I like the build quite a bit. The only thing I don’t like is ray of frost and fireball on his list of spells. I would swap bray of frost out for minor illusion. Not sure what to replace fireball with. I would change the darkness ability to weather control making the skies overcast and the option for rain and thunderstorms. This is way better than I would have done. This is very very cool.

now what would can helsing’s build be like. His group must have been badass to take Dracula and his minions out.

I was soon thinking of a Curse of Strahd-esque campaign except more deadly. Maybe I've found my BBEG?

The sidebar says he can summon many many creatures...

...but I don't see any such abilities in his write up?

That's on other pages—but you can find his full statistics in the original post in the Mythological Figures column
(he can summon 2d4 vampire spawn 3/day, and then 2d4 bat/rat swarms, 3d6 wolves, or 2d4 dire wolves 3/day—something like 15 spawn and then also as many dire wolves or swarms, or ~31 wolves)

Edit: Not all at once mind you!

Strahd and all other vampires of Western ilk are based on Dracula aren't they?

Um, not necessarily. Looks over at Varney and Lord Ruthven...

I had no idea these existed! Probably because "Varney the Vampire" hasn't aged well as a title? That's wild though!

I remember Varney. He had one Fang. His master made him keep in shirt pocket. Because well he was Varney.

He was a galvanising fellow, quite hideous though not as bloated as his elders
