Which class are you trying this with?

[daplunk]

I think i was making a Vampire class.

By that, you mean a class that's added to a vampire in order to add spellcasting? The problem here is that there's not a default spellcasting attribute set for vampires, so when you try to change it, HL throws an error. For what you're trying to do, it would be easier to copy the vampire race, and then set up the spellcasting on the race itself.
