Hello, everyone! We're here with your first look at the Dhampir player race.
For those unfamiliar, Dhampir are characters with innate connections to death and undeath. Many are half-Vampires one way or another, and have a life-draining bite. So without further ado, let's take a look at DDO's Dhampir!
Starting Features:
+2 Strength
Do not need to breathe while underwater
Feat: Vampiric Bite
Single Target Action: You bite target creature at touch range, dealing 1d4 Piercing Damage per Character Level. This scales with 200% Melee or Ranged Power (though is not a weapon attack and cannot crit). If that creature is a living and corporeal creature, you heal for 10 + (Heroic Character Level x Constitution Modifier) number of Hit Points from Positive energy. You may use this twice per Rest. (6 second cooldown).

Frequently Asked Questions:
Why are Dhampir a Strength race (instead of DEX, CON, INT, or CHA)?
There's a lot of ways to interpret what a Dhampir is (and Vampires in general) - Relative to a Human, they're stronger and faster, but also possibly smarter, more charismatic, and better with magic. We decided to keep some of the magical leanings for the Iconic - more on that later - and make the base race a little more well-rounded instead. Dexterity was a consideration, but in the last few years, we've added Shifters (+2 Dex), Tabaxi (+2 Dex), and Eladrin (you guessed it, +2 Dex), so we decided not to go that route. There's been a lot of demand for more Strength-based races, and D&D has relatively few of those overall, so we decided to lean into Vampiric Strength, not diminish any of the other ability scores, and give some flexibility within the ability scores and DCs.
Do DDO's Dhampir experience recurring hunger, like Dhampir in pen and paper?
By lore, yes. We explored doing something like this mechanically, where you HAD to land Vampiric Bites on living creatures regularly to satisfy hunger, but in the end it just felt like homework. We didn't want to end up hamstringing you with hunger debuffs whenever you're in a dungeon that's all constructs or earth elementals, so we kept it to "the bite doesn't heal you on those creature types", as we feel it leads to a less punishing and more fun game experience.
Do I HAVE to be undead?
No. By default, Dhampir aren't. You can decide to skip Embrace Death entirely, and still benefit from almost everything Dhampir have to offer.
Why aren't the Bite and Rush of Bats melee attacks?
We wanted to make sure players using Dhampir as ranged-weapon-users could still bite and rush. And that casters didn't need to worry about melee stats to land their bites and rushes. With the setup here, you should be able to to benefit from these regardless of build.
What about the Iconic?
It's called the Dark Bargainer.
It starts with one level of Warlock.
Instead of +2 Strength, it gets +1 Intelligence and +1 Charisma.
It's currently targeted for next Preview, more info will be coming then!

Paths in Chargen aren't consistently working yet, and may throw errors if you attempt to use them. Choosing "Custom" should work fine.
Fearsome Countenance isn't enforcing its range properly in this build.
Vampiric Bite is meant to start with 2 charges, but is only granting 1 in this build.

FAQ
The Iconic's tree is very Eldritch Blast focused, to the point where I can't use chunks of it if I multiclass out of Warlock. What gives?
We wanted to create an Iconic that really heavily encouraged Eldritch Blast use, but this is still an outstanding point. We'd like to add other ways to generate Growing Dread that don't necessarily rely on Eldritch Blast, but also aren't just better than using Eldritch Blast. (For instance, "on melee hit" would generate Growing Dread far faster, so why use Eldritch Blast at that point?). We're open to ideas on this one.
Why base this around a fog spell, fog spells are slow, and they obscure vision?
This one casts faster than most other Fog spells, and if you have both the Pact Spell and the SLA you can get a few out at a time. The FX is low to the ground, should not interfere with visibility at all. And the effects of Dread Mist only hit enemies. We'd encourage you to try it on Lamannia for yourself before giving feedback on it.
With the Dark Gift Pact and Utterdark Blast, can I have both my base blast and pact damage be Evil?
Yes.
What does the healing in Vampiric Blast scale with?
Positive/Negative Healing Amp, primarily. It doesn't scale with Spell Power, as that'd be a colossally larger number - It's meant to be closer to weapons' Vampirism.
If I have multiple Dark Bargainers in my party, do our stacks of Growing Dread stack together?
Yes.
