My vampire in divx managed to roll doubles on his second skill. Now I dont know what to take really. He can pick allmost any skill in the game now, so there are too many choices.

Please give suggestions what to take and why...

I chose Stand Firm, although I do not think you would go wrong with Frenzy or Pass either. It just depends on what direction you want to take him. Pass will get him lots of Spps and help him distribute the ball around. Stand Firm is great for risky dodges or even when you need to reach a thrall when OFAB hits. I like frenzy on STR 4 players, but it takes some skill to use effectively.

Vampires need a passer. I'd go Pass.

All those skills are fine especially on a st4 ag4 player. Dump off may be another nice option.
If you are lucky and roll a 2nd double on him stand firm & jump up might be a nice trait combo only vampires can have.

Not sure why he would consider kick on a double roll...?

He can get kick on a regular roll for his vamp and it's "probably" better suited for a thrall anyway.

Take a passing skill. And the others can get traits.

Stand Firm works miracles on both attack and defence, especially since you can take Block/Dodge/Guard on normal rolls. That quartet of skills is one of the best sets in the game.

Jump Up is another interesting choice.

I found jumpup works wonders, took SF on one vamp but that normally ends up with him taking lots of hits.

I would choose Jump Up then Pass. I chose NoS on my first ever vamp double (the guy had ag5), and I figured it'd always be good to pass / catch in a crowd. It never really helped.

Jump Up keeps the guy mobile, whereas Pass you can somewhat get away without (assuming you've got Pro already).

Frenzy for that extra-push and to be the master of the sidelines.
