you since your too down with nature and corpse hungry to do such a thing.
Just make sure you don't go and naw on the corpses while he rezing them.

Yes.

And it is glorious.

It seems very dwarven to use the hell itself as a garbage disposal. I can just see this isolated pile of goblin clothing, rotten food, and chunks of animals sitting there in a featureless plain, slowly cooking in the heat as demons pick at it.

Does being a vampire give you any needs, though? Do you need to feed like motals need to eat and drink?

EDIT: Could you also be a werecreature, necromancer, AND vampire ALL AT ONCE?
