Vetala-Born (Ajibachana)

Traits

More often the result of curiosity or experimentation than mating, the dhampir offspring of vetalas are born with sharp minds and are inclined to ask questions. Known as ajibachanas, they are forceful and precocious, but their progenitors' distaste for the devout is mirrored in their weakness around holy or unholy sites. Just like their vampire parents, ajibachanas yearn for knowledge and often engage in scholarly pursuits, but their mortality drives them to work harder and learn faster. In a few short decades, they might gain a better understanding of themselves and their accumulated knowledge than their eternally childish parents ever could have. Ajibachanas have a +2 racial bonus to Dexterity and Intelligence, a –2 penalty to Wisdom, and a +2 racial bonus on Stealth and Use Magic Device checks.
