Born Hunter
Beginning at 1st level, the curse affects your body in other
ways.
Accustomed to moonless nights and dark catacombs, you
gain darkvision. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you
as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim
light. You can't discern colour in darkness, only shades of
grey. If you already have darkvision from your race, its range
extends by 60 feet instead.
Your teeth become natural weapons, which you can use to
make unarmed strikes with a reach of 5 feet. Your Bite attack
deals 1d6 + your Strength modifier piercing damage on a hit.
Drain Blood
You can drain the life force of others by draining their blood.
Beginning at 1st level, when you hit a creature with your Bite
attack, if it has blood, you can deal an additional 1d6 necrotic
damage to the target, reduce the target's maximum hit points
by that amount, and regain that many hit points. This damage
increases to 2d6 at 5th level, 3d6 at 11th level, and 4d6 at
17th level. (You can always choose for this damage to be
nonlethal, and if the loss of Hit Points would reduce a
creature to a Hit Point amximum of zero, you can leave them
with a Hit Point maximum of 1 instead.)
Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you
finish a long rest.
Unarmoured Defense
Vampires are naturally resilient, and seldom bother with
armour. Also beginning at 1st level, while not wearing armour,
your AC equals 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your
Constitution modifier. You can't use a shield and gain this
benefit.
Coagulating Essence
Beginning at 2nd level, you are learning how to master your
own body and blood. When you use your Drain Blood feature
to recover hit points from a humanoid or a creature which
could otherwise reasonably sustain you as per your Undead
Nature feature, you regain one Hit Die.
This increases to two Hit Dice at 11th level.
Sanguine Masteries
Also beginning at 2nd level, you are starting to explore your
potential as a vampire. You learn two Sanguine Masteries.
Many Saguine Masteries use your Hit Dice as a resource.
Your options are detailed at the end of the class description.
When you gain certain Vampire levels, you gain additional
Masteries of your choice, as shown in the Sanguine
Masteries column of the Vampire table.
Additionally, whenever you gain a level in this class, you
can choose one of the Masteries you know and replace it with
another Mastery you could learn at that level.
A number of your abilities enable you to cast spells, and/or
force targets to make saving throws. In either case, your
spellcasting modifier is Charisma, and you use your
Charisma to determine saving throw DCs.
VAMPIRE SAVE DC = 8 + your Charisma modifer + your
proficiency bonus
Vampiric Legacy
At 3rd level, you choose a Vampiric Legacy in which to
specialise. Choose either the Beguiler or Predator Legacy.
Your choice grants you features at 3rd level, and again at 6th,
11th, 15th and 20th levels.
Ability Score Increase
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th and
19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice
by 2, or two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you
can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

Hunger
Beginning at 7th level, you can use your Drain Blood feature
twice, instead of once.
Beastly
Beginning at 9th level, you can take on the form of your
unnatural servants. As an action, you can transform into a
wolf, a bat or a rat. The transformation lasts 1 hour. You can
revert to your normal form as an action. You gain the
Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Armour Class, Hit Points,
movement and senses of your new form. You cannot use your
Vampire abilities while in Beast Form. If you are reduced to 0
Hit Points in your Beast Form, you revert back to your
normal form.
You can use this feature twice, and regain the ability to use
it when you finish a long rest.
Return to the Earth
Beginning at 10th level, your curse keeps you bound to this
semblance of life. When you would be killed, you instead
discorporate into mist, and reform unconscious in the last
location you completed a long rest. You reawaken after 1d4
hours, or at the next sundown, whichever is longer. This
feature does not work if you are killed by radiant damage.
While unconcious in that location, you are naturally
vulnerable to being killed by a wooden stake.
Mind of the Hunter
Beginning at 13th level, your long experience in hunting and
manipulating others, and your detachment from mortal
needs, grants you the mindset to ignore most mental effects.
You gain proficiency in Wisdom saving throws. If you already
have proficiency in Wisdom saving throws, you gain
proficiency in Intelligence saving throws instead.
Feast
Beginning at 14th level, you can use your Drain Blood feature
three times, instead of twice.
The Eternal Regeneration
Beginning at 17th level, if you begin your turn with less than
half your Hit Points remaining, and have not taken radiant
damage since your last turn, you regain 10 Hit Points.
Flesh of Steel
Beginning at 18th level, you gain resistance to bludgeoning,
piercing, and slashing damage from non-magical weapons.

