Since my polymorph meme has only garnered three downvotes so far I thought I'd offer a bit more controversial take, and see if I can manage to stir the pot a bit with this one.

I haven’t found a solid contradiction to this plan in the rules-as-written.

If you read Vampiric Touch it's literally in the first sentence:

The touch of your shadow-wreathed hand can siphon life force from others to heal your wounds.

Yeah, that's not exclusionary, nor does it have any bearing on the two sentences necessary for the meme combo. In any other circumstance everyone would rightfully be calling BS on that kind of cherry-picking.

If someone were claiming:

"Well it specifically says favored enemy and you made friends with Bob's Orc character last session, so you no longer have advantage to track him."

or:

“Cavaliers also learn how to guard those in their charge from harm, […]“ You’re not the boss of this noble you’re escorting so you’re Protection reaction doesn’t work to save him.

they would be derisively ignored. And rightly so.

A statement explaining you can use the following ability for this typical use case, does not mean “THIS IS THE ONLY USE FOR THE FOLLOWING ABILITY! THIS USE AND NO OTHER!!“
