📋 About This Mod

Coven of the Underdark - Vampiric Drow Subrace

Deep in the Underdark exists a coven of vampires, spawned after its founders fled the sunlight of the surface. With their existence only known to a sacred few, the coven's growth has relied entirely on turning drow.

Introduction

Once again, this mod has been built around one of my OCs, so the design and abilities are primarily focused on her build with a few stolen touches from the in-game vampires and vampire spawn. Conceptually, these vampires are more powerful than the average drow, designed to fit with the idea a vampire spawn being stronger than its living counterpart.  If this isn't your cup of tea, I'd highly recommend one of the other vampire mods available as there's been a lot of thought put into each of them!

Balancing

Two unique passives have a toggle so you can turn them off/on as it suits your preferred difficulty and style.

Passives & Resources

Blood Bank - Resource used to cast subrace spells. Can be restored by feeding on humanoid creatures. Resets with Long Rest.

Dark Predator - Attack rolls made outside of sunlight have an advantage. (toggle on/off)

Healing Sleep - Once per long rest, when your HP drops to 0, you will enter a Death Rally for one turn before collapsing into a Coffin Drop for your following two turns. At the end of your rest, you reenter combat with half of your maximum HP.

  • []Death Rally: For the next two turns, your movement speed is increased by 50% and you are immune from all damage except Radiant. At the end of your turns, you will collapse into a Coffin Drop for two turns.

    []Coffin Drop: Once per long rest, after a Death Rally, you will fall asleep for two turns. While asleep, you are immune from all damage except Radiant and you will be restored to half of your maximum HP after awaking. You cannot be woken from this sleep prematurely.

Low on Blood - When your HP falls below 25% of your maximum, movement speed is halved and you receive -1 on attack and skill checks, along with a disadvantage on Saving Throws. This condition is removed when your HP passes the 25% threshold.

Vampiric Regeneration - You regain hit points at the start of your turn if you are not in sunlight, or have taken Radiant damage or damage from Holy Water, in which case this trait doesn't function until the start of your next turn. (5 hp at start, 10 hp at level 5, 20 hp at level 12; toggle on/off)
