==Encounters==
===Chapter2===
In Chapter 2, when you have collected 15,000 , Valen will appear as a human thief and ask you to meet her mistress, Bodhi.
===Chapter 4===
When you arrive in Brynnlaw during the beginning of Chapter 4, if you sided with the Shadow Thieves, Valen, along with two other vampires named Del and Parisa, will attack the party. Valen can only be struck by +2 or better enchanted weapons, and she is able to attempt a Vampire Domination ability after two rounds of hostilities have elapsed. Defeating Valen will result in 8,500 XP reward but she doesn't permanently die and flees the battlefield in gaseous form.

===Chapter 6===
In Chapter 6 Valen will be in Bodhi's Hideout, along with Hareishan, Meredath, Salia, Tanova, five fledgling vampires, and a vampire guard; all of whom are defending Bodhi's inner sanctum from being accessed by Gorion's Ward and party (and some helpful allies).
This version of Valen is akin to a Fledgling Vampire, who can be struck with normal weapons. She can attempt the Vampire Domination ability after two rounds of hostilities have elapsed, and her melee attack drains 3 experience levels.
==Mod content==
The Sword Coast Stratagems mod with the "Improved Vampires" component revises both vampire appearances of Valen. See the Vampire article and the "Mod content" section for a discussion of the mod's revisions to vampires (including Del) in the game.
The first version of this vampire (PPVALEN.CRE) is a level 11/11 Fighter/Thief with 124 HP, STR 19, DEX 19, CON 18. She has 2.5 Attacks per round, THAC0 5 and -3 Armor Class. A default SCS script is assigned allowing Vampire Domination ability every 2 rounds, and attacks with either a level drain or "Blood Drain" temporarily reducing CON by 3. She can only be struck by +2 or better weapons. She can shape change into bat or wolf form, and summon bats, rats or wolves with the "children of the night" ability.
The second version of this vampire (C6VALEN.CRE) is a level 10/10 Fighter/Thief with 116 HP, STR 19, DEX 19, CON 18. She has 1.5 attacks per round, THAC0 5 and -1 Armor Class. Her melee strike drains 2 experience levels or 3 CON. She also has a different default script, making her akin to an ancient vampire, that has all the abilities of the former version plus the innate Vampire Fear ability and the "Mesmerize" feeblemindedness attack. She will recognize opponents protected from level drain and charm and many other "buffs" for intelligent targeting.
