This choice remains throughout your character's life.Followed the advise thus far, making perhaps too bold of changes in addition. I added Bloodhunt from the Tiefling. It just seemed my Vampire was missing that additional small boost other races had after the skill modifier, and Bloodhunt seems to fit like a snug, black lacy glove.I also followed it with Shadowy Origin, which I thought helped the race's ability to fit in other games by using that common cosmology. And I just thought it was cool hehe.Added Graveborn, a Necrotic resistance, though feeling it had to be balanced, as mentioned, with that Radiant vulnerability. Comparing this revised Blood Drain to Vampiric Embrace (warlock level 1 encounter power) , I think its a fair trade, balanced by the stipulation the target must be immobile, which can be gained through a successfully maintained grab, but also with unconscious or sleeping victims in keeping with flavor. It also does less damage than the encounter power. Let me know if you think it fair.For Overwhelming Gaze, I scaled it like Dragonbreath, had them designate a mental stat.Can't wait to hear the feedback and thank you all for the help.</blockquote>