Vampiric Legacies
Different vampires choose different ways of interacting with
the world. Their choices lead them to specialise, leaning their
talents towards careful coexistence with humanoids around
them, or cruel domination of their prey.
Beguiler Legacy
Beguilers choose to use their vampiric influence to
manipulate and control others. They choose to manage their
feeding with carefully selected pools of 'volunteers', and the
more benevolent among them are even known to negotiate
deals with large populations in order to feed without needing
to kill. The territory of a beguiler is usually marked by a
surprisingly complacent populace, and monster hunters who
come to cleanse such places may find their own wits turned
against them... or the local populace they came to liberate.
Manipulator of Mortals
Beginning when you choose this legacy at 3rd level, you gain
the ability to direct the desires of others. As an action, choose
a humanoid or beast within 30 feet. It must make a Wisdom
saving throw against your Vampire Save DC. On a failed save,
it is charmed by you, regards you as a trusted friend, and will
follow your instructions as long as they are not directly
harmful. Additonally, while charmed in this way, it will permit
you to use your Bite attack and Drain Blood feature against it.
The charm lasts for 1 minute. Whenever you or your allies
deal damage to or cast spells on the target or the target's
allies, or try to force the target to do so to its allies, it can
repeat the saving throw, ending the effect on a success.
You can use this feature once, and regain the ability to use
it when you finish a short or longrest.
False Face
Also at 3rd level, specialise in talking (and lying) to your
mortal acquaintances. You gain proficiency in the Deception
and Persuasion skills. If you already have proficiency in
either skill, you may choose another skill from the Vampire
class list to gain proficiency in instead.
Self Study
Beguilers understand that self control is their greatest tool
for survival- if they cannot control themseleves, they will have
no control over others.
At 6th level, you may select and learn an additional
Sanguine Mastery. It does not count against the number of
Masteries you can know on the Sanguine Masteries column
of the Vampire table.
Willbreaker
To be a vampire is to be dominant. Beginning at 11th level,
once per turn when you hit a creature with a melee attack,
you can force it to make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed
save, it has disadvantage on the first attack roll and the first
ability check it makes on its next turn.
Additionally, you may use your Manipulator of Mortals
feature twice between rests, instead of once.
Blood Maestro
At 15th level, you may select a second additional Sanguine
Mastery to learn.
Master Beguiler
Beginning at 20th level, you can focus your willpower to
overwhelm your foes. As an action, you transform into your
ascended form, making your skin look ceramic and causing
your eyes to glow red. You gain the following benefits for one
minute:
As a bonus action on your turn, you can choose a creature
within 60 feet of you. It must make a Wisdom saving
throw. On a failed save, it is paralysed until your next turn.
Whenever a creature hits you with a melee attack, it takes
psychic damage equal to your Charisma modifier, as
mental punishment for its hubris
You can't be charmed, frightened, paralysed, put to sleep,
or stunned for the duration of your transformation. If you
were already affected by one or more of these conditions,
its effect is delayed until your transformation ends
You are immune to psychic damage
Predator Legacy
Predators do not interest themselves in the concerns of their
prey. They prefer to find safety and comfort in their own
physical prowess, mastering martial combat and using speed
and stealth to overpower their prey. The territory of a
predator is usually marked by unusual disappearances, and
monster hunters who come to cleanse these places with their
weapons often find such weaponry turned against them.
Way of the Blade
Beginning when you choose this legacy at 3rd level, you
choose to emphasise your superior speed and strength. You
can choose a fighting style as your speciality. Choose one of
the following options. You can't take a Fighting Style more
than once, even if you get to choose again.
Duelling. When you are wielding a melee weapon in one
hand and no other weapons, you gain a +2 bonus to damage
rolls with that weapon.
Great Weapon Fighting. When you roll a 1 or a 2 on a
damage die for an attack you make with a melee weapon that
you are wielding with two hands, you can reroll the die and
must use the new roll, even if the new roll is a 1 or a 2. The
weapon must have the two-handed or versatile property for
you to gain this benefit.
Two-Weapon Fighting. When you engage in two weapon
fighting, you can add your ability modifier to the damage of
the second attack.
Bloodhound
Also at 3rd level, you specialise in tracking your hapless prey.
You have advantage on Wisdom (Perception) and Wisdom
(Survival) checks that rely on smells, and can recognise and
track humanoids by scent alone.
Tightly Strung
Beginning at 6th level, are constantly alert and on edge. You
gain advantage on initiative rolls.
Bloodlust
To be a vampire is to revel in the hunger. Beginning at 11th
level, whenever you hit a creature with a critical hit, or reduce
a creature to 0 hit points with a melee attack on your turn,
you can use a bonus action to make a Bite attack.
Feral Resistance
Beginning at 15th level, you gain immunity to poison damage
and the poisoned condition.
Apex Predator
Beginning at 20th level, you can unleash your mastery of
blood to become a horrific visage of death. As an action, you
transform into your ascended form- a large, many-limbed
gory monstrosity. You gain the following benefits for one
minute:
Your size becomes Large, and your reach for melee
attacks is extended by 5 feet
Your melee attacks deal an additional 1d4 necrotic
damage on a hit
You can't be charmed, frightened, paralysed, put to sleep,
or stunned for the duration of your transformation. If you
were already affected by one or more of these conditions,
its effect is delayed until your transformation ends
You can make three attacks, instead of two, when you take
the Attack action on your turn

Sanguine Masteries
If a Sanguine Mastery has prerequisites, you must meet them
to learn it. You can learn a Sanguine Mastery at the same that
you meet the prerequisite for it.
Any spells or effects use Charisma as your casting modifer,
and use your Vampire save DC if appropriate. You can use a
holy symbol as a spellcasting focus, provided it is for a deity
not opposed to the nature of your undeath.
