Dhampirs can choose not to bleed. A Dhampir who takes enough

damage to be in a dying state makes checks to recover but never
loses hit points from failed checks. Even a severely wounded and
unconscious Dhampir will get up and walk away if left alone.
[1st] Ageless: The Dhampir does not appear to age past the
age of 21 and will never die of old age. Furthermore, they
are immune to any time magic or ability used to age them
unnaturally.
Lastly, a Dhampir gains a +4 to all saves made to resist
normal poisons and disease.
[1st] Low-Light Vision: Dhampirs can see twice as well as a
normal human in conditions of poor light. Thus, if the
lighting is such that one can see only 30 feet, a Dhampir can
see 60 feet.
[1st] Blood Drain (Ex): A Dhampir can suck blood from a
living victim with its fangs by making a successful grapple
check. If it pins the foe, it drains blood, dealing 1 point of
Constitution drain each round the pin is maintained.
[10th] Improved Blood Drain (Ex): This ability
increases to 1d4 points of Constitution each round
at 10th Lev.
[2nd] Vampire Disciplines:
Disciplines are special abilities available to Dhampir. Most
Disciplines grant abilities such as controlling mind, growing
claws or blending with the night. The Dhampir must meet
all prerequisites to gain a Discipline.
Disciplines functions the same as Feats and can be
purchased in-lieu-of receiving a new Feat.
[4th], [6th], [8th], [10th], [12th], [14th], [16th],
[18th], & [20th]: The Dhampir may choose another
Discipline every even level.
[2nd] Natural Armor: The base creatures natural armor
bonus improves by +2.
[6th] & [10th] Improved Natural Armor (Ex):
This ability increases by +2 at 6th & 10th Lev.
[2nd] Vitae Pool:
When a Dhampir feeds on blood, within seconds it
transforms into a supernatural substance called Vitae. Vitae
looks, smells and flows like natural blood, but is charged
with supernatural power.
Maximum Vitae: A Dhampir can store Vitae in her
body equal to 10 plus her Constitution modifier; if
she gains excess Vitae, it is wasted. Upon gaining
this ability start with their maximum amount.
Vitae per Round: Dhampirs can spend one Vitae per
round, no matter what effect(s) they want to
achieve. A Dhampir can take the Blood Potency
Discipline to improve this rate.
Feeding on an unwilling target requires the Dhampir to
grapple the victim; once the grapple is established, the
Dhampir
can feed each round as a standard action by making a
successful grapple check. Feeding on a live creature is called
the Kiss, and it is an ecstatic experience for both Dhampir
and victim. Once the Kiss begins, a non-Dhampir target
must make a Will save (DC 10 + the Dhampirs Hit Dice +
the Dhampirs Charisma modifier) or succumb to the
ecstasy
and stop resisting. If the Dhampir is in combat and feeds on
his opponent, the victim never needs to make this Will save
and can resist the Dhampirs attack every round no
matter
how good the Kiss feels, your mortal enemy wont sit back
and let you do it.
[More information on gaining/spending Vitae below]
[3rd] Racial Skill Bonus: Dhampirs have a +2 racial bonus on
Bluff, Perception, Stealth, Spellcraft, Knowledge (Arcana)
and Sense Motive checks.
[9th] & [15th] this ability also increases by +2 at 9th
& 15th Lev.
[4th] Fast Healing (Ex): A Dhampir heals 1 points of damage
each round so long as it has at least 1 hit point. If reduced to
0 hit points in combat, the Dhampir is disabled and can use
its Fast Healing until it is able to rest for 1 hour. It regains 1
hit point after 1 hour, then is no longer disabled and
resumes healing at the rate of 1 hit point per round. Note
that magical healing or spending Vitae can regenerate the
Dhampirs health, but it still can't use Fast Healing until it has
rested for 1 hour.
[8th], [12th], [16th], & [20th] this ability also
increases by +1 every four levels.
[5th] Damage Reduction (Su): A Dhampir has damage
reduction 5/Fire & magic. A Dhampirs natural weapons are
treated as magic weapons for the purpose of overcoming
damage reduction.
