The vampire is a very popular monster in fiction and they have a rich history within Dungeons & Dragons. Fifth Edition has its own take on vampiric horror in the 2016 Curse of Strahd adventure path. This supplement seeks to give players and Dungeon Masters new options for exploring the world of the vampire in their own games.

The Sire is a new Patron for the warlock class. It takes inspiration from other Otherworldly Patrons, such as The Undying and The Great Old One, in order to give the player the ability to play as a vampire that feels authentic without sacrificing the balance of the game.

The dhampir is a race for players who want a touch of vampire flavour, but might not want it to dominate their character.

Finally there are several magic items built with vampires in mind, be they players or enemies for the Dungeon Master to use against them.
