Homebrew Dhampir Species Details

Born in sacrliegous union between a humanoid race and a vampire, and cursed to walk the earth in a state of limbo, stuck forever between their undead cousins, and their human ones. Many dhampirs take lives and professions as wandering thieves, assassins, and rogues. Though some have been known to try and surpass their negative nature, and take roles as heroes and roaming adventurers. In any case, the biggest obstacle for any dhampir is home.

Dhampirs have sharp fangs and pale skin. They can live for however long they have food and resources to stay that way. Unlike vampires, who go feral without blood, dhampirs simply perish and waste away. Given blood, they stay forever young, though the less they drink, the more they age. When aging, they do so at slightly slower than the normal rate as their ancestor species. For elven descendents, this would be about 800 years, whereas for humans, closer to 120.
