Of course I would also add that they must now feed on blood instead of food or gain starvation conditions as per usual, and if a vampire starves until they reach the max exhaustion level then they permanently die. That would be the base template, then make feats that a vampire could take based off of the vampire stat block abilities: shapechanger, misty escape, enhanced regeneration, charm, children of the night. A character turned vampire gains some of the strengths and weaknesses of a vampire spawn and may gain specific feats of higher vampire abilities.Ī vampire spawn in the book has undead type, natural armor (12+dex), damage resistances, darkvision 60 ft., regeneration (10 hp), spider climb, vampire weaknesses, claws, and bite.
The approach I've worked on is to simply apply the relevant qualities of whatever template to characters if such things arise in game, and use feat taxes to balance out stronger abilities. As a long time player of 3e which was lousy with templates, I've also been curious how other people handle things like vampires, lycanthropy, or liches. I've been thinking about templates a lot lately as my PCs are in conflict with a vampire lord right now.
