We'll keep a close look at how he performs in the real world and we can always readjust if necessary.

The 2nd ability, however, puzzles me. It has Nahiri syndrome, in that it's so inferior to abilities 1 and 3 that you won't wind up using it. It would have been nice to generate vampire tokens or something instead.

The only tweaks I see potentially being made are shifting around Ability 2 to something more useful, and re-costing ability 3 so you can start bringing the pain just a bit earlier.
