How about this?

(We'd need a large village) The game starts with four wereorcs and one vampire. The vampire may choose one villager every night to "transform" but only if this transformation will not put the number of vampires over half the number of wereorcs (rounding up)

Effectively, this means that you can only have two vampires, and that only if there are three or four wereorcs.

So, first day we have four wereorcs and one vampire.

Second day I assume it'll be four wereorcs and now two vampires, the vampires can't get anyone else.

Third day the villagers lynch a wereorc, but given the rounding up two vampires are still allowed.

Fourth day the villagers lynch a vampire. Fourth night, the vampire chooses someone else.

Fifth day, the living vampire already choose his next victim, so it's back to three wereorcs and two vampires, but when the day is done the villagers lynch another wereorc. Now the ratio is two-two, so should the villagers get another vampire, the remaining one can't transform anyone else.

BUT.

If the vampire tries to convert a wereorc nothing happens yet both learn each other's identity. If the wereorc decides to attack the vampire, the vampire is kiled.

If the vampire tries to convert a gifted, their role is revealed to the gifted and the fact that the other person was "gifted" is revealed to the vampire, but not what gift he/she has.

Wouldn't the game be over too soon? well, to avoid needing a 30+ village which can get far too hectic, I'd say that the vampire is "smarter" than a wereorc and thus he lets the wereorcs do the dirty job while he kicks back and selects his allies carefully. Once all the wereorcs are dead, and should the vampire still be alive, he starts getting a nightly kill.

Still, we'd need a village of about 20 people for it to work out.... and that's only if you all want to try it out.

Oh, and trying the role of the vampries would mean that we are not doing the Shaman thing.... that way we cah see if a game with vampires is fun or not and on a later day we can do the same experiment for a game with a shaman.
