Homebrew Dhampir Species Details
Cold and misunderstood, half vampires like solitude. Usually born as a result of the love from a vampire and some other race, they get most of the vampire’s traits while also having a sense of humanity. While some tend towards evil as a result of civilians’ backlash for their parents’ doings or their looks, others scale towards neutrality with the intention to prove to be different. It is extremely weird to find a good-aligned half-vampire, and it’s because of their deceptive nature that if you are to find one, you shouldn’t trust them either.
Dhampir Traits
Your dhampir character has the following racial traits.Superior Darkvision
Thanks to your vampiric heritage, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 120 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can’t discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.
Vampiric Resistance
Due to your undead heritage, you have resistance to Necrotic damage.
Vampiric Vulnerability
Due to your cursed nature, you have vulnerability to Radiant damage.

When you reach 5th level, you can cast the misty step spell once with this trait and regain the ability to do so when you finish a long rest. Charisma is your spellcasting ability for these spells.

Ability Score Increase
Your Constitution score increases by 2, and your Charisma score increases by 1.

Dhampir reach maturity at the same rate as humans, but stop physically aging in their early twenties. While not entirely immortal like their fully vampiric parentage, dhampir can live an extremely long time, sometimes reaching over a thousand years old.
Alignment
While some Dhampir tend towards evil as a result of civilians’ backlash for their parents’ doings or their looks, others scale towards neutrality with the intention to prove to be different.

Size
Dhampir have the same range of height and weight as humans.
Speed
Your base walking speed is 30 feet.
Bite
Your fangs count as a natural weapon, which you can use to make unarmed strikes. If you hit with it, you deal piercing damage equal to 1d6 + your Strength modifier, instead of the bludgeoning damage normal for an unarmed strike.
Bloodthirst
In battle, you can throw yourself into a vicious bloodthirsty frenzy. As a bonus action, you can make a special attack with your bite. If the attack hits, it deals its normal damage, and you gain temporary hit points equal to the damage dealt by the attack. Once used, you can’t use this trait again until you finish a short or long rest.
