The Accursed Dhampir

Dhampir

(Half-Vampire)

Also known as a Half-Vampire, the Dhampir is an inherited template that can be added to any living creature that is humanoid or monstrous humanoid. Dhampir are the children of a vampire and a mortal. These creatures are usually evil and are most often raised by their darker parent. The Dhampir are looked down upon by vampires and mortals alike, thus are they exiled from almost all societies. Often power hungry and prideful the Dhampir are found either alone or in a position of unquestioned authority. They are fairly rare as most of them are still born.

Age: once a Dhampir has lived a number of years to be half way between Adulthood and Middle Age they no longer age physically, however as they pass through the age categories of Middle Age, Old, and Venerable their Int, Wis, and Cha still increase. When a Dhampir without the Endurance or Die Hard feat reach Middle Age they gain light sensitivity, when they become Old they will become exhausted if exposed to 1hr of sunlight, and take 1 point of non lethal damage per round of sunlight exposure and when Venerable they can not heal naturally while exposed to sunlight. Those with the Endurance feat never gain light sensitivity, it takes 12 hrs for them to become exhausted, and those with the Die Hard Feat take Non-lethal damage at a rate of 1 per hr.

Size and Type: Sub-type becomes Augmented Humanoid Monstrous Humanoid. Size and BAB, saves, and skill points do not increase.

Hit Dice: Recalculate health using one HD larger to a maximum of d12 this does not affect hit dice from classes.

Speed: remains unchanged.

Attacks: A Dhampir’s natural attacks are treated as Magic for DR purposes.

Drink Blood (Ex): during a grapple a dhampir who pins his foe may deal 1d4 points of constitution damage, by drinking the blood of his opponent. These points are added to can be used to restore points lost to Con burn, drain, and damage.

Blood Dependant (Ex): A Dhampir suffers 1 point of con damage every 24 hrs. If his constitution drops to 2 or lower he falls into a comatose state, called a blood coma. While in a blood coma his con stops dropping but he takes 1 point of lethal damage everyday until his con is restored or he dies. Those with the die hard feat may choose to not succumb to a blood coma, but fall into the blood rage a state where every round he takes 1d12 lethal damage and gains a cumulative +5ft to base movement speed +1 to Attack, Dex, Wis, and Str, during this he must attempt to drink blood until his con score is fully restored. A Dhampir still dies if his hp drops to -10 or if his Con drops to 0.
