[QUOTE="AbeTheGnome, post: 3275998, member: 47933"] absolutely pilferable. thanks for your criticism. i was wondering if anyone was ever going to respond. you can check out the earlier versions of the dark elf a few threads back, but they just didn't capture the flavor i was going for. i didn't even think about the bonuses that outsiders get when i assigned them to it. do aasimar and tieflings get those goodies too? what if i changed "blood each day from a living creature" to "blood each day from a living, intelligent creature?" the CON drain is not necessary for the flavor, but the temporary hit points are, i think. unless i just changed it to direct hit point transfer or something... this was the only vampiric ability i can find in the SRD (except for level drain, and that's just off the charts for LA), and i don't feel comfortable giving them an ability that's completely unprecedented. hmm... i don't want to nerf it this bad, but if i drop blood drain/blood lust, would that make it an LA+2? how else could i achieve a lower LA? EDIT: as a precedent for this, i used the fey'ri from Races of Faerun. i think i actually toned things down from that race ([I]alter self at will[/I]!), which was an LA+2, but i think that that race may be broken anyway...