 [11th] Improved Damage Reduction (Ex):
This ability increases to 10/Fire & magic at 11th Lev.

[5th] Thaumaturgy
Thaumaturgy is a Vampire Disciplines that focuses on using
Vitae to cast magic. Due to this Dhampirs unique blood
ties, they get additional Thaumaturgy spells.
[8th], [11th], [14th], [17th], [20th], & [20th]: The
Dhampir may choose another Thaumaturgy
Disciplines every 3 levels.

[7th] Negate Vulnerability (Su): The Dhampir can choose

any single Dhampir weakness he normally would have. This
weakness no longer affects him. The Dhampir remains
extremely uncomfortable around his weakness, but it no
longer has any unusual effect on him.

[11th] Energy Drain (Su): Living creatures hit by a Dhampirs

unarmed attack (or any other natural weapon the Dhampir
might possess) gain one negative level. A Dhampir can
choose not to use this ability if desired.
[Negative levels impose a -1 penalty on all attacks, saves,
skill checks, and a loss of spells]
For each negative level bestowed, the Dhampir gains 5
temporary hit points. A Dhampir can use its energy drain
ability once every 5 rounds.
Creatures that are slain through negative levels have a 50%
chance as returning as an undead.
[17th] Improved Energy Drain (Ex): This ability
increases to imposing two negative levels and can
be used every round.

[13th] Resistances (Ex): A Dhampir has resistance to cold

and electricity 5.
[18th] Improved Resistance: This ability increases
to resistance cold & electricity 10 at 13th Lev.

[19th] Spell/Power Resistance: The Dhampir gains spell

resistance and power resistance equal to his HD level.
 VITAE RULES
If Vitae leaves a Dhampirs body and is exposed
to air, the Vitae reverts to normal blood within a few
minutes.
(Scientifi c analysis on reverted Vitae reveals it to be a
mixture of
blood from many sources, with some of the cells broken
down.)
Some Dhampirs and mages know how to preserve Vitae
outside
the body, and even reverted Vitae retains a mystical
connection
to its Dhampir.
Dhampirs use Vitae to maintain their altered existence and
to fuel their supernatural powers. When a Dhampir uses
Vitae,
it physically affects him in a slight way he grows paler, his
skin tightens or he seems to shrink or wither, looking less
alive.
Feeding on the blood of others allows a Dhampir to
maintain
a normal appearance, though normal varies from
Dhampir to
Dhampir.
Spending Vitae, for whatever purpose, does not take an
action. Certain Disciplines take a standard action to activate
and require the Dhampir to spend a point of Vitae, but the
expenditure
of Vitae takes no time in itself and the Dhampir can
do it even on someone elses turn.
Maximum Vitae: A Dhampir can store Vitae in her body
equal to 10 plus her Constitution modifi er; if she gains
excess
Vitae, it is wasted.
Starting Vitae: Dhampirs start with their maximum amount
of Vitae (10 + Con modifi er).
Vitae per Round: Dhampirs can spend one Vitae per round,
no matter what effect(s) they want to achieve. A Dhampir
can
take the Blood Potency Discipline to improve this rate.
Dhampirs can use Vitae for several effects. (Information on
blood addiction and Vinculums appears fi rst, as the other
Vitae
effects rely on it; other effects appear in alphabetical
order.)
BLOOD ADDICTION
Vitae may look and smell like blood, but Vitae certainly
doesnt taste like blood stolen life is the ultimate
forbidden
fruit, the sweetest taste that any human or Dhampir has
ever
experienced. It is also incredibly addictive.
Every time a creature drinks a Dhampirs blood, the drinker
must make a Will save (DC 10 + the Dhampirs Constitution
modifi er). If he fails, he is one step closer to blood
addiction and
takes a 4 penalty on future saves against this addiction.
When
the penalty reaches 20, the drinker is addicted and no
longer
wants to resist the thirst for Vitae.
