blood!" Today I noticed that he responds differently if your character
is a gnome. He says, "I vill come after a gnome without regret!"
This sounds like it might be a pun, but I'm not too hot on my vampire
literature. Any ideas?

Odd. Shouldn't he rather say, "I vill come after a gnome vithout regret!"?

No clue on this, but I have to wonder if there should be a correction to
the inconsistent nature of his response to gnomes... unless that was
simply a typo on your part, of course.

Further experimenting reveals that Vlad can actually say this to
anyone, with "gnome" replaced by the appropriate character class. It's
just a general alternative to "vant to suck your blood". Still, my
question stands as to whether it's a parody of something.

Indeed. Perhaps he's just been faking the accent for all those years.

Perhaps there are monster types (i.e. not standard character classes)
he von't come after without regret. Perhaps he says something
different to them, or it's a hint to attack him as something he
wouldn't want to bite.
Seems like the hint is a little much, as he's such a pushover anyway...
Just thoughts,

For other interesting responses, chat with him as a baby silver dragon,
vampire lord or shrieker.

Is sounds that way to me too.
A quick (well, extended) google seems to indicate not.
"come after"/"without regret" vlad impaler
"come after" "without regret"
and similar search strings seem to go nowhere.
Neither does grepping the various vampire books I have here.
I think it's from a film.

Well, the source calls them "famous vampire quotes", but there's no
indication where they would be from...

A search of
vampire "without regret"
reveals a couple of quasi-related quotes from the movie Interview with
the Vampire...
Lestat: Evil is a point of view. We are immortal. And what we have
before us are the rich feasts that conscience cannot appreciate and
mortal men cannot know without regret
and
Armand: They had fogotten the first lesson, that we are to be powerful,
beautiful, and without regret.
Louis: And you can teach me this?
Armand: Yes.
Louis: To be without regret?
Armand: Yes.
Louis: Then what a pair we could make, but what if it's a lesson I
don't care to learn.
Armand: What do you mean?
Louis: What if all I have is my suffering, my regret?
Armand: Don't you want to lose it?
Louis: Why? So you can have that too?! The heart that mourns her, her
that you burnt to a cinder.
Armand: Louis, I swear that I...
Louis: Ah, but I know you did. I know. You who regrets nothing, you who
feels nothing, if that's all I have left to learn, I can do that on my
own...and as much as your invitation may appeal to me, I *regretfully*
decline.
Which implies that at least Anne Rice has used this "without regret" as
a theme in vampire literature...

He wants to suck my comestibles? I don't think so, I want to eat those
later.

The code states that further famous vampire quotes may be added,
hence I suspect it's a famous quote we simply don't know due to
our lack of education in the media sciences.

But where there is doubt, there is also IMDB quote search.
