What is the best way to create a Daywalker like Blade?

[Salarain]

Howdy everyone.

Can any one have any ideal the best to create a race or class type to make a Daywalker (Blade).

My Stats are 2x18's, 2x17's, 16 and 15.

I thought of using a vamprie template but the template does not fit right.

I've never seen Blade or read the comics, but I know he's a half-vampire. With that in mind, I recommend the Dhampir race from Bestiary 2.

damper with good stats. *poof* daywalker

edit: add the feats to give him the sanguine bloodline if you want more of that tasty vampire flavor.

Blade is a vampire hunter, right? I'd say dhampir ranger - Str 18, Dex 18 (raise to 20), Con 17 (drop to 15), Int 16, Wis 17, Cha 15 (raise to 17). Two-weapon fighting style, favored enemy undead. Maybe urban ranger archetype.

I'd say inquisitor, personally.

Hellboy is an Inquisitor. Makes more sense for Blade to be a Ranger.

You'll note that I never said I had familiarity with the character!

There's a Vampire Hunter archetype for Inquisitors in Inner Sea Magic, so I based it off that.

Well Dhampir is the best way to do it core, but honestly I dont know that it is the best way to represent blade himself. Blade isn't light sensative, and he definately doesnt have a bellow average con. I think if you really want to represent a 'daywalker' it would be a level adjustment race because his strength, speed and skill are all explained in series as both through training and through his vamp heritage.

3.5's libris mortis had a half vampire template. something like
Inherited Template that can be added to any Humanoid or Monstrous Humanoid.

Natural Armor +2
Attack

Slam 1d6+STR
Special Attacks

Gain 1 of the following abilities (DC is 10 + ½HD+Cha mod):

Blood Drain – If pinning an opponent, the vampire can make a bite attack that does 1d4 Constitution damage each round & the vampire gains 5 temporary hp each point. If you do not drain at least 5 Constitutions point of Blood each day from a living creature, you are Fatigued (FortNeg, DC 15 + number of days since you last drunk). If you still do not drink, you become Exhausted (FortNeg, DC 20 + number of days since you last drunk). 5 points of blood removes the Fatigue –or– reduces Exhaustion to Fatigue.

Charm Gaze – by making a gaze attack against a target within 30’ as a Standard Action, the target is affected by Charm Monster, using the Half-Vampire’s HD as Caster level. (WillNeg). If the target’s save is successful, he/she is immune to this Half-Vampire’s Charm Gaze for 24 hours.

I would make Big Red a Ranger/Gunslinger with Favored Enemy Evil Outsiders and the Skirmisher Template.

Blade Dampier Ranger Skirmisher with Favored Enemy Undead and Human.

[JarithBloodstone]

just use the Dhampir race from the Advance Race Guide from Pathfinder, for the class use their Kinslayer,and also make him a Urban ranger with that, also give him favored enemy(Vampires)
their u go!!!

[clff rice]

Blade dhampir slayer as he doesn't have all the nature stuff.

[Darksol the Painbringer]

This thread radiates a strong Necromancy aura...

[Imbicatus]

I'd run him as an undead bloodline bloodrager, personally.

Edit: just like this thread.

[Goth Guru]

Give a fighter the vampiric bloodline.

Several bloodlines have fighter potential.

[Dalindra]

I think that the Dhampir Kinslayer archetype for Inquisitors may be just what you want:

Appalled and guilt-ridden by the horrific circumstances of her birth, a kinslayer dedicates herself to eradicating the very creatures whose blood flows within her veins. She spends her life hunting and slaying those vampiric monsters for whom humans have become prey.

[Entryhazard]

Also there are Dhampir varaints with different stat arrays

[Byrdology]

Base stats aren't as important as the training and items gained through character development (i.e. Leveling). Since Blade is specific and unique, there is nothing wrong with a little DM fiat and taking liberties with the source material.

Class wise, I would say some sort of fighter rogue/ranger (urban).

Did not notice that, I was just scrolling through and responding to things that piqued my interest.

[Goth Guru]

While balance demands a daywalker have weaker powers than an undead vampire, I think half healing from cure spells goes a long way to evening it out.

BTW, necro hating is not official.
