Dhampir
   Dhampir are the progeny of vampires and mortals, with the
undying beauty and grace of vampires and the chaotic
mindset and free will of the living, Dhampir’s are seen as
omens and plagues upon civilization, forced to live in
isolation if not immediately burned at the stake.
Driven by their cold instincts and inhuman strength,
Dhampir recieve looks of damnation throughout the material
plane, causing many Dhampir hold intense grudges toward
the living, doing everything in their power to become the
undoing of civilization.

Ill-Begotten Fate
   It is rarely the case that a dhampir is created by accident,
rather, a powerful vampire will charm a pregnant woman and
feed her their blood, in turn creating progeny that can walk
amongst daylight. It is not uncommon for a Dhampir's
vampiric progenitor to manipulate and twist the heart of their
child, setting them forward on a path toward fulfilling the
vampire's machinations.
However, not all Dhampirs suffer this fate. An unsuspecting
vampire may infect a pregnant mortal, causing their child to
become a Dhampir. Or, in rare cases, enthralled mortals may
break their chains of captivity, finding way to perform holy
rituals before the infant's birth, strengthening the child's
bond toward life and love.
Regardless of their origin, Dhampirs tend to have a strange
relationship with death. Though they may not be truly
undead, they share an unnatural fortitude with their vampire
progenitors.

Physical Appearance
    Dhampir, while typically the off-spring between vampire
and human, and thus overtly human appearances, is not
unknown to have ancestry of other mortal races. As a
baseline, they have long, sharp fangs, ashen skin, gem-
coloured eyes, and a menacing gaze.
Elven off-spring are known to have long, pointed ears,
while dragonborn off-spring have blood-red scales adorning
their body. Tiefling off-spring maintain a similarly blood-red
skin tone and claws as sharp as their fangs, while aasimar
off-spring have a unique ink black or snow white skin tone
with ethereal blood occassionally dripping from their halo.

Dhampir Names
    Depending on how a Dhampir is raised, either with a
tyranical vampire parent, or a loving mortal mother, the
names given to them differ. Such a vampire may, on a whim,
just assign the name of the nearest object and be done with
the matter, while a loving mortal parent would give one
according to their culture and homeland.

Age. Dhampir age as typical of their mortal ancestry,
however once adulthood is reached, they then show no visible
signs of age until death. It is unknown how long Dhampir
naturally live, however some speculate over a millenia.
Alignment. Much like humans, Dhampir are typically
influenced by their upbringing yet, due to the discrimination
against their race and the less-than-good tendencies
inheriteted from their vampiric bloodline, most repress
themselves into neutrality at best, and evilness at worst. A
dhampir is, however, fully capable of holding a good
alignment.
Size. Dhampir are of the same stature as humans, though
typically lighter in weight. Your size is Medium.
Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.
Darkvision. Your vampiric ancestry has gifted you superior
vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light
within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness
as if it were dim light. You can’t discern color in darkness,
only shades of grey.
Vampiric Resilience. You have resistance to necrotic
damage.
Fanged. Your fangs are a natural weapon, which you can
use to make unarmed strikes against a willing creature or a
creature that’s grappled by you, incapacitated or restrained. If
you hit with it, you deal damage equal to 1 piercing damage +
1d4 necrotic damage.
As part of an unarmed strike made with your fangs, you
can drink blood from your target if it has blood and isn't a
construct or undead, gaining temporary hit points equal to
the necrotic damage dealt. If you fail to consume at least 1
liter of blood during a day, you gain a level of exhaustion and
cannot benefit from your Vampiric Resilience trait except
through magic or drinking at least 1 liter of blood.
Languages. You speak, read, and write Common and one
language of your choice.
Rules Tip
    1 liter of blood for a Dhampir character can be considered 3
Fanged unarmed strikes against small creatures, 2 against
medium creatures and 1 against Large and bigger creatures.
Additionally, a Dhampir character that consumes 1 liter of
blood is considered to have met their daily need of food and
water.

charm and beautiful appearances of their vampiric bloodline.
Noble-Blood are typically seen in larger cities, living without

predatory traits of their vampiric bloodline, from increased
power and sharper instincts to longer fangs, blood-red eyes,
and ghastly-pale skin.

less civilized society, choosing rather to stay amongst
wildness or as arms-for-hire in local wars.

Killer’s Instinct. You have proficiency in the Insight skill.
Sharpened Fangs. Your fangs are longer and sharper than
your Dhampir brethren; when you use your Fanged trait and

traits and attributes of their elven heritage; they are similar to

instead tend toward living amongst the wilderness.

appearance causes all to become wary.

Fanged trait and hit with the unarmed strike while the flames
are present, you deal an additional 1d4 fire damage.

Imposing Roar. As an action, you roar loudly, forcing each
creature within 10 feet of you to make a Wisdom saving

the end of your next turn.
Once you use this trait, you cannot do so again until you
finish a long rest.
Elysian-Blood
   Elysian-Blood are Dhampirs with the paradoxical mix of
celestial and vampiric heritage; many of this ancestry tend
feel at odds with their near-dual personality, constantly
pulling them to both good acts and evil acts. Elysian-Blood
are said to be as beautiful as Noble-Blood, yet with a ghastly,
vacant aura.

1.

          Racial Feats
If your DM allows the optional feats rule from Chapter 6 of
the Player's Handbook, your Dhampir character has access
to the following feats.
Sire
Prerequisite: Dhampir, level 8+
Your control over life and death expands, allowing you to
raise undead servants.
   When you use your Fang trait and hit with the unarmed
strike, you can inject a sliver of your soul into your target,
marking them with your vampirism. If a creature marked
in this way dies within a minute of being marked, it raises
as a zombie during the following midnight, as if it were
raised by the animate dead spell.
You can only create one zombie at a time with this
feature, and a zombie created in this way remains under
your control for 24 hours after being raised, after which it
stops obeying any command you’ve given it.
Vampiric Charm
Prerequisite: Dhampir, level 4+
Your unnatural charms allow you to compell a creature into
doing your bidding.
As an action, you can target one humanoid you can see
within 30 feet. If the target can see you, it must succeed a
Wisdom saving throw (DC 8+ your proficiency bonus +
your Charisma modifier) or be charmed for one minute.
The charmed target regards you as a trusted friend to be
heeded and protected. Although the target isn't under your
direct control, it takes your requests or actions in the most
favorable way possible, and it is a willing target for your
Fanged unarmed strike.
