Vampire

Creature of the Night

Vampires are known by many names: freaks, midians, nightbreeds. Despite being an endangered species for all intents and purposes, technically anyone could become a vampire so long as they lose everything and commit the ultimate sin; reject their humanity and consume the raw essence of another.

Undead Nature

At 1st level, life leaves you, replaced with something unnatural. You gain resistance to poison and necrotic damage, you no longer need to breathe, you no longer age, and your type becomes Undead. Additionally, consuming one liter of blood from an aberration, fiend, or humanoid fulfills your need to eat and drink for seven days, and is the only way you can fulfill these needs.

Vampiric Weaknesses

At 1st level, your newfound strength comes at a cost. You gain the following weaknesses:

Harmed by Running Water. You take 20 acid damage when you end your turn in running water.

Stake to the Heart. You are destroyed if a piercing weapon is driven into your heart while you are incapacitated.

Sunlight Hypersensitivity. You take 20 radiant damage when you start your turn in sunlight. While in sunlight, you have disadvantage on attack rolls and ability checks.

Holy Weakness. You are vulnerable to radiant damage and bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage from silvered weapons and magical attacks.

Irredeemable. When you die, you are reduced to a pile of fine gray dust, and can only be restored to life only by means of a true resurrection or a wish spell.

Spirit Points

At 1st level, your inhumanity grants you access to supernatural power. Your access to this power is represented by a number of spirit points. Your vampire level determines the number of points you have, as shown in the Spirit Points column of the Vampire table.

When you spend a spirit point, it is unavailable until you finish a long rest, at the end of which you draw all of your expended power back into yourself.

Some of your vampire features require your target to make a saving throw to resist the feature's effects. The saving throw DC is calculated as follows:

• Your Vampire save DC = 8 + your Charisma modifier + your Proficiency bonus

Vampiric Origin

At 2nd level, you benefit from the specific means that you became vampiric. You gain additional features from your vampiric origin at 7th and 17th levels.

Hematophagy

At 3rd level, your teeth sharpen into conical fangs. Your bite is a natural weapon, which you can use to make unarmed strikes. If you hit with it, you deal piercing damage equal to 1d6 + your Strength or Dexterity modifier, instead of the bludgeoning damage normal for an unarmed strike. You may only attack once with your fanged bite on each of your turns, you can use Dexterity instead of Strength for the attack rolls of your bite, and the target must be a creature that is willing, incapacitated, restrained, or grappled by you and is not a construct or undead.

Additionally, as a bonus action, or at will for 1 spirit point, immediately after you hit a creature with your bite, you may drink half a liter of their blood, and the target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or gain 1 level of exhaustion.

Vampiric Infusion

In your experimentation with your inhuman body, you have developed Vampiric Infusions, unique abilities possible only through vampirism.

At 3rd level, you gain two vampiric infusions of your choice. When you gain certain vampire levels, you gain additional infusions of your choice, as shown in the Infusions Developed column of the Vampire table. A level prerequisite refers to your level in this class.

Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the infusion you know and replace it with another infusion that you could learn at that level.

Ability Score Improvement

When you reach 4th level, and again at 6th, 8th, 12th, 14th, 16th, 19th, 22nd, 24th, 26th, and 29th level, you can increase any score of your choice by 2, or you can increase 2 of them by 1. As normal, you can’t increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

At 21st level, this limit increases to 30, and you can increase any ability score by 1 additional point.

Extra Attack

At 5th level, when you take the attack action, you may attack an additional time. You gain an additional attack at 15th level.

Ghoul Creation

At 7th level, when you reduce a aberration, fiend, or humanoid to 0 hit points with an unarmed strike, you may spend 1 spirit point to instantly kill the target and raise them as a ghoul. Ghouls created in this way are charmed by you, and you may telepathically command your ghouls from any distance. If you issue no command, it spends its turn attacking any creature within reach that has attacked it. If you die, your ghouls instantly die as well.

Unflinching Durability

At 9th level, when you aren't wearing armor, your AC is 10 + your Constitution modifier + your proficiency bonus. You can use this feature to determine your AC if the armor you wear would leave you with a lower AC. Additionally, you are immune to the stunned condition.

Resistant

At 10th level, choose one of the following ability scores. When you are subjected to an effect that allows you to make a saving throw of the chosen ability to take only half damage, you instead take no damage if you succeed on the saving throw, and only half damage if you fail.

• Brawn - Strength
• Evasion - Dexterity
• Endurance - Constitution
• Discernment - Wisdom and Intelligence
• Repulsion - Charisma

Inhuman Strength

At 11th level, you can use Dexterity instead of Strength for the attack and damage rolls of your unarmed strikes, and your unarmed strikes deal 1d6 + your Strength or Dexterity bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage on a hit, and your bite deals 1d12 + your Strength or Dexterity piercing damage on a hit.

Additionally, you count as one size larger when determining your carrying capacity, the weight you can push, drag, or lift, and the largest weapons you can wield and creatures you can grapple.

