Vampire, Variant (5e Class)

Vampire

You are a monster, plain and simple. Once living, you either became the victim, willing or otherwise, of another vampire, and won your freedom, or you sought out the rituals to make yourself into what you are (from a merchant, dungeon, or learnt from witches/high level magic users). Whatever the reason, you no longer draw breath, and find yourself hungering for the taste of mortal lifeblood. Whatever you came from, you are no longer what you were. The touch of the sun on your bare skin sears your flesh like flame, and you find yourself fighting against the urges inside yourself that constantly call for satisfaction. Adventuring Vampires are those that have either become vampires independent of a master vampire, or has escaped the control of their creator vampire. They are amazingly capable fighters, moving in and out of combat, drawing from their victims the very life energy they hunger for, fuelling their undeath.

Creating a Vampire

When making a vampire character, consider how you first became a vampire. Where you an experiment for some mad wizard, did you seek the power yourself or where you taken in as a pet for some vampire lord? How did you gain your freedom, did you steal blood from your master or find another way to break their control? What lead your character to become and adventurer, to escape his/her past or perhaps find a cure? Work with your DM to set up a story on your characters rite of passage to the realm of undeath and speak with your party members to see if they would like to travel with a vampire. As far as backgrounds go it is up to you to pick a background more suited to your characters history.

Vampire Save DC

Vampire Ability Save DC = 8+ your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier

Child of the Night

Vampires appear just as they did in life, although their skin is often pale and cool to the touch, also their features are often hardened and feral, with the predatory look of wolves. Vampires can be easily recognised, for they cast no shadows and throw no reflections in mirrors. Starting at 1st level, you gain the following benefits and disadvantages.

-Your creature type becomes undead.

-You don't need to breathe, which means you are immune to suffocation.

-You don't age and can't be magically aged.

-Unlike most undead, you do need to sleep. When you take a long rest, you must spend at least two hours in an inactive, motionless state, rather than sleeping. (You must also either be standing straight up, but vampires prefer to hang vertically.) In this state, you appear inert, but it doesn’t render you unconscious, and you can see and hear as normal.

-You have darkvision of 60ft, If you already have darkvision instead increase it by 30ft.

-You have resistance to necrotic damage.

- You are immune to disease.

-Sunlight Sensitivity You have disadvantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight when you, the target of your attack, or whatever you are trying to perceive is in direct sunlight.

-You have vulnerability to radiant damage.

-If you end your turn in direct sunlight and lack a protective covering such as a cloak or other heavy clothing, you take Half your level(rounded up) in radiant damage from the sunlight. If you drop below 1 hit point from this damage, you are instantly killed and reduced to dust. Only a true resurrection or wish spell can revive you.

-If you are splashed with a large amount of Holy water, you must make a Dc 15 con saving throw. On a fail you take 2d10 Acid damage and are stunned untill the beginning of your next turn. If you succeed you take half damage.

-You are not allowed to enter a residence without invitation from the occupants.

-If a piercing weapon made of wood is driven into your heart while you are incapacitated, you are paralyzed until the stake is removed.

Bloodlust Hunger

Starting at 1st level, as an undead creature, you gain power and strength when you drink the blood of other creatures. A gnawing hunger burns within your body and spirit, tempting you to descend into feral madness, if not properly maintained.

You start with 3 Crimson points and gain more as you level. These points are use to empower your abilities or let you use stronger attacks. You regain spent crimson points by feeding on living creatures. Depending on there size you regain different amounts of crimson points.

-As a bonus action, you can make a bite attack against the target to perform a quick lesser version of your Feed ability, this attack uses Strength or Dexterity to hit and deals 1d4 Piercing damage and 1d6 Necrotic damage. Ths attack is considered a natural weapon attack, and you are considered to be proficient with it. With a successful Bite you can regain crimson points depending on the size of the creature.

• Small creatures replenish 1 crimson point, and double if they are killed in this way.
• Medium creatures replenish 2 crimson points, and double if they are killed in this way.
• Large creatures replenish 4 crimson points, and double if they are killed in this way.
• Huge creatures replenish 8 crimson points, and double if they are killed in this way.

