Spellcasting

Spellcasting By 2nd level, You have learned to draw upon the power of your blood to cast spells. See spells rules for the general rules of spellcasting and the spells listing for the vampire spell list.   Preparing and Casting Spells The Paladin table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your Vampire spells. To cast one of your Vampire spells of 1st level or higher, you must expend a slot of the spell’s level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.   You prepare the list of Vampire spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the Vampire spell list. When you do so, choose a number of paladin spells equal to your Charisma modifier + half your Vampire level, rounded down (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots.   For example, if you are a 5th-level Vampire, you have four 1st-level and two 2nd-level spell slots. With a Charisma of 14, your list of prepared spells can include four spells of 1st or 2nd level, in any combination. If you prepare the 1st-level spell cure wounds, you can cast it using a 1st-level or a 2nd-level slot. Casting the spell doesn’t remove it from your list of prepared spells.   You can change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest.   Spellcasting Ability Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your Vampire spells, since their power derives from the Latent power inside of you. You use your Charisma whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Charisma modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a vampire spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.   Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier   Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier
