| Ryu’jinn Feixue |
“I was denied my birthright, but I will not be denied your life.”
Feixue conceals the knowledge that he descends from an extinct vampire bloodline. Under commandment of the Jade Emperor, the Third and Fifth Imperial Legions brought ruin and destruction to the thrice accursed Ryu’jinn lineage and their Ebon Mountain strongholds. As an illegitimate dhampir, Feixue’s birth was omitted from the clan register and this exclusion kept his heritage secret from the inquisition. Now a soldier of fortune, he has travel far beyond his homeland and holds zero desire to return.

TRAITS
Combat Superiority (5/Long Rest). Feixue learns maneuvers that are fueled by special dice called Superiority Dice. Many maneuvers enhance an attack in some way. He can use only one maneuver per attack.
- Ambush. When Feixue makes a Dexterity (Stealth) check or an Initiative roll, he can expend one Superiority Die and add 4 (1d8) to the roll.
- Menacing Attack. When Feixue hits a creature with an attack roll, he can expend one Superiority Die and add 4 (1d8) to the attack’s damage roll. The target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw (DC 16), or have the Frightened condition until the end of Feixue’s next turn.
- Precision Attack. When Feixue misses with an attack roll, he can expend one Superiority Die and add 4 (1d8) die to the attack roll.
Decanting. When Feixue finishes a Long Rest, he can create one Potion of Healing or an Antitoxin, as long as he has an empty vial or flask. These liquids evaporate when he finishes another Long Rest.
Spider Climb. Feixue can move up, down, and across vertical surfaces and along ceilings while leaving his hands free.
Tactical Mind. When Feixue fails an ability check, he can expend a use of Second Wind, and instead of regaining Hit Point, Feixue adds 5 (1d10) to the ability check. If the check still fails, this use of Second Wind isn’t expended.
Vampiric Bite (3/Long Rest). When Feixue deals Vampiric Bite damage to a creature that isn’t a Construct or an Undead, he can empower himself in one of the following ways:
- Drain. Feixue regains Hit Points equal to the Piercing damage dealt.
- Strengthen. Feixue gains a bonus to the next ability check or attack roll he makes within the next minute; the bonus is equal to the Piercing damage dealt.
