Hello! I'm very new and I'm trying to create a race trait called bite(for a vampire race) that can do 1d6 piercing damage and add 3d6 necrotic damage with the hp thing. I have tried using several things but is not working as expected.
Not sure if someone has an idea on how this can be done please?
This system cannot actually create a single action that can combine those two separate rolls together, you would need to create them as separate Actions to display on the character sheet as rollable.
This system cannot automatically add the HP to your character when you make the attack, that would have to be done manually by the player whenever they use this trait.
That is a very powerful trait. Even if it’s the kind of thing they could only use once per day it would be veryvery strong for a low level character, but would be okay for a higher level character. Might I suggest an alternative?
What I would suggest is to give the Vamp 2 different “Bite” attacks, one that’s just a 1d6 piercing damage “Bite” and that’s it; and then a “Vampiric Bite” that does Necrotic damage (instead of piercing), does the life drain thing just like you want, but it would only do 1d6 damage from 1st—4th levels, 2d6 from 5th—10th levels, 3d6 from 11th—16th, and finally 4d6 damage from 17th—20th levels, and it’s useable a number of times per long rest equal to your Proficiency bonus. That would be something far more in keeping with the rest of D&D in terms of power level. That’s my suggestion anyway.
I hope that helps, if you need more just post again.

Well, a couplefew things:
