Vampire_Origin
"You are born of blood and violence....
While traveling the long and lonely roads to the city of Baldur's Gate, you were accosted by a bandit with deep red eyes and found yourself dropped to the ground with an icy cold bite on your neck. As day progressed you found yourself growing hungry and before too long, you were unable to control yourself and fed on a poor pilgrim heading to the city. Now you can feel your true nature.. You are a Vampire and you are starting to hide in the shadows because of the sun but before you were able to pick the lock to the inn off the street; you saw a black shadow fall, tentacle flash in front of your eyes... where are you now?!?"
How the Origin Characters Work:
Mod Details:
This improved version has 2 Origin options to choose from that are Vampire Spawn and Full Vampire. The Vampire Spawn is a less powerful version of the vampire and will be what is applied to Astarion's Origin as well. Both have their powers and details below.
In addtion, both Vampire Origins will have a Dark Urge spell that lets you become the Dark Urge (Rather than just choosing that Origin) that will be useable until level 2. At level 2 the spell will be removed. If you do want to play the full Dark Urge experience: Choose Haunted Background at character creation and then cast the Dark Urge Spell upon leaving the pod at the beginning. If you don't want to play as the Dark Urge... just let the spell go away at level 2 or delete from bar until it is removed to clean things up.