Regeneration

At 13th level, as an action for 1 spirit point, or as a bonus action for 2 spirit point or as a free action for 3 spirit points, you may piece your body back together, regaining 2d8 + your Constitution modifier.

Unnatural Speed

At 18th level, you as a reaction when you are targeted by an attack and can see the attacker, you may add your Dexterity modifier to your AC. Additionally, you may spend 1 spirit point at will to regain your reaction.

Impenetrable Darkness

At 20th level, you are no longer vulnerable to radiant damage and bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage from silvered weapons and magical attacks, and you are resistant to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage from non-silvered weapons and nonmagical attacks.

Ascended Vampire

At 21st level, you understand the true nature of your being; of blood as a gateway to the soul. When you kill a aberration, fiend, humanoid, or vampire with an unarmed strike, you may consume the creature's soul, causing it to not become a ghoul and granting you one soul. While your number of souls exceeds your Charisma modifier, you lose concentration at the beginning of each of your turns, and you have a -2 penalty to your AC and saving throws.

At will, you may expend one soul to regain 1 spirit point.

As an action, you may expend one soul to create a ghoul anywhere within your reach as per Ghoul Creation without needing to kill a humanoid. You may consume these soul ghouls as a free action, killing it instantly and regaining one soul.

Familiar Creation

At 23rd level, you may reconstitute the entirety of a creature around their soul as your familiar. As an action, you may expend a creature's soul and a number of spirit points equal to its PECR to revive the creature with its maximum hit points and a number of spirit points equal to its PECR. When a creature is revived as a familiar, it is charmed by you and undead, and you may consume it as a free action, killing it instantly and regaining one soul and any spirit points the familiar had.

Dark Composition

At 25th level, and again at 27th, 28th, and 30th level, you gain one of the following:

Rivers of Death

When you create a soul ghoul, you may spend 8 spirit points to create a river of death instead of a ghoul.

Shadow Strength

You count as one size larger when determining your carrying capacity, the weight you can push, drag, or lift, and the largest weapons you can wield and creatures you can grapple.

Shadow Wings

You gain a flying speed equal to your walking speed.

Malleable Form

You are immune to the blinded, deafened, paralyzed, poisoned, and restrained conditions.

Bird of Hermes

At 30th level, when you expend a soul to regain spirit points, you regain 3 instead of 1. When you consume a vampire's soul, you gain any souls they had as well, and you may consume the souls of any creatures killed by the unarmed strikes of your ghouls, soul ghouls, and familiars.

As an action for 3 spirit points, you may completely unveil your dark composition for 1 minute or until you fall unconscious. Until this feature ends, your hit points can not be reduced in any way. Each time you would take damage, you must succeed on a Constitution saving throw with a DC equal to 10 or half the damage you taken, whichever number is higher, or this feature immediately ends.

Vampiric Origins

Real Vampire

You fell from grace and rejected your humanity, or were transformed by the bite of another real vampire as a virgin.

Nosferatu

At 2nd level, whenever you would be reduced to 0 hit points, including when you would be killed instantly, you may expend 1 spirit point to instead drop to 1 hit point.

Third Eye

At 7th level, you may open your third eye as an action for 1 spirit point, or as a bonus action for 2 spirit point or as a free action for 3 spirit points. For 1 minute with concentration, you gain truesight out to a number of feet equal to 5 times your proficiency bonus, and attack rolls you make against targets within this truesight have advantage.

Fledgling Creation

At 7th level, if you use Ghoul Creation and the target is a humanoid and a virgin, they regain 1 hit point and become a fledgling vampire instead of a ghoul. A fledgling immediately gains this class's 1st level and is charmed by you, and you may telepathically communicate with them from any distance.

Superior Regeneration

At 17th level, Regeneration costs 1 fewer spirit points (minimum 1). When you use Regeneration, you may spend 1 additional spirit point to double the hit points regained and cure yourself of any lingering injuries.

Artificial Vampire

You became a vampire not through sin but through science. While the results of artificial vampire experiments are largely considered weaker than real vampires, they come in many more varieties.

Variable Mutation

At 2nd level, you gain one Vampiric Infusion of your choice. Whenever you gain a Vampiric Infusion, you may instead choose one of the following:

Magic Bullet

As an action for 3 spirit point, you may expend a shot with a ranged weapon you are wielding, imbuing the round with vampiric magic for up to 1 minute with concentration. Until this effect ends, the round becomes a Tiny magic bullet with 1 hit point, your AC, and a movement speed equal to the weapon's range. On each of your turns, you can use a bonus action to mentally command your magic bullet, and you can change its movement speed to its long range until the start of your next turn as an action. If you issue no commands, the bullet hangs in the air and does nothing. You lose concentration on this infusion if your turns ends without you being able to see your bullet, or if you make another attack with the same weapon.

The first time your magic bullet passes through a creature or object's space each turn, you may make an attack with the weapon that fired the bullet without expending an action or shots. This attack has a bonus to its attack and damage rolls equal to your Charisma modifier.
