In the Dark of the Night...
But first, on earth as vampire sent,
Thy corpse shall from its tomb be rent,
Then ghastly haunt thy native place,
And suck the blood of all thy race;
There from thy daughter, sister, wife,
At midnight drain the stream of life;
Yet loathe the banquet which perforce
Must feed thy livid living corpse.- Lord Byron, The Giaour
The well dressed woman laughs politely behind her
elaborate fan. As her gentleman caller returns her laughter,
she lowers her fan and exposes her smile...and her pointed
fangs.
Lurking in the woods, the ranger moves stealthily toward his
prey, unaware that the hunter has become the hunted. At
least, unaware... until the shriek of the monster that has been
flying above him signals his end. The last thing he sees is a
pair of giant wings unfolding.
The commander stares at his hordes of men, brutal and
savage as they plunder the land of resources, women, and
drink. He turns his head to leave. As he does so, a man
drunkenly staggers into him, laughing. With a casual flick of
his wrist, the drunken man's neck is snapped, and the
commander resumes his march.
Throughout history and the world, Vampires have been a
terrifying force. Cloaked in darkness and mystery, these
champions of shadow have taken many forms and commited
many terrifying acts in the name of some greater evil.
In popular culture, vampires range from the sparkly
denizins of Twilight to the rampaging monsters of various
Van Helsing adapatations. In this version, your vampire
powers are tied to the very core of your being, while you
claim your Title to truly seperate yourself from the rest of the
rabble.
Blessing or Curse
The power of the Vampire comes with many blessings that
people would die for; eternal life, unnatural strength, magical
powers, to name but a few. However there are many who
claim that such gifts come at too high a cost; to lose ones
humanity and drink the blood of other living things is a cost
they cannot fathom. Others merely shrug; it's a living.
Creating a Vampire
When creating a Vampire, think about your character and
how they relate to the world around them. Are they shunned
in some way, due to either their vampiric appearance or how
they act as a vampire? Do they view humans as prey, cattle, or
simply a by product of something they have no control over?
Do you come from a cursed family bloodline, a strange bite in
the night, or something darker?
How did you contract Vampirism? Was it intenional, or an
accident? Are you working to find a cure, or will you use your
new powers to great effect in the quest for good, to ensure
nothing like this happens to other innocents?

Vampiric Origins
Vampires have existed for hundreds of years, maybe even
thousands. They have many locales and stories, and very few
vampires are exactly alike (unless they've been roommates
for hundreds of years). In addition to your Background,
consider the following tables to help flesh out your fledgling
Vampire.
Vampiric Tokens
d12 Tokens
1 The coins from a dead man's eyes. Whether or not
they are mine are anyones' guess.
2 The Fang of a Feral vampire I killed.
3 A vial of blood substitute I created. I'm saving it for a
dire circumstance.
4 A Hand of Glory (Light, once per day for 10 minutes)
5 The Collar of a dog I was forced to eat.
6 A sigil pin from a royal house. It isn't mine.
7 A Dagger made of glass. It shines dully in the
firelight.
8 A pouch of dirt from my grave. It gives me comfort.
9 The skeleton of a small animal. It whispers things
every so often.
10 A cape made of bat wings. It flutters with a life of its'
own.
11 A ring with a jewel in it. It is covered in strange
markings that could be a language.
12 A necklace with a glass sphere intead of a gem. It
gives me glimpes of a person I do not know.

Bond
d6 Bonds
1 I care for one Thrall in particular and would do
everything to ensure they have a happy life.
2 The Wilds call me. I feel free in the wilderness and
cramped in the cities.
3 The blood of Royalty flows in my viens. I can call on
them for help at any time.
4 I try to help people that I hurt in my past life.
5 Nothing satisfies me more than sinking my fangs into
a victim.
6 My mentor, my teacher, the person who turned me;
they are my greatest ally in the Realms.
View of Humanity *
d6 Views
1 Humans disgust me. They aren't worthy to lick my feet.
Not that I would let them.
2 They're alright. I've met some in my time that I can
count among my friends.
3 Humans are cattle. They exist to be a food source.
4 I regret what I have to do, but in order to protect the
many, I must feed from a few.
5 I was mortal once. Now, they are merely ripples in a
pond.
6 I revealed my Curse to a human once. It taught me that
they cannot be trusted.
*In this case, Humanity refers to anyone who isn't a
vampire, and includes all the races.
 Sidebar: Feeding rules

