The Dhampir Origins table provides suggestions for how your character gained their lineage. Dhampir Hungersĭhampirs often arise from encounters with vampires, but all manner of macabre bargains, necromantic influences, and encounters with mysterious immortals might have transformed your character. Roll on or choose an option from the Dhampir Hungers table to determine what tempts your character to feed. While many dhampirs thirst for blood, your character might otherwise gain sustenance from the living. In any case, temptation haunts dhampirs, and circumstances conspire to give them endless reasons to indulge.

Those who resist might find exceptional ways of controlling their urges or suppress them through constant, molar-grinding restraint. Those who overindulge their thirst risk losing control and forever viewing others as prey. Source: Van Richten's Guide to Ravenloft Dhampir HungersĮvery dhampir knows a thirst slaked only by the living. And still others embrace the solitude of the hunt, striving to distance themselves from those who’d tempt their hunger. Others pursue revenge against whatever turned them into a dhampir. Some seek danger, imagining monsters as personifications of their own hungers. With unique insights into the nature of the undead, many dhampirs become adventurers and monster hunters. Their ties to the undead grant dhampirs a taste of a vampire’s deathless prowess in the form of increased speed, darkvision, and a life-draining bite. Poised between the worlds of the living and the dead, dhampirs retain their grip on life yet are endlessly tested by vicious hungers.
