==== Alternate Racial Feature ====

* ''Night Fangs'': Some duskborns have more pronounced vampiric traits than others, starting with their teeth. They gain the [[Night Fangs (3.5e Feat)|Night Fangs]] feat for free. This alternate trait replaces the Impaler trait.

* ''Call of the Vampiric Blood'': Those who embrace their vampiric nature find they have more in common with these creatures than what meets the eye. They gain a +4 racial bonus against mind-affecting effects and a +2 on Charisma-based checks to influence vampires. They take only half damage from negative energy. They are perceived as evil undead by Divination effects and have a +2 racial bonus on Disguise checks to look like vampires. This alternate trait replaces the Sinister Nature trait.

* ''Night Lodge'': Not all duskborns fight vampires, on the contrary the members of the Night Lodge collaborate with them. They gain the [[Skill Focus]] (Knowledge Religion) feat for free and treat the [[Knowledge]] (Religion) skill as a class skill for all of their classes.  This alternate trait replaces the Enemy of Undeath trait.
