Dreadblood Traits

Dreadblood dhampirs inherit a lesser version of the curse that drove their vampiric parent to the edge of madness and gave them a palpable aura of fear. Whether they like it or not, dreadblood dhampirs inherit that ability to inspire terror and unnerve others by their mere presence. Due to their difficulty establishing and maintaining relationships with others, many dreadblood dhampirs become bookish and withdrawn.   Ability Score Increase. Your Intelligence score increases by 1.   Creeping Terror. After you make an Intimidation, Perception, or Stealth ability check, but before the DM declares whether or not you were successful, you can spend and roll a Hit Die to add the result to your ability check.   Dread Legacy. You can cast the Tasha's hideous laughter spell once with this trait and regain the ability to do so when you finish a long rest. When you reach 3rd level, you can cast the crown of madness spell once with this trait and regain the ability to do so when you finish a long rest. Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for these spells.
