Dhampir Druid


Advice


So first of all, hi! I am the light brigade and I have been playing pathfinder for about two years. Now I've finally got of my lazy ass and registered here.
Getting to the real thing.

I have an idea for a Dhampir Druid, as they have an alternative racial trait that let them speak with some animals.

His background would be that after birth his mother asked the local hunter to take him out and leave him in the cold winter forest to die. Yet when he got out there he was ambushed by a pack of wolves. They rocognized the child as one of theirs and brought him back to the rest of their pups. They soon realized that he would not drink the milk of the female wolves and so they started ambushing people, dragging them back alive to the cave and let him drink their blood. (I.e the blood drinker feat)

The child would grow up to become the alpha male of the pack. But they had to move often. They could not stay by one village for to long or the inhabitants woyld eventually find and kill them.

This they did for a long time. (Because it take 110 damn years for a Dhampir to grow up)
One day they attacked an old man. But this time the attack failed, the man was a druid and the wolves could not bring themself to kill jim. Not even under order from the pack leader.
The druid saw that the child (even though he was older than the druid himself, 110 damn years!) already had an unnatural bond with nature and was perfect material for a Druid initiate. They gave him the name Féon (a ancient gaelic word for wolf). He proved to be skilled at magic, though his cravings for the blood of humans had to be contained.
One day Féon simpely couldn't resist. After a fight with one of his Druid brothers, he bit him. Drank his blood and killed him.
Once more he was an outcast, forced to flee the circle. Now he wanders, a pack of wolves and a swarm of bats following him.

So thats for backstory.

Now play-wise, I know it's and odd mix. So I would like help with stats, spells and such.

Getting improved grapple would be good since it allows me to bite more. But other than that, I'm blank.


You want the fangs alternate racial ability. Its practically a must have if you are going blood drinker. Then you dont have to grapple, you can just bite and get in your blood driking.

You might want to go wolf shaman druid to represent your affinity to wolves given your upbrining, or if you actually want a pack of wolves you can go with the packlord druid from ultimate magic and have several wolves, using the boon companion feat to get them up to speed.

You can also take the eldritch heritage feat down the road to additionally fill out your animal companion pack (use the sylvan bloodline for the animal companion power).