Sanguinare Vampiris Coffin Slumber
When you select this class at 1st level, you count as an At 1st level, you need only sleep through a trance. This trance
undead creature for all spells and abilities that affect or lasts as long as you wish, though you need only be in it for 6
detect the undead. You do not need to eat or breathe and you hours to gain the effects of a long rest. In this state, you
do not age. Under the influence of Vampirism, you have the appear motionless, however you are aware of your
following effects: surroundings. You can hear and smell as normal. You can end
this trance at any time.
Benefits:
You have resistance to Necrotic Damage.
You gain darkvision up to a range of 60 feet, if you do not
already have it; if you have darkvision, it's range increases
to 120 feet. If you already have Darkvision for this range,
you can discern color in the darkness as if it were dim
light.
Your bodily transformation grants you the use of two
natural weapons: a pair of deadly claws and fangs. You
can choose to use either Strength or Dexterity (which ever
is higher) for your damage modifier when you make this
attack. These natural weapons both share the finesse
property, but possess different characteristics, described
below:
Claws. Your claws deal 1d4 slashing damage on a hit.
When you successfully hit a creature that is no more than
one size larger than you, you may choose to grapple it
instead of dealing damage.
Bite. Your fangs can only be used to target a creature
that is willing, grappled by you, restrained or otherwise
incapacitated, such as sleeping. If at least one of the
aforementioned conditions are met, make an attack roll as
normal. On a hit, you deal 1d6 piercing damage and 1d4
necrotic damage. The target's hit point maximum is
reduced by an amount equal to the necrotic damage dealt,
and you regain hit points equal to that amount. The
reduction lasts until the target finishes a long rest. The
target dies if this effect reduces its hit point maximum to
0. The necrotic damage increases as you gain levels,
increasing to 1d6 at 6th level and then to 2d6 at 11th level.
Regardless of how many attacks you are able to perform,
you may only use your Bite attack once per round.
Weaknesses:
If you are hit in the heart by a weapon that deals piercing
damage, you are paralyzed until it is removed. Your heart
has an Armor Class equal to your AC + your Constitution
modifier. While paralyzed in this way, you have resistance
to all damage except psychic.
If you end your turn in running water, you take acid
damage equal to your level. This cannot be reduced in any
way.
You may only cross the threshold of a home if you are
invited in by a resident.
You find bright light painful. While in direct Sunlight or
until the end of your turn after taking radiant damage, you
have disadvantage on attacks and Wisdom (Perception)
checks. You gain a level of exhaustion for each hour you
spend in bright light. You cannot gain more than 4 points
of exhaustion in this way. Staying in dim light or darkness
for 2 hours can remove additional levels of exhaustion Art Credit:

the Blood Pool Points column of the Vampire table. You can
spend these points to fuel various vampiric features. Choose Starting at 6th level, your unarmed strikes count as magical
two features from those listed and that you fulfill the for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to
requirements for. When you gain a level in this class, you may non magical attacks and damage.
swap one feature you have chosen for another that is
available to you. This represents you honing your vampiric
abilities to focus on certain areas. You may spend Blood
points to use those features as directed. You learn an
additional Blood Pool Feature at 6th, 9th, 12th, 15th , and
18th levels. The level prerequisite refers to Vampire level, not
character level.
Feeding off of creatures of Small size or larger will restore
1 Blood Point if the target is not a humanoid. Humanoids
restore 2 Blood Points.
When you bite a willing creature, the creature takes no
damage, but instead loses a hit die without rolling it. You
recover a Blood Point for each Hit dice lost in this way.
Humanoids restore twice as much Blood Points.
Blood Pool Saves
Some of your Blood Pool features require your target to make
a saving throw to resist the feature’s effects. The saving throw
DC is calculated as follows:
BP save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma
modifier
BP attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Charisma
modifier

Title
At 3rd level, you choose a Title to claim. You can choose
between The Beastial, The Count, The Corsair, The Host,
The Impaler, The Mindful (Psionic UA) or The Refined. This
title grants you features at 3rd level and again at 7th, 11th
and 17th.
Ability Score Improvement

19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice
by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by

