Eternal Prestige: Vampire Ascendant (d20)
Eternal Prestige Vampire Ascendant
By Ben Mowbray
Have you ever wanted to play a vampire in your d20 campaign¸ but that +8 Level Adjustment throws you completely off? You can't even contract the condition until you are 5th level or higher¸ and then all of a sudden you find yourself an effective 13th level character!
A DM might also argue that acquiring the vampire template makes a character simply too powerful too quickly and ban its use all together.
But no more!
Haven't you ever wondered how vampires come into being in the first place? It's a communicable disease/affliction¸ right¸ but where did it all start? Is there only a single source¸ or are there many?
Wouldn't it be possible for a willing mage to pursue dark necromantic rituals or for a priest to invoke diabolical and evil gods to grant them the powers that will send them down the dark path that would lead them to vampirism?
Afer all¸ if a cleric¸ sorcerer or wizard can become a lich¸ why not a vampire?
That's what this prestige class is all about! Taking the Vampiric Ascendant prestige class¸ your character will be able to begin his or her journey down that dark road¸ progressing slowly¸ changing subtly over time into an eternal master of the night¸ but without making the exceptional sacrifices that simply acquiring the vampire template requires.
