# Dhampir
The Dhampir are a tragic union of humanoid mortality and vampiric undeath. The potential bloodlust generated from such an asyncretic union manifests itself within the half-vampire spawn in the form of a curse: consume the blood of humankin or perish slowly and painfully.

### Horrors of Undeath
Mortals who observe the deadly sharp fangs of a Dhampir recognize immediately the danger such an entity imposes. The legends of the dreaded vampire are commonplace in most societies and as such discovered Dhampir are normally expelled from humanoid settlements or even executed in some places. Careless Dhampir are usually killed, but some escape childhood through sharp wit or brutish action. Harsh treatment from mortals, however, sometimes foster Dhampir who despise humanoids for their ignorance and quick-to-violence mindset.

### Ageless Vampire-Spawn
Dhampir inherited the same ageless nature as their undead parent and, as immortals, are faced with the problem of finding something to do for a indefinite amount of time. Some Dhampir follow in the footsteps of their vampire half and establish themselves over a domain while others may seek knowledge attainable only through countless centuries of extensive study. Such is the life of an immortal: full of opportunity but wracked with boredom.

### Diplomat or Dread-King
Dhampir fall into two categories dependent on their bloodline: Feralblood or Nobleblood Dhampir. The Feralblood lend themselves toward savage attack and brute force while the Nobleblood normally become accomplished diplomats, speakers, or socialites. While blood does not denote destiny, it certainly manipulates it.

### Dhampir Appearance
Dhampir appear similar to a human or elf: tall and svelte of build, most bearing dark hair and fair skin, but a few key elements expose the undead nature of the half-vampire. Two fangs protrude from the top of the mouth which are used to extract blood from a target, their skin is cold to the touch, and the pupils of Dhampir eyes are either crimson (feralblood) or slightly gray (nobleblood) as a result from their undeath.

### Dhampir Names
Dhampir, being born of a humanoid and a sentient undead, are given names similar to their parents' race(s). If a human vampire and a human mortal should create a Dhampir, the Dhampir will likely have a human name. Should a couple form, such as an elvish vampire and human mortal, then the Dhampir is given a name fitting of such a union.

# Dhampir Racial Feats

### Bloodfrenzy
*Prerequisite: Feralblood Dhampir*

You can smell death as it approaches. When a hostile humanoid with blood you can see is reduced to at least half of its maximum hit points, you can use a reaction to enter into a bloodfrenzy for 1 minute. While in a bloodfrenzy you gain the following benefits. Additionally, while in a bloodfrenzy you must use your action to attack, disrupt, or otherwise harm a bloodied creature. If there is no bloodied creature you are aware of, you immediately end bloodfrenzy. You can't use this feature again until you take a long rest.

- You have advantage on all weapon attack rolls made against bloodied humanoids.
- You have advantage on all Strength checks and saving throws.
- You can use Crimson Delight an unlimited number of times while in a bloodfrenzy.

### Clinging Bat
*Prerequisit: Dhampir*

You are always under the effects of the *Spider Climb* spell.

### Misty Escape
*Prerequisite: Dhampir*

Increase your Constitution score by 1.

When you drop to 0 hit points but are not killed outright, you can choose to not fall unconscious and instead polymorph into a cloud of vampiric mist until the end of your next turn. While in mist form, you are immune to all conditions and damage, have a fly speed of 15 feet, and can only take the dash action. Additionally, you are extremely susceptible to wind; you automatically fail any saving throws that would be made to resist strong gusts of wind such as that from the *Gust of Wind* spell. You can't use this feature again until you finish a long rest.

### Vampiric Arcana
*Prerequsite: Nobleblood Dhampir and level 5*

Your bloodline carries with it innate arcane power. You learn the *Chill Touch* cantrip and can cast it at will. Additionally, you learn the *Fog Cloud* and *Vampiric Touch* spells and can cast each once before taking a short or long rest. Intelligence or Charisma (your choice) is your spellcasting ability for these spells.

### Of Fur and Flight
*Prerequisite: Dhampir*

As an action, you can cast the *polymorph* spell but can only turn yourself into a tiny bat. Charisma is your spellcasting ability for this spell. While in bat form you maintain your Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma ability scores. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier before taking a long rest.
