You don't even need 100 Necro to keep vamp form. My samp has 85 Necro with the gloves on and has no trouble. I cast VE with a scroll and leech without any trouble.
i went to test center and did some testing. Had 2 artys with +35 to necro.
Gave my toon 65.0 in necro. Cast vampiric embrace and took +skill items off. Walked 2 steps and my form went poof with an animation to show it.
Set my skill to 98.0 put my +skill items back. Cast vampiric embrace, then took +skill items off. Walked a couple of steps and the same animation with the lose of form.
Did the same thing again but put my skill at 99.0. When I took my +skill items off and walked. I didn't lose form.
So is the -30 to necromancy on those gloves work correctly?
Atm they dont have to. With 99 real Necro, wearing the gloves, you still keep Vampire form.
Right. Just leave off and cast.
I think this concept was one of the things that changed soul stone use. Players were activating vamp form then replacing necro with another skill.
I don't use a sampire much but I'm OK with how vamp form works because other than corpse skin, a necromancer has pretty weak magic. May as well have some use.
I would expect this to be categorized as a bug, but this is UO, inconsistencies seem to be part of the game whether they should be or not. -I wouldn't be surprised if this gets fixed at some point though.
Remove or change casting focus & poison immunity it reduces the need for "Player Skill" it's garbage. Bring timing back and eliminate chance in pvp!

He just compensated before he needed to.
Or cast with a scroll?
Once you get it, it stays.
Midnight Bracers - 20
Juonar's Grim - 15
Jewelery - 30-40
Trav Mask - 10
Bloodwood Totem - 5
Scabbard - 5
An easy 95 points right there which means you can use a scroll to cast VE.
Confirmed to work.
Sampires who do not want to play a switching items game have 99 Necro. They will have to adjust their necro to compensate for the 30 loss.

As far as i know all other items with +necro skills on them, when taken off removes Vampiric Embrace spell.
