Vampyr as a Playable Race?

[Mangrum]

Technically, you can't have a dhampir vampire. When the dhampir dies, it trades the former template for the latter.

[Rotipher of the FoS]

Darn, ya got me! Yes, the dhampir template would be lost 1d4 nights after the creature dies. So, I guess you can't stack four different vampire-type conditions on top of one another...

...at least, not for long. But what if a dhampir is killed by a nosferatu's Constitution-drain, on the night before the full moon, and the DM's d4 roll comes up 4?

For three nights, by the letter of the rules, the templates would stack. So, for that brief window of time, you could -- technically, and just to be obnoxious -- have yourself a half-vampire dhampir nosferatu vampire vampyre!



Guess the sleep didn't help....

To carry the joke to an even sillier extent you could even give it a few Bloodline (vampire) levels from Unearthed Arcana.

[Rotipher of the FoS]

Come to think of it, you could stick the vorlog template in there too, if the nosferatu wasn't the first vampire to try to turn the critter.

Heh heh. So how many stacked vampire-type conditions is that, now? Seven? Anybody wanna try for eight?
