|san1=Arcane Reflexes {{Ex}} 
|sad1=At 4th level, you infuse the energy of previous haste castings into your natural reaction time. You receive a competence bonus on initiative rolls equal to your arcane spellcasting ability modifier.

|san2=Bloodline Arcana (Undeath)
|sad2=Some undead are susceptible to your mind-affecting spells. Corporeal undead that were once humanoids are treated as humanoids for the purposes of determining which spells affect them.

|san3=Death’s Gift {{Su}}
|sad3=At 3rd level, you gain resist cold 5 and DR 5/— against nonlethal damage. At 9th level, your resistance to cold increases to 10 and your DR increases to 10/— against nonlethal damage.

|san4=Diligent Rapidity {{Ex}}
|sad4=At 8th level, you automatically overcome magic and mundane obstacles with the haste spell. While under the effect of a haste spell that you cast yourself, you can move and attack normally, even under the influence of magic that usually impedes movement, as the freedom of movement spell. See the spell description on page 233 of the Player's Handbook. As an additional effect, you can also move across the surface of placid or flowing water, but not whitewater rapids or stormy water, by making two move actions in a round. You immediately sink any time you make a single move action in a round or come to a complete stop while traversing water.

|san5=Eastern Greatblade
|sad5=The blade grants the following abilities:

:'''Dashing Slash:''' If the wielder possess the [[Dash (3.5e Feat)|Dash]] feat, it may halves the distance of it dash, but make a single attack at it highest attack bonus at the end of it. 

:'''Flowing Blade Stance:''' The wielder may enter a special stance as a swift action (this counts as a stance of the highest level maneuver your qualified for interacting with martial maneuvers and thus cannot be used in conjunction to one). In this stance the wielder is missed by an attack it may either take a 5-feet step or take an attack of opportunity against the striking creature (this does not stack with similar ability). If the attack that missed was an attack of opportunity the counter attack of opportunity is made with a +4 bonus to attack. You may use this ability a number of time per round equal to the number of attack granted by base attack bonus.

:'''Wide Arc Draw:''' The first attack made after drawing an Eastern Greatblade is made against three adjacent square, roll a single attack roll and damage roll for all creatures involved. 

|san6=Evasive Celerity {{Ex}} 
|sad6=While under the effect of a haste spell that you cast yourself, individually targeted spells have a 50% chance of failing against you.

|san7=Fortified Hustle {{Ex}}
|sad7=''[[SRD:Haste|Haste]]'' is now an extraordinary ability for himself, and cannot be dispelled.

|san8=Grave Touch {{Sp}}
|sad8=Starting at 1st level, you can make a melee touch attack as a standard action that causes a living creature to become shaken for a number of rounds equal to 1/2 your sorcerer level (minimum 1). If you touch a shaken creature with this ability, it becomes frightened for 1 round if it has fewer Hit Dice than your sorcerer level. You can use this ability a number of times per day equal to 3 + your Charisma modifier.

|san9=Innervated Speed {{Ex}}
|sad9=Any time you prepare or spontaneously cast haste in a 6th level spell slot, you can subsume the spell at the moment of casting instead, increasing your speed so greatly that other creatures seem frozen in time, as the time stop spell, but for one round.  For each spell slot level higher than 6th level, you can extend innervated speed by 1 additional round.

|san10=Light Sensitivity
|sad10=Dhampirs are dazzled in areas of bright sunlight or within the radius of a daylight spell.

|san11=Manipulative
|sad11=Dhampir gain a +2 racial bonus on Bluff and Perception checks.

|san12=Negative Energy Affinity
|sad12=Though a living creature, a dhampir reacts to positive and negative energy as if it were undead—positive energy harms it, while negative energy heals it.

|san13=Perpetual Options {{Ex}}
|sad13=At 9th level, you can perform even more actions with the haste spell. Instead of making one extra attack at your highest base attack bonus while under the effect of a haste spell that you cast yourself, you now have the choice of making one extra move action or one extra standard action. For example, you could make three consecutive move actions with this ability, two move actions and one standard action, one move action and two standard actions, a full attack action and a move action, a full attack action and a standard action, a full round action and a move action, or a full round action and a standard action.

|san14=Resist Level Drain {{Ex}}
|sad14=A dhampir takes no penalties from energy drain effects, though he can still be killed if he accrues more negative levels then he has Hit Dice. After 24 hours, any negative levels a dhampir takes are removed without the need for an additional saving throw.

|san15=Spell-Like Abilities {{Sp}}
|sad15=1/day- ''[[SRD:Charm Person|charm person]]'' (DC 19), ''[[SRD:Command|command]]'' (DC 19).  The saving throws are [[Charisma]] based.

|san16=Sudden Casting {{Ex}}
|sad16=You can cast haste as a swift action once per round, but without using up higher-level spell slots.

|san17=Swift Surge {{Ex}} 
|sad17=You gain a +2 bonus on attack rolls and a +2 dodge bonus to AC and Reflex saves, a +10 foot enhancement bonus to all of your modes of movement and deal an extra 2d6 points of damage during any round in which you move at least 20 feet (or +1d6 for 10 ft).  These bonuses stack with the bonuses gained from the haste spell and skirmish ability.

|san18=Undead Resistance
|sad18=Dhampirs gain a +2 racial bonus on saving throws against disease and mind-affecting effects.
