Hillary is Elemental, Bernie is Dhampir..I voted Hillary.
All of the options have the potential for multiple sub-classes. I'm not a backer but if I was I'd vote for Dhampir.
The other two otions seem somewhat cliche to me, and they're too similar to what's been done before in D&D and PoE.
Quite frankly, I'm shocked by the results so far. I guess the majority actually prefers derivative ideas.
Really? Vampires are truly the most cliche of all at the moment. So tired of them.
Seems like a fairly minor thing - how much will the game change depending on your race? It can't be too dramatic, otherwise it would be unbalanced. I remember in D&D you had a levelling penalty if you played a more exotic race…wonder if they'll do the same or whether the changes will be cosmetic (and perhaps just limited to how other characters react to you)?
Who plays an elf because they have a dex bonus and are resistant to charm?
Pathfinder removed level penalty because all races in PF get more bonuses so the bonuses that for example Aasimar got in 3.5e D&D is what all races get in PF.Seems like a fairly minor thing - how much will the game change depending on your race?

I think the vast majority play elves because they are thin, beautiful, magical beings.
I didn't vote because I won't play the game, but I played an Aasimar in NWN2.
The half-vampire could be interesting. If you ever saw the movie Byzantium, the vampires were never described as such - they were human in most ways, except they didn't age, and they needed blood. One was good, and tried to only feed on the old and sick, as a way of gentle euthanasia. Something like that could have some great possibilities.
were they sparkly vampires? If not, they don't count!
