Message: <blockquote data-quote="Salzorin" data-source="post: 1625808" data-attributes="member: 20722">the downsides to going dhampir, just so it doesn't appear as advantageous as some of the numbers make it seem:1. I can't gain a level in a class until level 9 because of the 8 level adjustment. Which means while my abilities are rather good I don't get very many skills to go along with them. I'm naturally tough, but I like the training a class offers.2. Sunlight. I lose my damage reduction and my regeneration in natural sunlight, as well as my ability to charm via Domination, my children of the night summoning ability, spider climb, resistance, and the bonus slam attack I receive.3. Feeding. I have to find food sources, keep my cover and do it in such a way that I don't provoke Power checks. If I don't feed within a week I lose all of my abilities as with sunlight, but the stat bonuses I receive normally begin to deteriorate.4. I have to remain unknown. Whereas everyone else doesn't have to hide their heritage... if the community were to find out about me, I would be burned at the stake or run out of town... which brings up an issue, that despite my supernatural power, I can't really use it freely in fear that people would become too suspicious. So even though I can push an object that weighs over a ton... if someone were to see me do something like that, I'd be in a lot of trouble.I know the stats look intimidating... but look at my to hit bonuses on my different attacks. They're equivalent to that of our fighter. Yes, I have a 19,18,17,16 and 15 point stat.... but I can't cast spells, I can't track, I lack a lot of skills, even though I excel heavily at the few skills I do know. I think you'll like the character a little bit more after I finish my background... it's rather interesting and offers a few more interesting dynamics regarding my Outcast rating.</blockquote>