This attack has no effect on constructs, elementals, oozes and undead. The Necrotic damage for this attack increases as you level, 2d6 Necrotic at 6th level, 3d6 Necrotic at 13th level, 4d6 Necrotic at 18th level.

Vampiric reflexes

At 8th level, You gain an additional 10ft of movement. You can also now use the spell "Misty Step" out of combat at will. While in combat, you can use it at the cost of 4 Crimson points.

At 10th level, Your instinctive agility lets you dodge out of the way of certain area effects, such as a blue dragon's Lightning breath or a fireball spell. When you are subjected to an effect that allows you to make a Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage, you instead take no damage if you succeed on the saving throw, and only half damage if you fail. You also get a permenent boost to your ac as long as you are using your Unarmored ac formula. This Bonus is a +1.

Once mortal

-Gain three Proficencies with a type of weapon or armor or with a skill or with a tool/instrument of your choice.

-You can use Dexterity instead of Strength for the attack and damage rolls of your unarmed strikes.

-When you make a melee weapon attack, you can use your vampire unarmed strike instead of using a weapon which deals 1d4 slashing damage, this damage increases to 1d6 at 6th level, this damage increases to 1d8 at 10th level and 1d10 at 17th.

-When you hit a creature with an unarmed strike on your turn, you can use a bonus action to attempt to grapple the target.

Extra Attack

Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the attack action on your turn, this increases to three times at 11th level.

Hidden Might

You cannot use this feature if you are reduced to 0 hit points by radiant damage or by a critical hit.

Children of the Night

Starting at 14th level you can as an action spending 4 Crimson Points magically call 2d4+1 swarms of bats or rats, provided that the sun isn't up. While outdoors, you can call 3d6+1 wolves instead. The called creatures arrive in 1d4 rounds, acting as your allies and obeying your spoken commands. The beasts remain for 1 hour, until you die, or until you dismiss them as a bonus action. While the summoned creatures are within 30ft of you their attacks are treated as magical for the purpose for overcoming magical resistance and they gain a bonus to attack and damage rolls equal to your charisma modifier.

To your eyes, a Medium or smaller creature gives off life force sufficient to provide bright illumination in a 30-foot radius, revealing itself and all features and objects in range to your life-adapted sight. This life-light behaves like regular light—you can’t see into solid objects, or past solid walls.

This life sense does not work on Constructs, Elementals and Undead.

On a failed save, the target becomes charmed by you for the duration. The charmed target is incapacitated and unaware of its surroundings, though it can still hear you. If it takes any damage or is targeted by another spell, this effect ends, and none of the target's memories are modified. While this charm lasts, you can affect the target's memory of an event that it experienced within the last 24 hours and that lasted no more than 10 minutes. You can permanently eliminate all memory of the event, allow the target to recall the event with perfect clarity and exacting detail, change its memory of the details of the event, or create a memory of some other event. You must speak to the target to describe how its memories are affected, and it must be able to understand your language for the modified memories to take root. Its mind fills in any gaps in the details of your description. If the effect ends before you have finished describing the modified memories, the creature's memory isn't altered. Otherwise, the modified memories take hold when the effect ends. A modified memory doesn't necessarily affect how a creature behaves, particularly if the memory contradicts the creature's natural inclinations, alignment, or beliefs. An illogical modified memory, such as implanting a memory of how much the creature enjoyed dousing itself in acid, is dismissed, perhaps as a bad dream. The GM might deem a modified memory too nonsensical to affect a creature in a significant manner. A remove curse or greater restoration spell cast on the target restores the creature's true memory.

As a bonus action on each of your turns, you can mentally command any creature you animated with this spell 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 24 hours, after which it stops obeying any command you have given it. To maintain control of the creature for another 24 hours, you must cast this spell on the creature before the current 24-hour period ends. This use of the spell reasserts your control over up to three creatures you have animated with this spell, rather than animating new ones.

Spell Casting Ability: Charisma is your spell casting ability for your vampire spells, since the power of your magic relies on your ability to manipulate the power of life to project your will into the world.

Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier

Master Of The Mind

However some of these individuals end up living amounst druids and other fey and learn to use their power to defend the lands from those who would destroy it, of course these is all just a way to feed with out being harassed by adventurers.
