Traits

Undead Fortitude: If damage reduces the bridesmaid to 0 hit points, it must make a DC5+damage Constitution saving throw, unless the damage is radiant or from a critical hit.  On a success, the bridesmaid drops to 1 hit point instead.

Sunlight Sensitivity: While in sunlight, the bridesmaid has disadvantage on attack rolls, as well as Wisdom checks that rely on sight.

Actions

The bridesmaid makes two attacks: one with its claws and one with its bite.

Claws: Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 7 (1d6 + 3) slashing damage.

Bite: Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one willing creature, or a creature that is grappled by the bridesmaid, incapacitated, or restrained. Hit: 6 (1d4 + 3) piercing damage plus 7 (2d6) necrotic damage. The target’s hit point maximum is reduced by an amount equal to the necrotic damage taken, and the bridesmaid regains hit points equal to that amount. The reduction lasts until the target finishes a long rest. The target dies if this effect reduces its hit point maximum to 0.

Reactions

Retaliation: When a creature within 5 feet of the bridesmaid hits it with a melee attack, the bridesmaid can make a melee attack with its claws against that creature.

Description

Appearance: Each bridesmaid has a pale, almost translucent complexion, with eyes that glow faintly red in the darkness. Their features are sharp and refined, reminiscent of their vampiric nature. They wear tattered yet ornate gowns that hint at their former lives, now stained with the passage of time and the blood of their victims. Their movements are graceful yet predatory, like a dance of death.

Personality: The bridesmaids are cunning and ruthless, driven by an insatiable hunger for blood and a desire to please their mistress. They possess a cold, calculating demeanor, often toying with their prey before delivering the final blow. Despite their undead state, they retain a twisted sense of loyalty and camaraderie among themselves, working together to ensnare and overpower their enemies.

Role: In the vampire bride’s court, the bridesmaids serve as both protectors and enforcers. They guard the inner sanctum of the castle, ensuring that no intruders disturb their mistress. When called upon, they also act as emissaries, carrying out the vampire bride’s will with lethal efficiency.