Addicted humans often become obsessed with drinking
normal blood, though it gives them no benefi t and does not
slake the thirst. They often grow obsessively dependent on
the
Dhampir who supplies their addiction, willing to do anything
for another fi x. Addicted Dhampirs may become so
desperate
as to wound themselves and lick their own Vitae (this act
does
not diminish their supply, and it only reinforces the
addiction).
Some turn to preying on other Dhampirs.
A creature who makes his Will save resists the temptation
and reduces his penalty by 4 (from 16 to 12, for example).
If
an addicted creature reduces his penalty to 0 in this way, he
is
no longer addicted. Likewise, each month in which the
creature
does not taste Vitae reduces the penalty by 4.
Some extremely powerful Dhampirs can gain sustenance
only by drinking the blood of other Dhampirs, but they do
not
become addicted to it like lesser creatures.
ESTABLISH VINCULUM
Drinking a particular Dhampirs blood three times creates
an emotional bond between the drinker and the Dhampir.
This
bond, called the Vinculum, which means blood bond or
blood
oath, gives the Dhampir power over the drinker. The
Dhampir
who creates the bond is called the regnant, and the drinker
is the
thrall. The thrall cannot make a save to avoid this bond.
Each
drink requires the Dhampir to spend at least one Vitae.
The Vinculum is an emotional devotion; it is like love but
mechanical and hollow, yet stronger than any bond created
with
Dominate or Majesty Disciplines neither sorts of
disciplines
can overpower the regnants power over his thrall. Likewise,
a
creature can be thrall to only one Dhampir at a time; the
blood
bond prevents any others from forming.
Normally Dhampirs use this bond on humans or animals,
but Dhampirs can also bond other Dhampirs and some
other supernatural
creatures. Most Dhampirs refuse to become thralls to
each other, as they fear this kind of slavery, but especially
close
Dhampirs may form a blood bond with each other as a sign
of
friendship or to prevent others from enthralling them.
Commanding your thrall is easy; you gain a +4 bonus on all
social skills (such as Diplomacy or Intimidate) to infl uence
or
manipulate your thrall, and the thrall takes a 4 penalty on
saves
to resist your commands including those from
supernatural
abilities. The thrall gains a +4 bonus on saves to resist
commands
from others if those commands would cause you direct or
indirect
harm (including harm through inaction on the thralls part),
and opponents take a 4 penalty on social skills to
encourage
the thrall to perform such actions. If you are thrall to
another
creature, your thralls behavior extends toward your
regnant to
a lesser extent (+2 and 2 instead of +4 and 4).
If one year passes from the last time a non-Dhampir thrall
drank
his regnants Vitae, the bond ends. The blood bond
probably lasts
longer for Dhampirs, though not enough time has passed
since the
Nightmare Wave to test the length. Heavy abuse and
mistreatment
can turn a thrall against his regnant, which usually results in
the
thrall performing a murderous assault and then going mad.
Killing a regnant ends his Vinculums immediately.
Demons, mages and werewolves cannot become thralls.
Awakened can become thralls, but they must drink Vitae six
times instead of three.
ACTIVATE DISCIPLINES
Some Disciplines require Vitae; others do not. See each
Disciplines description to see if it requires Vitae, and if so
how
much.
AUGMENT PHYSICAL ABILITIES
A Dhampir can use Vitae to temporarily boost her Strength,
Dexterity or Constitution. Each point of Vitae grants her a
+4
enhancement bonus to one of these abilities for one
minute. This
use causes no apparent physical change in the Dhampirs
body,
and is therefore handy when she wants to conceal her
supernatural
nature a Dhampir with the body of an old woman can
boost her Strength to Herculean levels and still appear
puny.
Unlike most enhancement bonuses, this bonus stacks with
itself as long as you spend all the Vitae in the same round.
Multiple
uses on the same ability over the course of multiple rounds
have no effect, but if you spend three Vitae in one round,
you can
gain a +12 enhancement bonus to Strength (for example).
Increasing your Constitution increases your hit points;
these extra hit points go away when the ability expires,
which
may cause you to drop to 0 hit points or below (you do not
lose
them fi rst like temporary hit points).
