[QUOTE="Stalker0, post: 8492719, member: 5889"] My notes: [LIST] [*]CR feels low to me. My look at the Cr calculator puts this at CR6, and I think a 5 or 6 is definitely appropriate. The combination of regeneration, damage resistance, and bonus action dash with high speed, creates a creature that in smart hands could absolutely wreck a low level party. [*]I think telekinesis is a weird ability for the "base" vampire. While that is definately a power some vampires have in lore, I don't consider it normal for the "stock" vampire. I'm ok with it at higher tiers. [*]The limited charm has a weirdly low DC for its CR.