Dracula Untold by joshcalloway
Detect Life
At 10th level, you may spend a Blood Point as an action to
focus your will across the nearby domain for 1 minute.
During this time, you can sense the location of all of the
creatures of a particular type within 1 mile of you, choosing
from the following list: Beast, Celestial, Dragon, Fey, Fiend,
Giant, or Humanoid;. You can spend additional Blood Points
to expand the type of creatures you can detect, to a maximum
equal to your Charisma Modifier.
As an action, you can detect all Undead within the same
range, without spending a Blood point.
Unearthly Will
At 13th level, your vampiric will is stronger than most mortals
can comprehend. You gain proficiency in Wisdom saving
throws and you have advantage on saving throws against
being frightened or charmed. In addition, you are immune to
effects that would turn undead.
Night Cloak
At 14th level, you can summon bats to shield and hide you. As
a bonus action, you can spend 4 Blood Points to summon a
swarm of bats from the darkest reaches of the night. These
bats grant you temporary hit points equal to twice your level
plus your Charisma modifier. While you have these
temporary hit points, all attacks have disadvantage against
you, and you gain a plus 10 bonus to Stealth checks.
Once you use this feature, you cannot use it again until you
finish a short or long rest.
Undaunted Shadowalker
At 18th level, your connection with the Shadowfell draws
darkness towards you. During your long rest, the area around
you for five miles begins to become overcast, as if you had
cast Control Weather. A deep gloom settles over the land, and
all outside light is dim, allowing you to walk freely during the
day without gaining any levels of exhaustion. If you leave this
5 mile area, the gloom and clouds disperse after 3 hours and
the sunlight returns.
Other effects:
There’s a noticeable increase in the populations of bats,
rats, and wolves in the region.
Plants within the 5 mile radius wither, and their stems
and branches become twisted and thorny. The closer you
are to the center of the radius, the more withered plants
become.
Shadows cast within the 5 mile radius seem abnormally
gaunt and sometimes move as though alive. The shadows
become more active closer to the center of the 5 mile
radius.
A creeping fog clings to the ground within 5 miles of the
vampire’s resting place. The fog occasionally takes eerie
forms, such as grasping claws and writhing serpents. The
fog shifts more often as you approach the center of the 5
mile radius.
If you are killed or leave the 5 mile radius, these effects end
after 1d4 days.
Vampire Lord
At 20th level, you gain the ability to unleash your full power as
a Master Vampire upon your foes. Your Strength, Dexterity
and Constitution scores increase to 18 if they are not already
higher.
Once per day as an action, you gain the following benefits
for 1 minute:
You gain a flying speed of 60 ft.
You regain 10 hit points at the start of each turn, provided
that you have at least 1 hit point. If you take Radiant
damage, this trait does not function until the start of your
next turn.
Your unarmed strikes (including your bite) deal an
additional d8 necrotic damage.
As a bonus action on each of your turns, you may choose
one creature within 60 feet of you. That creature must
succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or be charmed by you
until this effect ends. A charmed creature will regard you
as a friend and do its best not to harm you or your allies. If
you or your companions deal damage to that creature, it
can repeat the saving throw, ending the effect on a
success. If someone attempts to use Greater Restoration
or similar magic to cure the charmed effect, they must roll
a spellcasting ability check against your Blood Point DC.
If they succeed, the charmed effect ends and that creature
is immune to all your attempts to charm them for 24
hours.

Transformation with Vampire Lord at 20th level. You can
transform into a Creature a number of times per day equal to
your Charisma modifier.
Once you use all uses of this feature, you can't use it again
until you finish a long rest.

you Frighten all creatures in a 30 foot radius. These
creatures make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the

The Count
Counts' Die
At 3rd level, you gain a die known as a Counts' Die. The
Counts' Die starts at a d4, which increases as you level up in
this class. By spending a Blood Point on your turn, you can
add or subtract the Counts' die to any roll as a reaction. You
must do this after seeing the roll, but before hearing the
results. You can do this a number of times per day equal to
your Charisma Modifier.
Your Counts' Die increases to a d6 at 7th level, a d8 at 11th
level, a d10 at 15th level, and a d12 at 19th level.
“This feature is more effective if you
count "1-2-3" before rolling your
Counts' Die.”

The Batty Bat

At 7th level, when you use the Children of the Night Blood
Pool feature to summon at least 1 swarm of Bats, you have
advantage on Dexterity Saving throws for as long as the
swarm is present.
At 14th level, while Night Cloak is active, you gain
resistance to all damage except radiant and psychic.
Personal Thundercloud
At 11th level, your personal thundercloud manifests above
you. Whenever you use your Counts' Die to the detriment of
other creatures, you can spend an additional Blood Point to
make a ranged spell attack and cause thunder or lightning
damage (your choice when you use this feature) equal to the
roll of the Counts' Die + Your Charisma Modifier to that
creature.
When you do this, the creature makes a Constitution
saving throw. On a failed save against your Thunder damage,
they are deafened. On a failed save against your Lightning
damage, they are blinded. Both effects last until the end of the
targets next turn.
On a successful saving throw against either damage, the
secondary effect does not occur and the target only takes half
damage.
“A bat once told me that if you say "AH
AH AH!" before making this spell attack,
you are more likely to score a critical
hit.”

