Astarion's Book of Hungers

Description

This mod adds the backgrounds and their relevant feats from Astarion's Book of Hungers as well as a few additional backgrounds.

Main features

Vampire Devotee: You were in service to a vampire or a small group of vampires lairing together. The Undead drank your blood more times than you can count.

Vampire Survivor: You witnessed or survived a vampire attack. You remain vigilant for monster attacks and pride yourself on being ready for anything. No vampire will catch you or your allies by surprise again.

Carouser: You spent countless evenings in taverns, playhouses, parlors, and gambling dens, savoring all the city had to offer. You’re a natural at interacting with people to learn their secrets, whether over a high-stakes game or at a high-class soiree.

Bounty Hunter: You are a tracker, vigilante, or legal enforcer (thief-taker) who thrives on the hunt.

Mercenary: As a sell-sword who fought battles for coin, you're well acquainted with risking life and limb for a chance at a share of treasure. Now, you look forward to fighting foes and reaping even greater rewards as an adventurer.

Sailor: You lived as a seafarer, wind at your back and decks swaying beneath your feet. You've perched on barstools in more ports of call than you can remember, faced mighty storms, and swapped stories with folk who live beneath the waves.

Pirate: You spent your youth under the sway of a dread pirate, a ruthless cutthroat who taught you how to survive in a world of sharks and savages. You've indulged in larceny on the high seas and sent more than one deserving soul to a briny grave. Fear and bloodshed are no strangers to you, and you've garnered a somewhat unsavory reputation in many a port town.

A Note About the Backgrounds

A few of the backgrounds such as 'Vampire Survivor'  have some custom goals which I have not fully tested each custom goal due to the number of backgrounds. If anyone discovers that inspiration is not being awarded when it should be, please let me know so I can look into the issue. I do plan on including a method for those who want to see the inspiration goal mappings in the future. Also currently the backgrounds do not get any origin feats but I do plan to include this in the future.

Additionally, the following feats are added:

Vampire Hunter

Adroit Escape: You have Advantage on checks against being Restrained or Grappled.

Vitality Ward: When you take Necrotic damage, you can take a Reaction to mitigate the damage.

Vampire's Plaything

Decanting: Once per Long Rest, you can create one Potion of Healing or Antitoxin.

Timely Retreat: You can take a Bonus Action to take the Dash or Disengage action once per Short Rest.

Tireless Reveler

Once per Short Rest, you can gain an inspiration point.

Requirements

ImpUI is not a hard requirement but is needed if you don't want the backgrounds to show up as solid boxes, or another mod that does the same thing.
