[QUOTE="Hawk Diesel, post: 8191337, member: 59848"] Huge disagree here. The number of times something can be performed absolutely matters when considering whether something is balanced. Unlimited fireball at 5th level is broken, but limiting to 2/day keeps it in line with other classes. This empowerment is similar to bless, bardic inspiration, and numerous others ways to get bonuses to attack or ability checks. It's a bit higher than some of those other options, but it's also the only one that can't be granted to someone else. That plus given the few uses per day and it seems anything but broken. As with the bit about advantage, that's not broken either. Any character build that would benefit would need to be one that is comfortable being on the front line and preferring Con to Str, or at least those scores being relatively equal. That means they are giving up a d8, d10, or d12 type weapon to gain situational advantage while vulnerable due to lower health. And the bite doesn't qualify for sneak attack, so it wouldn't even benefit the one class that might be most likely to try and take advantage of it. The advantage granted by the Dhampir's bite is not broken. It's situational and a gimmick at best. [/QUOTE]
