Vampire Traits

Whether through birth, or unlikely infection, you are an otherwise human carrier of the Umbravirales plague, and gain the following traits and malformations.    Ability Score Increase. Your Constitution score increases by 2.   Age. Those affiliated by Umbravirales-Sanguinem seem immune to the normal process of cell-death, and are functionally immortal so long as they remain regular blood transfusions.   Size. Although often slightly taller than their relatives, Infected individuals tend towards the same range of height as normal humans. Your size is medium   Speed. The Sanguinem mutation often grants a level of unseemly quickness to the afflicted in their adult years. Your speed is 40 feet.   Alignment. Despite unfounded rumours to the contrary, those affected be the mutation have no innate leaning towards evil, or any other alignment.   Transfusion. The most devastating ailment that the Sanguinem mutation bestows is a severe anaemia such that the afflicted becomes reliant on regular transfusions. You cannot regain hit points as usual during a short or long rest, and must receive at minimum 1 pint of fresh blood each day or suffer a level of exhaustion. Perhaps by work of Adam Virus, Umbravirales-Sanguinem provides mechanism for this transfusion by way of hypodermic fangs within the jaw of the afflicted.   You gain a natural weapon in the form of a bite with which you are proficient. Your bite is considered a finesse weapon, and deals necrotic damage equal to 1d6 + your strength or dexterity modifier (whichever is higher), and drains 4 ounces of blood from the target, using your choice of dexterity or strength for it’s attack and damage rolls. If the target of your bite attack is not a construct, plant, ooze, or undead this damage reduces it’s maximum hit points by the same amount until the end of it’s next short or long rest, and you may spend a hit dice and recover hit points equal to it’s rolled value + your constitution modifier. Alternatively, you may choose to bite a willing creature, draining blood from their body. The target takes no damage, but instead spends hit dice as they would during a short rest, gaining no hit points. Any hit points the target would normally gain by spending hit dice in this way you gain instead. You drain 1 pint of blood for each hit dice spent.   Sunlight Sensitivity. You have disadvantage on attack rolls and on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight when you, the target of your attack, or whatever you are trying to perceive is in bright light. In addition, you take 1 radiant damage each round while your skin is exposed to direct sunlight.   Radiant Aversion. Your body is weakened by even relatively low doses of radiant energy. You have vulnerability to radiant damage, and take damage from healing spells with a radiant source equal to the hit points they would normally restore.   Darkvision. A lifetime of avoiding the light has adapted your vision to the dark. You can see in dim light within 120 feet as if it were bright light and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can’t discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.   Sleepless. Whatever mutation the disease causes within the brain and body, it seems that those afflicted do not require rest in the same way as normal humans. You do not require sleep, so long as you have received a transfusion of at least 1 pint of blood in the past 24 hours.   Blood Sense. The disease has made you acutely aware of the flow of blood, even within other creatures. You can sense the presence and location of all creatures within 30 ft which have flowing blood.   Sanguine Affinity. Something dark and powerful flows within your blood. You gain one of the Blood Feats listed on the following page, regardless of any prerequisites.   Unnatural Ability. Your specific incarnation of Umbravirales-Sanguinem has heightened some aspect of your body or mind. Choose either Strength, Dexterity, or Charisma. Your ability score for this ability increases by 2.

Languages. You can Speak, Read, and Write Common and one other language of your choice.
