This page is incomplete and/or lacking flavor. Reason: This shares far too many similarities to Vampire, prestige variant (5e Class), and also has far too many holdovers from when it was a class. Incomplete H&W table. This is a race, not a class. See 5e Race Design Guide.

|
This page is of questionable balance. Reason: There are way too many traits here, and gaining access to traits as you level. The class-copied stuff needs to be overhauled and greatly simplified. This should only be a small number of benefits if it's truly seeking to be a race. Has 4 total ASI.

This page needs grammatical help. Reason: This does not meet 5e standards.
