Dhampir are characters with innate connections to death and undeath. Many are half-Vampires one way or another, and have a life-draining bite.

Overview

With Undeath somewhere in their ancestry, Dhampir are living beings with increased Strength, a Vampiric bite, and an affinity for death.

Dhampir have supernatural Strength, but also have access to uncanny Constitution and Charisma. They can heal themselves by using their Vampiric Bite on living beings.

They can excel at both felling their foes with weapons and enchanting unsuspecting animals and humanoids.

The Dhampir race was introduced in Update 74. It is free to VIP, and is included in any bundle of the Chill of Ravenloft expansion. In January 2026, it will be available in DDO Store for 1,595  (or in a bundle with the iconic for 2,499 ).

Strengths: Their Vampiric Bite allows them to heal themselves and eventually kill people outright.

Weaknesses: If fully embracing Undeath, they become vulnerable to Light damage and take less Positive healing.

Racial traits

• +2 Strength
• Do not need to breathe while underwater
• Feat: Vampiric Bite
  • Single Target Action: You bite target creature at touch range, dealing 1d4 Piercing Damage per Character Level. This scales with 200% Melee or Ranged Power (though is not a weapon attack and cannot crit). If that creature is a living and corporeal creature, you heal for 20 + (Character Level x Constitution Modifier) number of Hit Points from Positive energy.
