What they&#8217;ve created is a complete vampire class for fifth edition Vampire, with blood points, disciplines, beast, and Dark Ages adventures, and it&#8217;s a great way to bring a piece of the Dark World to a table that already lives in 5E D&#038;D.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Currently, there is no official vampire class <em>Dungeons &#038; Dragons<\/em>. A character can be bitten by a vampire and develop vampirism, and there is a sort of half-vampire &#8220;Dhampir&#8221; line available in <em>Van Richten&#8217;s Guide to Ravenloft<\/em> source, but none of them are fully developed character classes.
