Spawned by Blood

Prerequisite: Custom Lineage or Dhampir Lineage (or DM’s discretion)

Your body has been altered by a dark rite or an ancient curse, imbuing you with traits of a vampire spawn. You gain the following benefits:

Vampiric Resilience

Your body is unnaturally resilient.

• You gain resistance to necrotic damage.

• You gain advantage on saving throws against being charmed.

Bloodthirsty Fangs

You gain a natural melee weapon: your fangs.

• You can make an unarmed strike with your fangs. If you hit with them, you deal 1d6 piercing damage, and you can choose to regain hit points equal to the piercing damage dealt. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, regaining all expended uses after a long rest.

• This attack counts as a magical weapon for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage.

Shadow's Step (1/Short Rest)

When lightly obscured or in darkness, you can use a bonus action to teleport up to 30 feet to an unoccupied space you can see that is also in darkness or dim light.

🪦 Darkspawn Weakness

Your blood comes with a curse.

• You have disadvantage on saving throws against effects that turn undead.

• You are vulnerable to radiant damage until you complete a long rest in your resting place (defined by the DM, e.g., native soil or coffin).

Roleplay-Heavy Flavor 

If desired, this feat can also impose or allow the following narrative implications:

• You do not cast a reflection or have a shadow.

• You have a compulsion to obey the commands of your vampire progenitor (if any), requiring a Wisdom saving throw (DC 15) to resist.

• You must consume fresh blood at least once every 7 days, or suffer one level of exhaustion.
