Actions
Blood Swarm. Spell attack. +6 to hit. One target, 5 ft. Hit: 6 (1d6 + 3) piercing damage plus 7 (2d6) necrotic damage. The target's hit point maximum is reduced by an amount equal to the necrotic damage taken, and the vampire regains hit points equal to that amount. The reduction lasts until the target finishes a long rest. The target dies if this effect reduces its hit point maximum to 0. Possession (Recharge 6). One humanoid that the vampire can see within 5 feet of it must succeed on a DC 13 Charisma saving throw or be possessed by the vampre; the vampire then disappears, and the target is incapacitated and loses control of its body. The vampire now controls the body but doesn't deprive the target of awareness. The vampire can't be targeted by any attack, spell, or other effect, except ones that turn undead, and it retains its alignment, Intelligence, Wisdom, Charisma, and immunities. The target does gain the weaknesses of the vampire. It otherwise uses the possessed target's statistics, but doesn't gain access to the target's knowledge, class features, or proficiencies. The possession lasts until the body drops to 0 hit points, the vampire ends it as a bonus action, or the vampire is turned or forced out by an effect like the dispel evil and good spell. When the possession ends, the vampire reappears in an unoccupied space within 5 feet of the body. The target is immune to this vampire's Possession for 24 hours after succeeding on the saving throw or after the possession ends.
