Homebrew Vampire Species Details
Human ability is extremely limited and finite. Your training avails you nothing. It's USELESS, USELESS, USELESS, UUUSSSEELLLESSS!! A MERE MONKEY COULD NEVER DEFEAT A LION!!!
Vampires are not a certain breed of creature, but rather humans who were cursed with blood-thirst. No information about the origin of vampires remain, and the curse only travels through the blood of a Master Vampire, so vampires are extremely rare.
Dead but Living
Vampires are pale, humanoid beings who are neither dead nor alive. They are undead, feeding from the life force of living things. They have dark, even reddish eyes and long, sharp fangs that can be retracted at will. They are known for their strength, speed, and charm, which can be a very deadly combination. Apart from their gained pale appearance, they look very similar to whatever they looked like in life.

Another day of thirst will thrust the Vampire into a blood-crazed frenzy for an hour.
If no blood is consumed during that hour, the Vampire will die.

Compulsion
As a Vampire you can control the mind of another simply through eye contact. The target must succeed on a DC 17 Wisdom saving throw or be compelled by the Vampire.

Some species of naturally occurring herbs can prevent compulsion.
Cold Blood
Vampires have disadvantage to all rolls when exposed to sunlight.
