Sczarni

So, in the near future, I'd like to make a Dhampir character and I'm trying to nail down what I wanna do with him.

Though I'm definitely leaning toward making him a ninja (seeing as how my other active characters are a witch and a gunslinger), I have considered doing a wildblooded sorcerer (undead: sanguine).

Either way, I need to think about how to allocate stats, feats, spells (if sorc) or if I'm gonna completely change up what I'm doing with him and pick an entirely different class.

The only thing that's for sure is that he'll be a (neutral) follower of Urgathoa and that he's gonna be of the Sczarni faction.

I assume you have a boon that allows you to play a Dhampir?

Sczarni

As of this moment, not yet, but rumor has it that I may be GMing an upcoming thing that would get me said boon. If this turns out not to be the case, no big deal.

But if it is actually the case, then I'd like to figure out what I'm doing so I can have the character made and ready to play shortly there after so I've got a lvl 1.

I will assume you have a Gencon/Beginner Bash boon to play one, as it is a special circumstance to get one.

As a Dhampir, your biggest issue will be Positive Energy, be it an Undead Microwaver or Heal Battery. If the former, hope they have Selective Channel, or either you or the Cleric will be unhappy.

Additionally, if you don't have a method of self-healing, you'll have the issue of CLW wands. Clerics don't want to burn spells preparing Inflicts, just to kerp you alive. If they ARE a Cleric who was already preparing/spontaneously casting those, chances are the purpose wasn't for healing undead. You will probably need to invest 2 PA into a ILW Wand ASAP to keep your local UMD monkey happy (and yourself alive.)

Just two things to think about for Org play with such a race.

It would be a Beginner Box Bash boon, seeing as how that's what we're doing here this weekend. It may be that Dhampir is, indeed, not what I end up getting for GMing, which would make this all a moot point, but last I'd heard that was the most likely one I was looking at.

As far as healing goes, I had intended to spend my first 2 PA on an ILW wand, as well as the fact that I was planning on snagging the Pallid Crystal as soon as I had 3k to drop on it. I'd been planning on being a UMD monkey with this character, be it through the sorcerer class or ninja class, it was going to be a definite focus.
