Vampires are defined by their fear of sunlight, superhumanoid strength and perception, and shapeshifting power. You know- vampirish stuff.
My ideas for fiend:
-Can detect hidden items and exits
-Can hear nonprivate conversations a few rooms away
-Vampiric hand-to-hand
-Can escape death by turning into a cloud of bats... one of these bats
carries away the fiend's soul to a random place.

Yaaay Bats
Only thing i could add would be a charm person skill called dominate. Vamps ability to charm and impose there will on the weak etc
-
I'd say that the turning to bats thing cannot be used during daylight hours, as well as no use of spells.
And what about something called "Summon minion?" Depending on the level of the fiend casting, it could call a skeleton, zombie, ghoul, wight, or something else like that.

Summon minions sounds like something call familiar should do, when properly fixed that is. 8)

But more specifically, it summons the undead rather than the living :P
