(temporary) every round that the grapple is maintained.Children of the night: 1/day a Dhampir can summon forth 2d8 Dire Rats, 8d10 Bats, or 1d6 wolves as a standard action.  They take 2d6 rounds to arrive and will serve for up to one hour.  [at 7th and 8th level increase each amount by one extra die]Special Qualities -Damage Reduction: 4/magic [increases to 5 at 7th, and 6 at 8th]Resistance: cold 10, electricity 10Spider Climb: Can climb sheer surfaces as the Spider Climb spell at will, caster level 12.Fast Healing: Heal 1 hitpoint every 3 rounds as long as they are not reduced to -10 hit points.  [increases to every 2 rounds at 7th, and every round at 8th]Weaknesses -Blood Requirement: Must feed on at least 5 Con. worth of humanoid blood a week or they act as if they are in natural sunlight at all times until feeding again.  Very every week beyond the first that they do not feed reduce all abilities by 1/3rd until they act as a normal racial character after a month without feeding.Vulnerability to Sunlight: In the presence of natural sunlight a Dhampir cannot use any of the abilities listed under Special Attacks and Special Qualities.  Natural Sunlight cannot be avoided by layering on clothing, but going indoors is sufficient to avoid it if they keep out of any direct rays shining in.So......as everyone starts as a 6th level character anyone making a Dhampir would have to gain 3 levels before they could begin taking levels as a normal character.  I've changed the rules slightly as they were listed in Denizens of the Dark to make them a little more balanced (lower Damage reduction mainly, and better clairified their weaknesses).I'm only allowing one of these in the party...so I'm going to assume Salzorin wants to take one for now until he tells me otherwise.Phew...going to take a shower now, all this information gathering makes me sweaty <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/laugh.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing    :lol:" data-shortname=":lol:" />.</blockquote>
