Your Intelligence score increases by 2, and your Strength score increases by 1.

Dhampir mature at the same rate as humans, but the aging process slows considerably in their early 20’s, and they live to be up to 125 years old.

Dhampir are not inherently drawn towards evil. However, as a result of the constant persecution they face, many of them wind up there. Since they are so often alone in the world, many Dhampir wind up with chaotic alignments.

Dhampir are the same size and build as the race that they originate from. Your size is Medium.

Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

Thanks to the bonuses of your vampiric origin, your eyes are adjusted to the inky black of the night. You can see in dim light as if it were bright light up to a range of 60 feet, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can’t discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.

Dhampir possess a natural gift for melee combat, and are blessed with the ability to absorb the very essence of their opponents through the natural melee weapons unique to them.

When you choose this race for your character, choose between Tear Vitality and Sap Vitality. If you would make an Unarmed Strike, you can instead attack with your chosen feature.

Tear Vitality - As an action, you rip the life out of an enemy by force, ripping into them with your monstrous canines and rending the very life from their forms. If you hit with this attack, it deals 1d8 + your Strength modifier Piercing damage, and you recover HP equal to 1d4 + the target’s Constitution modifier. If you hit an undead or construct with this feature, you do not regain HP.

Sap Vitality - As an action, you strike at the core of your opponent’s being with elegance and grace, absorbing their essence into your own with precision strikes of your naturally-sharp fingernails. If you hit with this attack, it deals 1d6 + your Dexterity modifier Slashing damage, and you recover HP equal to the target’s Constitution modifier. If you hit an undead or construct with this feature, you do not regain HP.

You know the Chill Touch cantrip. You also know the False Life spell, which you may cast at 1st-Level at will, without expending a spell slot or material components. When you reach 3rd level, you can cast Misty Step as a 2nd-level spell once with this trait, and regain the ability to do so when you take a short rest. When you reach 5th level, you can cast the Speak With Dead once with this trait, and regain the ability to do so when you take a short rest. Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for these spells.
