[{"name":"Shapechanger","desc":"If the vampire isn't in sun light or running water,
it can use its action to polymorph into a Tiny bat or a Medium cloud of mist, or
back into its true form.\nWhile in bat form, the vampire can't speak, its walking
speed is 5 feet, and it has a flying speed of 30 feet. Its statistics, other than
its size and speed, are unchanged. Anything it is wearing transforms with it, but
nothing it is carrying does. It reverts to its true form if it dies.\nWhile in mist
form, the vampire can't take any actions, speak, or manipulate objects. It is
weightless, has a flying speed of 20 feet, can hover, and can enter a hostile
creature's space and stop there. In addition, if air can pass through a space, the
mist can do so without squeezing, and it can't pass through water. It has advantage
on Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution saving throws, and it is immune to all
nonmagical damage, except the damage it takes from sunlight."},{"name":"Legendary
Resistance (3/Day)","desc":"If the vampire fails a saving throw, it can choose to
succeed instead."},{"name":"Misty Escape","desc":"When it drops to 0 hit points
outside its resting place, the vampire transforms into a cloud of mist (as in the
Shapechanger trait) instead of falling unconscious, provided that it isn't in
sunlight or running water. If it can't transform, it is destroyed.\nWhile it has 0
hit points in mist form, it can't revert to its vampire form, and it must reach its
resting place within 2 hours or be destroyed. Once in its resting place, it reverts
to its vampire form. It is then paralyzed until it regains at least 1 hit point.
After spending 1 hour in its resting place with 0 hit points, it regains 1 hit
point."},{"name":"Regeneration","desc":"The vampire regains 20 hit points at the
start of its turn if it has at least 1 hit point and isn't in sunlight or running
water. If the vampire takes radiant damage or damage from holy water, this trait
doesn't function at the start of the vampire's next turn."},{"name":"Spider

can't enter a residence without an invitation from one of the occupants.\nHarmed by
Running Water. The vampire takes 20 acid damage if it ends its turn in running
water.\nStake to the Heart. If a piercing weapon made of wood is driven into the
vampire's heart while the vampire is incapacitated in its resting place, the
vampire is paralyzed until the stake is removed.\nSunlight Hypersensitivity. The
vampire takes 20 radiant damage when it starts its turn in sunlight. While in

paralysed or restrained it also takes 10 (3d6) necrotic damage, its hit point
maximum is reduced by an amount equal to the necrotic damage taken, and the vampire
regains hit points equal to that amount. The reduction lasts until the target
finishes a long rest. The target dies if this effect reduces its hit point maximum

following night as a vampire spawn under the vampire's control."},

charmed target regards the vampire as a trusted friend to be heeded and protected.
Although the target isn't under the vampire's control, it takes the vampire's
requests or actions in the most favorable way it can, and it is a willing target
for the vampire's bite attack.\nEach time the vampire or the vampire's companions
do anything harmful to the target, it can repeat the saving throw, ending the
