Copy the character to test center (via the help menu), you can then set Tactics to 100 and 120, and see the difference in base damage with your exact weapon and suit setup.

I don't really understand the question on Parry. You put 60 on there but are asking us why? Parry means you get hit less with physical attacks. As far as I can remember the only point of having it at 60 is to get to the 300 skill point mana reduction, while also saving 60 points to put in something else, at the cost of not having Evasion or Counter Attack. Personally I go 100-120 on sampires because I like using Evasion and Counter Attack... and getting hit less obviously.

Regarding Chivalry, same as above with Tactics. The main difference will be damage with Enemy of One.

Neither seem optimal to me in terms of damage or defense.

Curious. Why did you decide to change your paladin in to a sampire? I'm having a blast with mine.

I have a little difficulty with dependence of bandage. if i die. i must to come back to buy bandage.
instead, if i heal with life leech and other ability, i can come back in combat fast.
i can try to build bushido/paladin (all skill to 120), but i dont know if i can resist to all situation only with confidence and close wounds (and life leech).
For you its better Dragoon (bushido paladin) or Sampire?

Difference in base damage. See this reference: Damage Calculations - UOGuide, the Ultima Online Encyclopedia

why 60 parrying? how much is important with this template?
Some people put only 60 on to get the LMC bonus. However, I personally don't find 60 Parry to be all that effective. I usually like to have Parry around atleast 90. I have one character that uses 120 Parry with boosted up DCI through refinements and he does great job avoiding most physical attacks.

120 or 100 Chivalry. whats the diffence in game with monsters?
On my primary sampire, I only run 75-80. I suppose you could run more, but if you're getting Honor, you're probably going to be hitting close to damage cap without Enemy of One so I don't feel the need to have it higher. For my Paladin that doesn't have Bushido... it's another story. I like have 110-120 chivalry on that character.

finally: for you, which you prefer?
I personally don't run Anatomy on my sampire, I prefer Resist Spells for dealing with casters. I also use Capt John's hat for the +20 Swords. (I'm going to put up a post about my template soon because I just revamped my suit and will provide more detail there)

Good luck!

I'm currently running:
100 Swords (120 with Captain John's Hat)
110 Tactics (120 with Solider's Medal)
105 Bushido (120 with jewellery)
100 Parry (120 with jewellery)
120 Anatomy
120 Chivalry
65 Poisoning

The differences between dragoon/sampire are:
The dragoon (usually) needs HLL on every weapon to be as effective. Doesn't have any MR/SR from the form. Doesn't need 25 extra fire resist on the suit. Doesn't need 100 skill points to maintain a form. Doesn't get any poison defense. Doesn't have an issue with garlic in potions.
The sampire needs 25 extra fire resist on the suit. Needs 100 skill points to maintain form. Gets 3 MR/14 SR from form. Gets poison defense. Can't use garlic based potions. Gets true life leech on every hit. Can be purged out of form.

To me it's pretty even pros/cons of each, but I'm preferring the dragoon, the suit is easier to build and allows for a stronger overall template with fewer drawbacks.

- What the difference 100 tactics with 120?

It's about 3% of damage. If you have about 60 base character damage with 100 Tactics it will be 62 with 120 Tactics.

- 120 or 100 Chivalry. whats the diffence in game with monsters?

The difference is important if you are going to use DF for stats (+15 SSI is the most valued).

I have a little difficulty with dependence of bandage.

If you have HLL on your weapon you can do well without bandages.

. i must to come back to buy bandage.

You can use talisman of bandage summoning. It could help you to get back your corpse (and your stack of bandages).

Another option insure two cloaks and a pair of scissors. Cut the cloak up after you die. You have bandages.

Drop anat, get resist.

Can you tell me the skills of your sampire? just for suggestion.
I play often alone and so I like a char with most survivability

Here is my template:

100 Swords (120 with Captain John's Hat)
120 Tactics
120 Bushido
100 Parrying
100 Resisting Spells (115 with jewels)
100 Necromancy
80 Chivalry

For survivability... I am leaching back life from Vamp Form, I use Confidence from Bushido or Close Wounds from Chivalry when necessary. Some of my weapons also have life leach on them, depending on what I am fighting.

another question. which chivalry spells use often in most situation? only close wounds or other "attack spells"?

I have Consecrate Weapon and Divine Fury on macros and use them almost all of the time. Depending what I am fighting, I will use Enemy of One when fighting more difficult monsters or bosses. If I get poisoned, I will use Cleanse by Fire. If I have too many curses on me or other negative buffs, I use Remove Curse. If I am fighting something that can be dispelled, such as if a revenant is following me around, I will cast Dispel Evil to make it go poof. If someone needs to be resurrected, Noble Sacrifice. Be sure to remember that your Karma also affects how useful some of these spells are.

In short, I find myself using just about all of the Chivalry spells in various situations. I find it useful for any melee fighters, archers or throwers.

Impressive... you should be able to do well with that skill setup and be able to tank bosses and do spawns by yourself.

Nice one.

I cannot see town bonus here. Maybe some almost free (cost 4k iron ingots) would be nice addon? I specially like 5% SSI , but there is also nice FC or stat bonuses.

Are you sure? He has 169 STAM and 0 SSI. Even as a Vamp I don't see out healing the damage from some bosses.

I was focused more on the template than gear since it is easier to swap out gear. But ultimately, I always suggest 180 stam at a minimum, with some SSI for stam protection in the event you're not wearing any plate pieces.
