It just occurred to me that a lot of posts in the DDO forums are like...
There are mushroom clouds from nuclear bombs exploding in the distance. On the horizon, Cthulu is lumbering ashore, smashing an oil refinery and causing the storage tanks to explode. Alien monsters with great, fang filled mouths are running down the middle of the street, eating anyone they can catch. In the sky, flying saucers are shooting death rays at random buildings and just zapped a large suspension bridge during rush hour, sending hundreds of commuters plunging to their doom.
At that very moment, the 47 year old, balding, overweight contractor who laid tile in your spare bathroom walks out of his house, looks around, and exclaims, "I demand to know what is going on and who is going to clean up this mess!"
I don't mean that as a dig on anyone. I have this image in my mind representing the complete futility of human existence.

Ia! Ia! I heard from a bird, that dropped a mystic turd, that the Dhampir would be out in the quarter third.

Lore, a Dhampir is the offspring of a Vampire and a Human. In later editions it's anyone who had Vampiric ancestry and manifested their
powers. There's no specific race for one. If they go strictly by that ( ...who am I kidding, SSG butchers everything... ) it would be a Human,
or a Universal tree that adds undead-like traits to whatever race you choose to play, instead of a new race.

But we know very well who they will actually turn out to be. The pointed ends of their ears give them out...

My guess: Prolly an attack (bite) that gives status buff (profane bonus) an upgrade that also heals with negative energy...some negative amps ...stats (Str/Int)

Would be great to see this be an alternative to pale master splits for undead builds. Would be really neat to be able to do an undead self-healing vampire monk.

What we need more than anything else... Another "Elf" sub-race with Dex as the only option. Sounds like this plan is 100% full of fail to me, as It would be nice to have a Int and / or Cha option.
It'd be nice if you pick an ancestry option of halfing, dwarf, elf, human, or maybe orc at creation like dragonborn and shift characters pick a subrace. Of course they would need to be able to tie the feats to your character's appearance options, which would probably be too complicated. Although the best would be making completely separate options with different appearances and similar but slightly different racial enhancement trees blending each race's trees with a dhampir template like elfs vs wood elfs, but that would definitely be too much work.

Well it is all speculation until Lammania pops up or until they release it. You'll probably find out more info closer to mid-year before the release of Lamordia.
My assumptions:
There will be both a normal and Iconic version like every other major expansion recently.
They might be an undead race natively (i.e. heals from negative) or at least be able to not breathe like Warforged.
They are probably going to be DEX-based. Could also be INT, CON or CHA depending on what route they wanna go. Many hope they don't make another DEX race
The iconic might introduce another Archetype but I doubt it.
Looking forward to the new expansion and Dhampir!
