Homebrew Dhampir Species Details

A dhampir is a creature that is the result of a union between a vampire and a human. Dhampirs are very shapely and comely. Their beauty is often compared to that of royalty. Dhampir powers are similar to those of vampires but without the usual weaknesses. They are a great danger to both enemies and friends, It is recommended to take extreme caution when dealing with them.

While they seem more or less human, many dhampirs have pale skin and dark hair. At birth they resemble stillborns, but they do have a very faint heartbeat. Most even possess sharpened teeth or claws, reminders of their undead heritage. They feed the same way as humans do but have problems being out in the sun. Their looks are human too, though they are described as being more graceful in appearance than humans. They are not as powerful as vampires but are instead granted the gift of not needing to feed on others.

Dhampirs appear tall and sturdy while also having graceful features and a slender appearance which belies their unnatural strength.
