One of the worst fates, beyond their daily existence, to befall a vampire spawn is to see their sire fall before them, freeing them from their will but also forever denying them the possibility of ascending to become a full vampire, regardless of how many centuries of faithful service they may have put towards that effort. Given that dead end, some such bloodsuckers will turn to abyssal magics for a different sort of metamorphosis. Using a ritual known only to a few Sibriexes and a lot of demonic ichor, a vampire spawn may be transformed into a terrifying new demonic form with none of their former weaknesses save an increased thirst for blood and photosensitivity. All at the low, low cost of eternal servitude to their new fiendish creator and maybe a little bit of sanity. Variant: Blood MagicThanks to the inherent chaos in demonic ichor, some krvavrilo come out of their transfiguration with magical powers. You can give a krvavrilo the Innate Spellcasting feature detailed below and increase its CR to 14 (11500xp). Innate Spellcasting. The demon's spellcasting ability is Charisma (+6 spell attack modifier, spell save DC 14). The demon can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components: At will: chaos bolt, hex, melf's acid arrow, wrathful smite |
