Dhampir

Dhampirs are the offspring of vampires and mortal races. Doomed to a fate of exile, they are reviled by the living and the undead alike. Dhampirs resemble their mortal parent the most, save for a pale and bloodless pallor, long incisors, and eyes so light their pupils seem mere pinpricks.
Like vampires, dhampirs are healed by negative energy and harmed by the positive. They have darkvision.
The circumstances surrounding a dhampir’s birth are rare, complex, and often shrouded in horrific rumors stoked by societal revulsion at the idea of an undead monstrosity producing mortal offspring. Some dhampirs are the child of one mortal and one vampiric parent, while others are born to those who were turned into vampires while pregnant.
Still others rise from dark rituals or other supernatural influences that impose a vampiric curse onto a mortal infant. The life of a dhampir is often difficult: few vampiric parents have the time or inclination to raise a mortal child, while mortal communities find a dhampir’s sallow flesh, piercing eyes, and unnerving presence off-putting at best.
Despite being living creatures, dhampirs respond to positive and negative energy as if they were undead, making them unwelcome in many holy communities and often driving them toward necromantic arts. Dhampirs aren’t immortal, but age far more slowly than most mortals, with a lifespan similar to that of an elf. Dhampirs have difficulty producing children of their own, and those few born to a dhampir are never dhampirs themselves. The state of being a dhampir is still a medical mystery with few willing to out themselves for science.