Arithmomania
At 17th level, you can cast a modified version of Irresistible
Dance. The target is compelled to count any small objects
(such as marbles or blades of grass) in the vicinity for the
duration of the spell.

“I'll tell you a tale of Vampirates,
A tale as old as true.
Yea, I'll sing you a song of an ancient ship,
And its mighty fearsome crew.
Yea, I'll sing you a song of an ancient ship,
That sails the oceans blue...
That haunts the oceans blue.”

effects on your attacks, up to a maximum number of BP

The Host
“The feasting and revelry would last for
weeks at a time.
Great stone tables were set with such an abundance of rare
delicacies that we would stuff ourselves until the exotic
became mundane. When the lavish spread began to spoil, a
ravenous gourmand gleefully proposed that we sample from
the fetid pile of composting refuse! The notion was dismissed
as decidedly unhealthy. But days later, he was found cackling
madly atop a heap of rancid comestibles, licking his fingers in
delight.” ~ The Ancestor, Darkest Dungeon: Crimson Curse.
Crimson Curse
At 3rd level, when you select this title, at the end of a long
rest, you can select a number of willing creatures equal to
your Charisma modifier (minimum of one creature). These
creatures gain the following effects until you take a long rest.
Disadvantage on saving throws against Stuns and
Poisons.
They roll 1 fewer hit dice when rolling to recover Hit
Points.

Love Letter
At 11th level, when you hit a creature with your natural

or suffer one of the following effects (your choice):
The target must use its reaction to move up to its speed
and make a melee attack against another creature of your
choice that you can see.
The target must use its reaction to move up to its speed in
a direction of your choice, provoking opportunity attacks
along the way. This movement cannot force the creature
to move into immediate danger, such as walking off a cliff
or into a fire.
The egg infects the target’s body for 1 minute, at the end of
which it hatches, bursting in a horrendous display of blood
and viscera. Each creature within 15 feet of the target has to
make a Dexterity saving throw, taking 4d8 necrotic damage
on a failed save, or half as much on a successful one. The
target of Love Letter fails this saving throw automatically.
The egg hatches automatically if the target dies before the
minute transpires.

Charisma modifier (a minimum of once). You regain all
expended uses when you finish a long rest.

The Mindful (UA)
Psionic Talent (UA)
At 3rd level, you harbor a wellspring of psionic power within
yourself, an energy that ebbs and flows as you channel it in
various ways. This power is represented by your Psionic
Talent die, the starting size of which is a d6.
Psionic Talent Options. You can use your Psionic Talent
die in the following ways:
Mind Siphon. When you deal damage with your Bite
attack, you can choose to deal deal Psychic damage
instead of Necrotic Damage.
Psi-Domination. When you force a creature to make an
Intelligence, Wisdom or Charisma Saving throw, you can
roll your Psionic Talent die and subtract the number from
the creatures’ roll.
Dream Eater. You can cast Sleep once per day by
spending a Blood Point.
Changing the Die’s Size. If you roll the highest number on
your Psionic Talent die, it decreases by one die size after the
roll. This represents you burning through your psionic energy.
For example, if the die is a d6 and you roll a 6, it becomes a
d4. If it’s a d4 and you roll a 4, it becomes unusable until you
finish a long rest. Conversely, if you roll a 1 on your Psionic
Talent die, it increases by one die size after the roll, up to its
starting size. This represents you conserving psionic energy
for later use. For example, if you roll a 1 on a d4, the die
becomes a d6.
Whenever you finish a long rest, your Psionic Talent die
resets to its starting size. When you reach certain levels in
this class, the starting size of your Psionic Talent die
increases: at 7th level (d8), 11th level (d10), and 17th level
(d12).
Psi Replenishment. As a bonus action, you can calm your
mind for a moment and restore your Psionic Talent die to its
starting size. You then can’t use Psi Replenishment again
until you finish a long rest.
Mind Over Matter
At 7th level, your Psionic powers constantly keep you afloat
several inches above the floor. You have immunity to
knockback and the prone condition and you can cast Levitate
on yourself at will.
Your claws rend through the very mindscape of your prey.
When you use your unarmed strike with your Claws, you can
roll your Psionic Talent die and add the result as Psychic
damage.

