And as I've said twice before, that depends entirely on the theme.  I've read a huge number of vampire stories, and seen a great deal of vampire movies, and the amount of variation is significant.  In some stories, vampires are a race completely separate from humans - you can't even *become* one, you're either born one, or you're not.

There is no universal "right" or "wrong", because vampires are fictitious, and their definition varies from story to story.  If you want to talk about AD&D vampires, then I'd say that they are neither race nor class.  But unless you're talking about specific definitions, you cannot make sweeping generalisations.
