For some reason I wrongly assumed that since in common lore vampires are technically undead you couldn't bleed out. But I was wondering, what about poisons? Would've the snake man venom killed me if not for the bleeding?

Since vampires are for all intents and purposes undead, mortal diseases and poisons will not harm them. I'm not sure about syndromes from forgotten beasts, titans, or demons, but based on how many times I've been covered in their goo and remained unaffected I would say that no, they won't hurt you either.

I have absolutely no idea about evil clouds/rain with harmful effects. I know that a vampire adventurer can become an evil thrall vampire, but since I've had very little real experience with evil dusts outside of that one situation, I can't say for sure whether other evil effects can harm a vampire.

Rotting syndromes can still mess you up as a vampire. I went blind and lost the ability to stand and grasp after a !fun! encounter with a dust spewing forgotten beast. They don't care about numbness and pain, so those syndromes are harmless at least.

But even if you're blind you can still sense blood as a vampire, right?

It's akin to Cog's blind adventure, but with more of an idea where people are and a time limit until you succumb to infection.

If you have the sense creature class ability you can indeed use it when blind, I tested that out before.
