Vampire, Stone Mask Variant

Long ago, a race of superhumans walked the land. They were the epitome of life, beautiful, strong, extremely intelligent, but they held two major flaws. They turned to dust in the sun, and their only sustenance was the blood of others. These beings were not vampires, but a separate race known as the pillar-men. One exceptional individual, a man named Kars, crafted a stone mask capable of bringing even a lowly human to their power, though not without the sensitivity to sunlight. These were the first vampires.

Bizarre Creature of the Night

Stone mask vampires differ greatly from their traditional variant. While their teeth are similarly sharp, they instead use their fingers to drink blood, plunging them into the flesh of their victims to connect their veins directly. Their power is sourced from their total control of their bodies, allowing for the incredible feats they enact. This comes at a cost, their life force is used rapidly, requiring the direct consumption of life force through blood. Any disruption caused from a sudden burst of life force, such as from the sun or a ki-wielding martial artist, spells sudden death for a vampire.

When making a vampire character, one of the most important things to know is how you came into contact with the stone mask. Did you somehow stumble across one of the pillar men, and were taken into their ranks? Or perhaps you were simply turned by one of the masks many owners throughout time. Regardless, this origin affects many aspects of your character.

Impenetrable Skin

Starting at 1st level, your skin has become hardened and durable after you have put on the mask. While you are not wearing armor, your AC is equal to 10+ your Constitution and your Charisma modifier.

Your Vampiric Ability DC is 8+your Constitution and your Charisma modifier.

Bladed Fingers

At 1st level, your fingernails become sharp as knives. Your unarmed attacks will now deal 1d6 + your Strength or Dexterity modifier Slashing damage. This damage increases at 5th, 8th, 17th, and 20th level.

At 6th level, your unarmed attacks will also count as magical, for the sake of overcoming resistances.

Vampiric Weakness

You are vulnerable radiant damage but immune against necrotic. If an amount of skin equal to the surface of your head or greater is in direct sunlight, you take 2d6 radiant damage every turn (6 seconds). Creatures attempting to reveal you must use an action to succeed a DC (11+your Dexterity/Strength modifier+your Charisma modifier) Strength or Dexterity check. Recovering yourself requires an action. You no longer age or need to sleep.

Blood Drain

At 2nd level, you no longer benefit from consuming food. Instead, drinking a small or larger creature’s blood gives you 1d6 day’s worth of food per round (6 seconds), but they must be dead or unconscious. Living creature’s are killed after 3 rounds, increasing by one round per size category above small, and dead creatures are considered drained after 5.

At 5th level, you can initiate a Bloody Summoning, draining a prone creature’s blood. They must succeed a Constitution saving throw or be stunned for one turn and become grappled. They must then escape the grapple or be stunned each round.

Regeneration

At 3rd level, your new body has amazing regenerative abilities. As an action, you can regenerate 1d6 hit points or reattach a limb. This can not be done if you took fire or radiant damage the preceding turn. This regeneration increases to 2d6 at 6th level, and may increase for 1d6 for each three levels you gain in this class.

Vampiric Attunement

At 3rd level, you chose in which direction your powers are attuned to. Choose between the plotting Royal, the destructive Warrior, or the unkillable Ancestor attunement, all detailed at the end of the class description. Your attunement grants additional features at 7th, 11th, 15th, and 20th level.

Ability Score Increase

When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

Extra Attack

At 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.

The number of attacks increases to three when you reach 10th level in this class and to four when you reach 15th level in this class.

Space Ripper Stingy Eyes

At 6th, you can fire a beam of pressurized vampiric fluid from your eyes. As an action, every creature in a 60 foot line must succeed a Dexterity saving throw. On a failure, they take xd12 necrotic damage (With x being your proficiency bonus). You can use this twice, regaining one use per round Blood Drain is used. You regain both uses of this feature at the end of either a short or long rest.

Sneak Attack

At 7th level, when you are hidden it's the best moment to attack. When you make an attack with advantage, you will deal an additional 1d4 damage.

This damage increases to 2d4 at 10th level, 3d4 at 13th, 4d4 at 16th, and to 5d4 at 19th.

Terrifying Presence

At 9th level, your mere presence can terrify the weak minded. As an action, you make all creatures who can see or feel your presence make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failure, they become frightened of you for 1 minute, on a sucess they will become immune to this ability for 24 hours. You may do this once per long rest.

This increases to twice at 12th level, and thrice at 16th.

Flesh Bud

At 13th level, as an action, you can non-magically cast Dominate Person as if with a 7th level spell slot. At 18th level, you cast Fear, then Dominate Person, as a single action. You regain use of this feature at the end of a long rest.

For the next 6 seconds (until the end of your next turn), every creature is considered unconscious and paralyzed, and everything is frozen in place. Your falling speed also drops to 0. You can extend the time stop as a bonus action, or stop time again, three times, not including the initial use. You regain all uses of this feature at the end of a long rest.

Master of Manipulation

At 7th level, you can add your proficiency bonus to Acrobatics checks an additional time, and squeeze through spaces as small as 1 inch. When you are reduced to 0 hit points, you become stable, petrified, and immune to the damage type that did so until you regain at least 1 hit point.

You can also weaponize your ribcage. While you are grappling a creature, they take 1d6 + your Strength modifier piercing damage at the end of each of their turns.

Master of Heat

At 11th level, your blood reaches heats of over 500 degrees Celsius. Whenever you take damage, you can make an attack roll as a reaction. Attacking in this manner deals 2d6 fire damage.

You can now shoot your veins out of your body, allowing you to use Blood Drain from up to 15 feet away.

Master of Wind

At 15th level, you can rotate your arms fast enough to create a Divine Sandstorm. As an action, all creatures in a 35ft cone must make a Dexterity check. On a fail, they take 3d12 force damage.

Master of All

At 20th level, you gain the ability to become the ultimate life form. To actually achieve this form, you must spend 250,000 xp, 2,000,000 gold, & 1 year creating the perfect mask required. Once achieved, you are resistant to all damage, except for radiant and necrotic which you are immune to.
