Anyone had a player want to summon a Vampire, then have said vampire turn him into a vampire? The vampire vanishes before the spell ends so would he gain control over the player or would the player become a free-willed vampire. Sadly the player don't care to serve so long as he gets the power.

| I am not aware of a spell that can summon vampires, only vampire spawn can be summoned to do a casters bidding for a few rounds per casting of Summon Undead V. So your player is either cheating unless you are allowing a more powerful Summon Undead spell to be cast than the current limit of summon undead V (PGtF). |

You mean that the vampire vanishes _when_ the spell ends, don't you?
First, I think the player is walking on a thin line there - summoned creatures are not perfectly dominated, they are just compelled to obey their summoner's orders. Given that the relation between master and thrall is a very intimate binding, the vampire in case could be reluctant, and might try to subvert his summoner's commands (f.i. he could suck the PC until his CON hits 1 and then energy-drain him, or along that line).
Another thing that comes to my mind is that even his the PC's plan is successful, then you'll have a vampire dwelling on another plane who is now perfectly aware he has a thrall on the Prime, and will do what he can to take advantage of the PC's servitude.
The point is not that the player don't care to serve - it's that you as a DM should have him learn that serving can spoil the fun of gaming, IMHO.
What about the other players, what do they think?

Bladewind, you are right, but the PC has possibly developed his own Summon Vampire.
