Fantasy The End is Slow (D&D inspired RP)

[DapperCat]

I have played every campaign setting there is. and for them being rare... there was always atleast 30 percent of the prewritten modules where you encountered them on the surface. and in the Faerun setting surface adventuring drow are common as Lolth's followers seek out to capture and or kill drizzt. So I fail to see the evidence to their claimed rarity

"Drow and the Player’s Handbook
For the first time ever, drow make their appearance as character options in the Player’s Handbook, and are not condemned to being a “playable monster race,” with stats included in the Monster Manual, as they were in third and fourth edition. In fifth edition D&D, drow are presented as coequal with wood elves and high elves (though they are “rare,” and the book advises you to check with your Dungeon Master before playing one). Yet, the Player’s Handbook also has this to say of the drow:"

A Light in the Darkness: Playing a Drow Character

The Player’s Handbook gives D&D players the option to create a dark elf character, but warns them that they will face prejudice and hardship a...

Just saw that one and some more like, things on google, idk, new to this so I'm just using the stuff I find.

Never said they would be accepted, liked, treated fairly. but they are there. it is RARE for PC Drow as most commonly Drow are the Villains So saying they are rare in general is misleading. Sorry.

Okay, a player Drow then.

 

[SexyStonerRoleplaygal]

In some material they are not even called drow. like in 1st edition and even back to basic they were called Dark Elves. Drow became more common with 2nd edition and Forgotten realms.

 

[SexyStonerRoleplaygal]

5th edition made Drow a standard player race, with out having to look for details and rules to play them from supplements lol

 

[darkborn]

Question: May I play a dhampir? I know its not in the D&D stuff really, except for one home-brewed source (D&D beyond.. even then, it really doesn't do it justice...); really, I'm drawing from Pathfinder: Dhampir (11 RP) – d20PFSRD

 

[SexyStonerRoleplaygal]

I inboxed you a couple links. one is a homebrew and one is a 3.5 version. They became a more widely used race in 5th Edition however earlier editions not so much

If you mean me I didn't receive anything. But it's okay, I'm doing my research dw. ^^

 

[DistressedDisaster]

Ooo im interested

DapperCat : She's talking to me.

 

[DapperCat]

DapperCat : She's talking to me.

OHHH that makes more sense. XD

 

[darkborn]

xD. You guys got plenty of information on Drow thanks to Drizzt. Its just that there's not really much information about Dhampirs in RPGs. Blade only barely counts.

 

[SexyStonerRoleplaygal]

Yea Dapper! I had inboxed him some links to further his query on Dhampirs lol as I had already previously had a couple links bookmarked from when i was researching stats for Changelings in pathfinder as well as 3.5 stats on Shadar-kai so i was offering what info I had on hand lol

 

[DapperCat]

Yeah I just wasn't sure since it was 2 races in short time so it could be both it's about. XD

 

[SexyStonerRoleplaygal]

Rayne from Bloodrayne would be more my idea of a Dhampir i'd want to play lol

 

[DistressedDisaster]

I'd be partial to playing a half-elf like a basic person XD

 

[SexyStonerRoleplaygal]

Well if you are playing half elf. I'd suggest looking into the racial paragon classes. being a half elf you qualify for 2 three level paragon classes. either half elf and elf or half elf and human lol. they are useful depending on what you are wanting to do with your character. Paragon classes and rules are located in the unearthed arcana source book

I'll likely stick with Half Elf Half Human, like a character I have in a campaign I run with friends, albeit a bit tweaked for this.

 

[SexyStonerRoleplaygal]

Oh nice. I first used the paragons with a halfling i rolled up in a table top PNP D&D group. the group then all started using them!

Im really basic- I get confused easily. But Im torn between going for a half-elf rogue, or perhaps trying a half-elf or simply elvish Wizard.

 

[DemetrioMachete]

Yea a Dhampir would work fine.

I am not certain if I interpreted the Vampire correctly, but Vampirism is a curse, not a disease. It would be logical for that curse to be passed on to a victim.

 

[SexyStonerRoleplaygal]

True. But Some vampires can pass it on like a disease through their bite because of a liquid they secrete they can will or decline transformation. if i have understood everything i have read.
