vampires = lvl drain = nasty

counter-measures:
descending by usefulness

1.)Mace of disruption +2: immunity from lvl drain and better slaying possibilities

2.)Negative Plane Protection: lvl4 Priest Spell makes you immune to level drain

3.)Amulet of power -> tank - Use it on a cleric or druid with decent THAC0 (i.e. Anomen, Jaheira,...)

4.)Azuredge: mighty against undead and ranged if you want

5.)Sunray: priest spell or equipped on a certain sword makes the undead cry

6.)Mace of disruption +1: no protection from lvl drain but possibility of slaying undead immediately

7.)Use a (very) high lvl cleric to turn undead

8.)Only use ranged weapons when you encounter vampires. Run away with one party member and keep firing with the others

9.)Have very decent AC for your foremost tanks so you don't get hit (=don't get drained) easily and kill the vamps fast.
