Dhampyrr

Thought to be born of the union between a vampire and a mortal woman, the truth is that the half-vampires are more comman than most folk imagine. Dhampyrrs can result from a vampire biting a pregnant woman, as well as through other, more mundane, means. Born with many of the supernatural powers of their vampiric sire, but without the weaknesses, chiefly the vulnerability to sunlight, dhampyrrs are refered to by true vampires as "daywalkers". They are rightly feared and best avoided.
