Well, what race will you choose?
Vampires traits: night vision, no need to breath, must feed on human/elf blood every week, sun weakens them, wood is deadly, heals fast from any wound that has not been made by a wooden weapon.
Elf traits: expert healers with natural medicines, very sharp hearing, night weakens them, Vampire blood is poison to them, must undergo a ritual every week to restore energy, expert archers, and can enter a "Battle Trance" which is deadly to the user as it rapidly uses life energy.....
Human traits: only race with horses, siege weapons, better fighters in numbers, hard to pierce defenses, and have the cruelest weapons of war (launching diseased bodies via catapults, hot oil, etc)
All have their strengths and their weaknesses.
