Merge DD and Vampire

This was already hinted at in another thread, but I'm going to post it as a separate topic. I don't dare put this in GDD, though, at least not yet :)
The interesting part of DD is no heal. The interesting part of Vampire is the bloodless part. So let's combine these into one.
Mountain Dwarves haven been buried for a long time. Now they are returning from death as Evil Mountain Dwarves! (That's _three_ birds with one stone.)
EMDs are like bloodless vampires (vampire apts, especially the +5 stealth must stay, maybe improve Axes though), except they don't gain nutrition by biting, they drain life instead. This drain life ability is the only way to gain HP for them. Potions of blood no longer exist.
