Consider our Vampire Paladin build for Oblivion Remastered, a powerful fusion of undying might, Destruction magic, and deadly stealth.
Vampirism in Oblivion Remastered is an affliction that can provide several powerful buffs to your character, as well as strong roleplaying (RP) potential. As you might expect, the condition also comes with several major downsides, chief among which are taking damage in the sun past 25% vampirism and a vulnerability to fire damage.
When it comes to creating a build around a vampire character, nearly any playstyle will benefit from the buffs. However, since vampirism buffs nearly all types of magic alongside the Willpower attribute, its potential is wasted on a non-magic build. Strength and Speed are also buffed, making vampires deadly in close quarters. Therefore, the class that can benefit the most from vampirism while simultaneously shoring up its weakness is the Vampire Paladin, our spin on the Crusader class.

Role Playing in Oblivion Remastered
The irony of a vampire paladin is not lost on us, but consider it a feature rather than a contradiction. Yes, a vampire and a paladin are typically at opposite ends of the morality spectrum. But consider, if you will, a righteous paladin who single-handedly purges a vampire cave. However, in his fervor, he does not notice the Porphyric Hemophilia creeping in as a result of the wounds dealt by the foul creatures. Three days later, he turns into a vampire and finds himself at the mercy of a ravenous thirst for blood.
As the paladin struggles with the temptation to bite the neck of every beggar he finds sleeping in the street, he also discovers tremendous power surging through his veins. He can see in the dark, wield a new array of spells, and move like a darting shadow. Now, surrounded by a darkness deeper than any he has ever known, the paladin vacillates between abstaining from feeding to follow his righteous oath and satiating his thirst to serve the Nine better.
Becoming a Vampire in Oblivion Remastered
The quickest way to become a vampire is to fight one and contract Porphyric Hemophilia. Three days after being afflicted, you will turn into a vampire. You can find vampires in the Memorial Cave southeast of the Imperial City by the lake’s outer shore.
Feeding will bring you down to 25% vampirism, which allows you to walk in the sun. With each day that you go without feeding, vampirism will continue to increase by 25%, introducing damage from the sun and increasing vulnerability to fire damage. At the same time, your skill and attribute bonuses will also improve.
Staying at 25% vampirism is the most convenient, as you can function normally while receiving decent buffs. Feed every day to stay at this level, or travel at night for 50% vampirism or higher. This is where the Crusader’s Restoration capabilities come in, as a regeneration spell can essentially counteract constant damage done by the sun. Join the Mages Guild to buy new spells from their vendors and to have a free feeding area at night. The Dark Brotherhood is an option if you want to RP as an Oathbreaker Paladin.
Playstyle of Oblivion Remastered
A focus on Heavy Armor, Block, Endurance, Strength, and Blade will make you a powerhouse in close combat who can take immense punishment. Restoration spells and buffs will further increase your durability. Cast Destruction and weakness spells frequently to take advantage of your fast Magicka regeneration and overwhelm enemies. Make use of Illusion spells like Invisibility and Chameleon to play into the stealthy nature of the vampire.
