I’m trying to make a home brew vampire and I can’t figure something out. I want to add a bite attack that deals 1d6 piercing with the addition of my con modifier in necrotic damage. I’ve tried looking at other things on here explaining it but it doesn’t work properly.
I’m also trying to edit the unarmed strike to be piercing instead of bludgeoning
I know I can just leave it in the notes but I’d like to see if there’s a way I can add it directly to the race
You cannot edit the standard unarmed strike to do piercing damage, but you can create a new unarmed strike that does piercing damage and then simply both would appear on the character sheet. (Vampires can punch/kick/headbut after all.) To create the new one simply create a Weapon Action, and set it up like this:
For your special Blood Draining Bite, you would create another Weapon Action and set it up like this:
After you [SAVE] the actions you MUST re-save the entire race using the main [SAVE CHANGES] button under Basic Information or the system won’t pick up your changes. After that it can take up to 20 minutes for those changes to push through to the character builder/sheet.
