Spending centuries with their vampire forefathers it isn't unreasonable to expect some sort of resistance to a vampire's dominate ability - and again it was a suggestion based on a comment by Matrixryu.Thank you that's a good idea <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> - I also allow players to assign a single regional or culture feat at 1st level and the other "Tomb-born" feats could be tailored for this.Oh dear . . . if I say sorry again will that make you feel better? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />It wasn't my intention to waste anyone's time and as I've only had two people reply so far, one who appeared to understand what I meant and one who didn't, I'm not sure the evidence supports your hypothesis but I really do appreciate your efforts <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />I can see why you'd think this but I think your point of view is taking the vampire and then assuming the human part merely dilutes it down. For the Charisma penalty, that was intended to evoke the effect of the human part of the dhampir only seeing humans used as little more than food by the vampires and having a deep rooted distain for them which they still carry with them (please see the back story). Again to be fair I didn’t present the race as a perfect one but a draft that requires work to achieve balance. Based on the original write up it may have been marginally too strong, e.g. I don’t know what campaigns you play in but having the penalties of “light sensitivity“ applied when ever it isn’t night or characters are underground has a fairly major impact in our campaign.Thank you for the race summary which I’ll consider further. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Does any one else have any comments? Many thanks!</blockquote>
