Vampires do increase their stats like other dwarves, so that a weak vampire may be easily upgraded into a mighty one by using them as a miner or easily trained into a legendary swimmer. A vampiric craftsdwarf may be burrow-limited to their workshop plus a stockpile, or a miner restricted to specific mining levels, avoiding any other miners. It will be safe if all of the miners have separate, assigned bedrooms. | Vampires do increase their stats like other dwarves, so that a weak vampire may be easily upgraded into a mighty one by using them as a miner or easily trained into a legendary swimmer.

Another possibility, should you be infested by the [[undead]], is to turn as many of your dwarves into vampires as possible; due to not counting as living by the [OPPOSED_TO_LIFE] token, undead won't attack your vampire dwarves, turning them into minor annoyances. This may result in mass unhappiness from the lack of blood to drink{{verify}}, but it may be preferable to losing the fortress. However, do note that a very long time without sucking blood heavily penalizes their skill rolls, leading to even legendary dwarves rarely or never producing masterworks. | Another possibility, should you be infested by the [[undead]], is to turn as many of your dwarves into vampires as possible; due to not counting as living by the [OPPOSED_TO_LIFE] token, undead won't attack your vampire dwarves, turning them into minor annoyances.
