I am curious if anyone has any suggestions to help me get a character going.

I want to play a Wraith as it is portrayed in SG Atlantis. For those of you who do not know what these are let me just give a few dots of info:

They look like Drow, kind of; they have white/Grey hair and a very pale white body.

They also require to feed every so often to stay alive. When I mean feed, I mean, they need to consume a person life force, hence killing them. However, they do have good strength. One of them is able to take on 2 or 3 other people no problem.

Has anyone else thought of this as either a PC or a race of monsters for PCs to fight?

There is an article in Dragon magazine (subscribers-only) about playing "Dhampyr", which is to say a half-vampire. Essentially, you pick whatever base race you want (shadar-kai, drow, etc.) and then take the Dhampyr bloodline feats to get things like a blood drain attack (deal damage to a grabbed opponent and heal some,) and other vampire-themed abilities. Since the Wraith are strongly inspired by vampires, this seems like the best way to go.

I have never heard of the Shadar-Kai. What are they like? What are they? Can they life drain?

I like the idea of the half vampire...

Mar 07, 2009 20:25:19 Shadar-Kai are a race from Shadowfell. You can rules for playing them as player characters in the back of the Monster Manuel. Additionally Dragon has an article with fleshes them out as player characters.

Though Shadar-Kai cannot innately drain life the Dhampyr feat grants that ability flat out so you can give it to any race.
