Okay, so Khaalis has an great version he is using in his own campaign and it got me thinking of how I would want one for my home campaign and here's my first attempt. I borrowed heavily from his work, and then took some inspiration from both the 4e DMG's Vampire Lord Template and the Libris Mortis sourcebooks. Let me know what you all think.
edit: Based on initial feedback, here's version 2
Dhampir
In race circumstances, a vampire that has recently consumed a significant quantity of blood gains the ability to breed successfully with living humanoids or monstrous humanoids, creating Dhampir (half-vampire) offspring. Also, in the unusual case of a pregnant humanoid or monstrous humanoid who survives a vampire’s blood drain attack, the child may be born “tainted” by the attacker’s vampirism. Regardless of the origin, the children produced by such events are typically branded as outcasts, welcome neither among the living or the undead.
Dhampir’s are often physically attractive and persuasive. Their skin is pale, even ashen in color. Unlike their undead forebears who typically are of evil alignment(s), Dhampir pursue all alignments, though most tend toward unaligned or evil.
