Vampires[edit]

Vampires are undead creatures that use their fangs to feast on the blood of the living. Vampires can either be born through the coupling of two vampires or made by being bitten by another vampire. They hate sunlight and cannot function properly when around it. Under cover of darkness however, the vampires gain many traits and should not be underestimated.

Personality[edit]

Vampires tend to be very solitary, unless in the company of other vampires. They can work with the living if they need to. They may be accustomed to the finer things in life but coming from an old-world, they are a bit out of touch with society and modern tendencies. They are ambitious, snob and also quite foul-mouthed and act like everyone, humans, elves, dwarves etc are their vassals and nothing more. Their favourite hobbies are manipulating the mortals, planning world domination and dancing.

Physical Description[edit]

Vampires look the same as they did in life, but have greyish-white skin and glowy eyes.

Relations[edit]

Very few races can get along well with a vampire.

Alignment[edit]

Any non-good

Regions[edit]

Any region that can sustain life, though most stick to caves and dungeons waiting for prey or live in an old haunted mansion. Vampires will also be found in many large cities.

Religion[edit]

Vampires dont have an organized religion, though most worship a deity of the night, or an exceptionally powerful vampire, some of them tend to worship Wee Jas or Vecna.

Language[edit]

You can speak, read, and write Common, as well as one extra language of your choice. The Vampire also retains the languages he knew in life.

Names[edit]

Vampires have no set general name, a vampire's name is usually the name he/she had in life, but they do prefer to change their name into something more Count/Countess like to match their elegant ego.

Racial Traits[edit]

  • A Vampire needs to fulfill his thirst by sucking blood from a mortal's neck every 24 hours, or else he is going to have a penalty which will effect his armor class reducing it by 2, his base land speed reducing it by 10 and his attack roll reducing it by 2. If the vampire doesn't suck any blood for 10 days in a row he will die.
