Spell List
Vampiric Magic. Your transformation has granted you a limited connection to the supernatural forces that sustain the undead. These powers manifest as dark, blood-fueled magic that reflects your vampiric nature.
| Spell Level | Spells |
|---|
Vampiric Spellcasting. The magic available to you comes from the supernatural essence of your vampiric curse. Your spells often manifest as dark, crimson energy, unnatural shadows, or the draining of life from your enemies. This magic is instinctive rather than learned, and its power grows as you become more accustomed to your undead nature.
Suggested Characteristics
Suggested Characteristics. Your transformation into a vampire spawn has changed your personality and behavior. You may struggle with your hunger for blood, fear of sunlight, memories of your former life, or the instincts of your undead nature. Use these characteristics to help shape how your vampiric curse affects your personality, relationships, and choices.
Contacts
Contacts. Your existence as a vampire spawn has brought you into contact with creatures of the night, secretive hunters, and others who understand or fear your curse. Your contacts may include vampires, other undead, cultists, criminals, informants, or people from your former life. These relationships can provide information, shelter, blood, or dangerous opportunities—but they may also come with a price.
Vampire Spawn. You are a newly created vampire spawn, caught between mortality and undeath. Your body has gained the supernatural gifts of a vampire, including heightened senses, unnatural agility, and a thirst for blood. However, you remain vulnerable to sunlight and other vampiric weaknesses. Your hunger must be regularly satisfied, or the curse will begin to weaken your body and mind.
Blood Hunger. Your body requires blood to sustain its supernatural strength. You must drink blood at least once every 24 hours. If you go 24 hours without drinking blood, you gain 1 level of Exhaustion. For every additional 24 hours you go without blood, you gain another level of Exhaustion. After drinking enough blood to satisfy your hunger, you can remove 1 level of Exhaustion. The blood can come from any willing or unwilling creature, though your DM may determine how much blood is required to satisfy your hunger.
