Hello all!
It's me again comin' at you with some lore stuff!
I am running carrion crown, which is being said right now both context and to make it clear that this thread could include spoilers for said AP, so beware! Right now one of my players decided to go Dhampir, specifically that one type of Dhampir that is created artificially rather than 'natural' spreading of vampirism and whatnot. And after some dreams I tormented them with their character's greatest fears, it seems they are leaning into the gothic horror aspect of possibly going mad and succumbing to an illness sorta deal.
It should also be noted that this person also found religion in Pharasma recently with the aid if a party member who is a hardcore devout Pharasman. So, you know, spicy drama~
My question is this, since I kind of want to play up the tragic element of losing one's self to a disease like Vampirism, I am looking for cool ways to try and come up with methods of treating vampirism like a disease. Cures, treatments, stuff like that similar to how wolfsbane can be used on early Lycanthropes to help cure them.
Anyone got any ideas or suggestions, within or without the confines of the mechanical rules?
You could look into the Vampirism Corruption and see if that fits the direction you want to go, or adapt it as you see fit.
