Symphony of a Vampire - Vampirism Overhaul

[size=4][u][b]Symphony of a Vampire - Vampirism Overhaul[/b][/u][/size]

[size=4][b]Description[/b][/size]
[size=3][color=#D4D4D8]Vampirism becomes a progression path instead of a single character trait.

Astarion and any ally he Embraces gains access to a dedicated Vampiric Powers tree alongside Illithid Powers. Use Vampire Bite to earn Blood, spend it to unlock new powers, and develop each vampire independently.

Feed, grow stronger, and choose who will inherit the gift of vampirism.[/color][/size]

[size=3][color=#D4D4D8]The whole tree costs 97 Blood. Blood comes from feeding: 1 for a bite, and 1 more if the bite kills. Every vampire has their own tree, their own Blood, and their own purchases.

At 6 nodes you become [b]Blood-Touched[/b] and your Vampire Bite bites deeper. At 16 nodes you become [b]Blood-Ascendant[/b]: deeper still, and the bite costs no bonus action.
