Ooh this is fun. Are you making a Vampire ancestry?
Also I think you can shorten the text by giving the intimidating glare skill feat with the heritage but definitely keep the text that says you bare your fangs. That is simply so flavourful and fun idea.
No it's all good! I appreciate the suggestion, it could cut down on word count. I took the idea of that feat but it might be simpler to just say "you gain the effects of the Intimidating Glare skill feat when you bare your fangs" etc.
I'm not sold on this nosferatu heritage. I wrote it last month and forgot about it but now I think it doesn't really encapsulate what Nosferatu is really about, which is fear. Much to think about.
Sounds fun! Concealing one’s heritage when playing a vampire seems like something that would happen often and I like penalties that are impactful. Longer fangs feel like they should also give some bonus to attacking with them but that would probably be too much for a single feat.
Thanks! Since this is a heritage, I could definitely have a feat with this heritage as a prerequisite that made the vampire's fang attack more powerful. Something to think about!
So would this be a heritage for players to pick during character creation or are you gonna have some rules around becoming a vampire and gaining this heritage mid-campaign?
I'm actually writing a whole vampire ancestry from scratch! It's aimed at players who want to start with a vampire character, but kind of like skeleton or fleshwarp, you could theoretically retrain when you are transformed into the new ancestry mid-campaign.