COUNTERFEIT LIFE
A Dhampirs metabolic nature is different from that of a
normal human. A Dhampir vomits up human food and drink.
A Dhampir can spend one Vitae to consume normal food
and
drink without this response, which lasts for one meal;
afterward
the Dhampir still regurgitates the food, so she probably
wants to
get out of sight of normal people.
A Dhampir has only a semblance of life Dhampirs are
sometimes pallid, with no heartbeat and no need to
breathe
unless they wish to speak. A Dhampir can spend one Vitae
to give herself the full appearance of a human a rosy fl
ush
in the cheeks no matter how low her current Vitae, a
regular
heartbeat, a normal breathing rhythm, even the ability to
have
sex. This effect lasts at most an hour. Note that if your form
is
normally monstrous (as most Nosferatu are), this ability just
means you appear living and monstrous rather than
somewhat
dead and monstrous.
A Dhampir can use both of these abilities at the same time,
spending one Vitae for each effect (food ingestion and
lifelike
appearance).
CREATE GHOULS
A Dhampir can feed a human or animal her Vitae to create
a servant with limited vampiric powers. This creature is
called a
ghoul. The act of creating a ghoul is intentional (it never
happens
by accident). Though a ghoul feeds on Vitae, a ghoul is not
necessarily a thrall, nor are all thralls automatically ghouls.
To create a ghoul, a Dhampir must deliberately feed the
target one Vitae and expend one additional Vitae to channel
supernatural energy into her new ghoul. The target
immediately
becomes a ghoul with one Vitae of his own. A Dhampir can
feed
a ghoul more Vitae, up to half the ghouls Constitution
score.
Upon becoming a ghoul, a creature immediately gains the
Celerity, Resilience or Vigor Discipline. The Dhampir chooses
the Discipline. Once the ghoul gains this Discipline, he can
take
it again as a feat to improve it. If a ghoul has an available
feat
slot, he can study for one day with a Dhampir to learn any
ghoul
Discipline (Celerity, Resilience or Vigor), allowing him to
spend
his available feat on that Discipline (and then spend
subsequent
feats to improve that Discipline). Since ghouls do not belong
to
clans, they never gain a clan bonus for these Disciplines.
Ghouls do not age. Just as Dhampirs, ghouls can use their
stored Vitae to augment themselves physically, to heal
themselves
or to activate Disciplines. A ghoul can spend only one Vitae
per
round and can never learn to spend Vitae faster (ghouls
cannot
take the Blood Potency Discipline). Unlike Dhampirs, ghouls
digest Vitae. To use it, they tap into stored supernatural
power,
rather than redirect the actual liquid within themselves.
As long as any Dhampir repeats the ghoul ritual (feeding
one Vitae and spending one more) every month, the ghoul
remains a ghoul, even if he currently has no stored Vitae. If
a
month passes since the last ritual, he is no longer a ghoul.
His
apparent age catches up to his true age at a rate of one year
per day beyond the missed ritual. (In theory, a mortal
whose
lifespan has been unnaturally extended with ghouldom
would
rapidly age and die if deprived in this way.) A reverted ghoul
loses all stored Vitae.
A ghoul can spend two Vitae on his own (one each round
for two successive rounds) to extend his ghoul state another
month, but the ghoul does not automatically know this.
Some
Dhampirs prefer their ghouls to return to them in order to
keep
their servants on a short leash, while other Dhampirs
recognize
the need for extended missions away from home.
Animals can become ghouls, but their intelligence limits
their
effectiveness. Animal ghouls can use Vitae only on
Disciplines, not
to heal themselves or perform other physical
augmentations. They
usually never progress beyond the Discipline they gain
when they
become ghouls, though Dhampirs may be able to teach
animals
others with careful use of Animalism Disciplines. Animal
ghouls
tend to use their Vitae immediately in combat, spending
one Vitae
in the fi rst round and spending more only if they know a
second
Discipline. Because of these limitations, animal ghouls are
rare, and
Dhampirs who want animal guardians usually create thralls.
Demons, mages and werewolves cannot become ghouls.
