The vampire drinks a creature's blood, healing itself and harming the creature.

| Use | Selected |
| Prerequisites | none |
| Counts as an attack | Yes - using it on someone is a hostile act |
What it does
The attempt is a melee touch attack. On a hit:
| You are healed by | twice your level |
| The target loses | half of the hit points you actually gained, as negative damage |
The healing is capped twice, and both caps are applied before the damage is worked out: it never exceeds the target's current hit points, and it never exceeds the damage you have already taken. So a vampire missing four hit points heals four and deals two, whatever its level.
When it does not work
- You are already at full hit points.
- The target is undead or a construct.
- The target is under Negative Energy Protection.
Who gets it
Granted by a race: Vampire (from level 1).
