Homebrew Dhampyr Species Details
While they seem more or less human/elf, many dhampyrs 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.
Dhampyrs appear tall and sturdy while also having graceful features and a slender appearance which belies their unnatural strength.