Awakened can become ghouls, but all Vitae costs are
doubled for
their creation and maintenance. Awakened must spend
double
the normal Vitae to accomplish anything requiring Vitae.
DETECT BLOOD TIE
A Dhampir can recognize another Dhampirs clan if she
tastes the strangers Vitae; the nature of the dead soul fl
avors the
Dhampirs supernatural blood. A Dhampir can always
recognize
the taste of blood or Vitae she has tasted before, and even
recognize
the taste of someone who has drank the blood or Vitae
of someone she has tasted. (This ability allows her to
recognize
other thralls of her regnant.)
Recognizing a clans or a specifi c Dhampirs Vitae by taste
requires a DC 20 Search check. If the Vitae is from your
regnant
or someone who has tasted your regnants Vitae, the DC
is 15. You automatically detect the taste of your own Vitae,
whether in another Dhampirs Vitae or in a non-Dhampir
who
has drunk it.
VAMP I R E S
73
HEAL WOUNDS
Spending Vitae is the only way a Dhampir can heal wounds
on her own; simple rest accomplishes nothing. Spending
one
Vitae heals 10 hit points of damage or two points of ability
damage
from a single ability. Spending two Vitae heals one point
of ability drain. A severely injured Dhampir may have to
feed
several times in order to generate enough Vitae to heal
herself.
A Dhampir can heal herself in this way while unconscious.
WAKE UP
A Dhampir is an unnatural fusion of a living person and a
dead soul. This combination causes lethargy and fatigue in
the
body during daylight hours, and most Dhampirs sleep this
time
away in a state resembling death. Overcoming this
supernatural
sleep requires the expenditure of one Vitae, regardless of
what
time the Dhampir fell asleep or wants to wake. Morning,
noon,
sundown or midnight, waking always costs one Vitae.
REGAINING VITAE FEEDING
Feeding on an unwilling target requires the Dhampir to
grapple the victim; once the grapple is established, the
Dhampir
can feed each round as a standard action by making a
successful grapple check. Feeding on a live creature is called
the Kiss, and it is an ecstatic experience for both Dhampir
and victim. Once the Kiss begins, a non-Dhampir target
must make a Will save (DC 10 + the Dhampirs Hit Dice +
the Dhampirs Charisma modifier) or succumb to the
ecstasy
and stop resisting. If the Dhampir is in combat and feeds on
his opponent, the victim never needs to make this Will save
and can resist the Dhampirs attack every round no
matter
how good the Kiss feels, your mortal enemy wont sit back
and let you do it.
Feeding on a willing target (whether a volunteer or one
who has succumbed to the Kiss) is a standard action and
requires
no grapple check. Each round of feeding on a human
subject gives a Dhampir one Vitae.
A Medium humanoid creature contains enough blood to
generate one Vitae per two points of Constitution, and each
Vitae a Dhampir takes from the creature deals two points of
Constitution damage. Because Constitution damage heals
at a rate of one point per day, and a Dhampir must expend
at least one Vitae each night he rises, a Dhampir cannot rely
on a single humanoid creature for feeding; the creature gets
depleted over several days. Dhampirs usually rely on more
than
one source of blood; otherwise, they leave behind a string
of
bodies that others can trace to them.
Medium or larger Animals are worth one Vitae for every
four points of Constitution, though each Vitae taken from
them still deals only two points of Constitution damage.
A Small creature is worth half as much Vitae as a Medium
creature of its type. A Tiny creature is worth one-quarter as
much Vitae as a Medium creature of its type; smaller
creatures
cannot give Dhampirs Vitae.
Stored blood has only a fraction of the potency of fresh
human blood; a Dhampir must consume eight pints of
human
blood to gain one Vitae.
A dead human body can provide a single Vitae, and is
available as Vitae only within 24 hours of the hosts death.
A Dhampir may feed on another Dhampir, directly draining
Vitae from her target and adding it to her total. However,
feeding this way risks blood addiction and a blood bond.