Consumed Knowledge
At 11th level, when you feed on a creature, you temporarily
tap into the knowledge base that the creature possesses. You
get a brief glimpse of the creature’s thoughts and memories,
as if it had failed a saving throw against the Detect Thoughts
spell. When you do this, choose one of the following;
You gain proficiency in a skill that the creature knows; if
you already have proficiency, you gain expertise (double
your modifier).
You learn 1 language that the creature knows. If the
creature does not know a language, you cannot select this
trait. If the creature cannot speak but know a language,
you can communicate with them as if using the Telepathy
spell.
You relive the life of the creature for the last 8 hours as if
you were experiencing them through your own senses in
one minute.
This feature lasts until you take a long or short rest. You
can only benefit from one Consumed Knowledge at a time;
when you feed on another creature, if you choose to benefit
from this feature again, the previous benefit that you had is
replaced by the one you just chose.
Soul Eater
At 17th level, you can absorb the life force of nearby
creatures. As an action, you choose a number of creatures
you can see within 30 feet of you. These targets make an
Intelligence saving throw, with disadvantage if you have
previously hit them with your Bite attack.
On a failed save, the targets take 8d8 psychic damage, and
you recover 1 Blood Point for each creature that fails this
saving throw.
You gain temporary Hit Points equal to half the damage a
single creature takes from this feature; calculate these
temporary Hit Points using the creature that took the most
damage. You lose any remaining temporary Hit Points after 1
minute.

throw or become charmed by you for the duration. On a
failed save, the charmed target regards you as a trusted
friend to be heeded and protected.
Although the target isn't under your direct control, it takes
your requests or actions in the most favorable way it can. You
can issue any command you choose, short of an activity that
would result in certain death. Should you issue a suicidal
command, the control ends. Your Thrall is a willing target for
your Bite attack. You do not have to spend a BP on Bite
against your Thralls. The effect lasts 24 hours, until you are
killed or knocked unconscious, are on a different plane of
existence than the target, or you take a bonus action to end
the effect. A remove curse, greater restoration, or wish spell

Thrall, you can telepathically send them commands from up

to act normally and awaits your return until the effect wears
off, having only a hazy memory of who you are and what
happened to them.

against a lower CR target; the duration increases to 10 days
with 3 BP, to 30 days with 6 BP, to 180 days with 9 BP, to a
year and a day with 12 BP, and it becomes permanent with
18 BP and can only be removed by the spells named above.

you permanently create a new Thrall, you may create a new
one. You may have a maximum number of Thralls equal to
your Charisma Modifier.

Choose up to three corpses of Medium or Small
humanoids within range. For each Blood Point you spend
using this feature, each corpse becomes a ghoul under your
control. (The GM has game statistics for these creatures.) As
a bonus action on each of your turns, you can mentally
command any creature you animated with this feature if the
creature is within 120 feet of you (if you control multiple
creatures, you can command any or all of them at the same
time, issuing the same command to each one). You decide
what action the creature will take and where it will move
during its next turn, or you can issue a general command,
such as to guard a particular chamber or corridor. If you issue
no commands, the creature only defends itself against hostile
creatures. Once given an order, the creature continues to
follow it until its task is complete. The creature is under your
control for 1 hour, after which it stops obeying any command
you have given it. To maintain control of the creature for
another hour, you must spend an additional Blood point on
the creature before the current hour-long period ends. This
use of the feature reasserts your control over up to three
creatures you have animated with this feature, rather than
animating new ones.
Summon Lesser Undead
Prerequisites: 5th Level
Blood Cost: 1
Choose a pile of bones or a corpse of a Medium or Small
humanoid within range. Your blood imbues the target with a
foul mimicry of life, raising it as an undead creature. The
target becomes a skeleton if you chose bones or a zombie if
you chose a corpse (the GM has the creature’s game
statistics). On each of your turns, you can use a bonus action
to mentally command any creature you made with this
feature if the creature is within 60 feet of you (if you control
multiple creatures, you can command any or all of them at
the same time, issuing the same command to each one). You
decide what action the creature will take and where it will
move during its next turn, or you can issue a general
command, such as to guard a particular chamber or corridor.
If you issue no commands, the creature only defends itself
against hostile creatures. Once given an order, the creature
continues to follow it until its task is complete. The creature
is under your control for 1 hour, after which it stops obeying
any command you’ve given it. To maintain control of the
creature for another hour, you must expend additional Blood
Points on the creature again before the current hour-long
period ends. This use of the feature reasserts your control
over up to four creatures you have animated with this feature,
rather than animating a new one.