Mage blood is laced with magic, but is as effective as
human blood for a Dhampirs purposes. However, a
Dhampir
who feeds on mage blood suffers mild hallucinations (1 on
all attacks, saves and checks) for one day per Vitae taken
a doubles the benefit of blood draining. Each time he blood
side effect of the mages supernatural awareness.
Werewolf blood is more potent than human blood;
a werewolf is worth one Vitae for every one point of the
werewolfs Constitution. However, due to werewolves
savage
alien natures, a Dhampir who drinks werewolf blood may
enter
a frenzied state in combat or when aggravated, similar to a
werewolf. This rage-prone state lasts one day per werewolf
Vitae taken.
A Dhampir in this sort of rage can barely manage the clarity
to speak (DC 20 Will save to bark out a few words). She
cannot use Charisma-, Dexterity- or Intelligence-based skills
(except for Balance, Escape Artist, Intimidate and Ride),
the Concentration skill, any abilities that require patience
or concentration or Disciplines (unless they specify they are
useable in a rage). She can use any feat she has except
Combat
Expertise. The frequency and duration of these episodes is
at
the GMs discretion.
Awakened blood is just as potent as human blood, but
because their nature is counter to that of Dhampirs, Vitae
from an Awakened hinders a Dhampirs ability to use
Vitaebased
abilities. Any Vitae expenditure other than waking
up requires twice as much Vitae to function. This hampered
state lasts one day per Awakened Vitae taken.
Dhampirs cannot feed on demons; their bodies are made
of animated inert matter that is as unsuitable for feeding as
a
pile of earth or a stone. Dhampirs cannot feed on plants.
Dhampirs have a psychological dependence on fresh
blood. Even if the Dhampir is fully sated on animal or
preserved
blood, feeding on a live person is thrilling. Every time
a Dhampir feeds on a live human, the Dhampir must make a
Will save to resist draining that person completely dry (DC
10 + 1 for every day that has passed since she last tasted
fresh
human blood). Most Dhampirs try to feed regularly to stave
off this impulse, as a trail of dead bodies draws attention; a
rare few avoid feeding on humans entirely.
Improved Blood Drain (Su): At 4th level, the arch-Dhampir
drains,
apply the effects twice as if he had blood drained twice. For
example,
a standard Dhampir normally deals 1d4 Con damage, and
chooses to gain 5 temporary hp or add the ability drain
toward
regaining lost blood points, for every successful blood drain.
If he
became an arch-Dhampir, he would deal 2d4 points of Con
damage,
and gain 10 temporary hit points or add the greater amount
of
2d4 ability score points toward regaining blood points. This
ability
does not stack with the Improved Blood Drain feat.
Speed of Darkness (Ex): At 6th level and higher, the
archDhampir
adds his Intelligence modifier (if +1 or higher) to his
initiative
score.
Dominate Undead (Su): At 8th level and higher, the
archDhampir
may use his dominate ability to control undead.
Master Dhampir (Su): At 9th level and higher, the
archDhampir
gains an inherent +2 bonus to the DC to resist all of his
vampiric abilities. Furthermore, he gains a +2 inherent
bonus to
saving throws against the abilities of other Dhampirs.
Divine Scion (Su): The arch-Dhampir discovers an amazing
inner strength that seems to be granted by a greater power.
It certainly
isnt evident in any normal Dhampir. The arch-Dhampir can
now rebuke or command undead as an evil cleric, with his
cleric
level equal to his total racial Dhampir levels plus his levels
as an
arch-Dhampir plus any normal cleric levels. He must use an
unholy symbol of his own design.
The arch-Dhampir feels a strong connection to this
mysterious
greater power. The arch-Dhampir gains one level of cleric
spellcasting. If he had no cleric levels prior to taking this
class, he
effectively casts spells as a first-level cleric. If he had cleric
levels,
he casts spells as a cleric one level higher. He must worship
Vlad the Immortal, Suthrikorn the Red, or another vampiric
deity.
The arch-Dhampir may continue to take levels as a cleric, as
if he
were taking normal cleric levels, but at no XP penalty for
multiclassing,
regardless of race or favored class.
