Another reason why I love art portraits in Crpgs...you can really dial in the kind of character you imagined. Instead of bland and boring <everyone looks similar> 3D renderings . Totally different feel.

Wow those are rad portraits, I'd love to use them in my WotR games sometime, could you point me to the full versions? Or even versions already prepped to load into the game?

As for the topic, given how much weaker than a vampire spawn he is, making Astarion a Dhampir actually would make more sense. Obviously they might have plans for his character that require him to be a spawn, but from what we've seen so far, I think having him be a Dhampir that's been emotionally abused by his father, with the tadpole granting him not the capacity for independence, but more power, potentially more power than his father, would be a more interesting route to take him. Sure, Dhampir don't NEED to drink blood, but you could say that his sire raised him to be reliant on blood and now when he can't get it he's weaker. Having him be a dhampir would let the tadpole give him MORE power rather than taking powers he should have had.

Its part of a huge portraits set mod <Heroes of Stolen land> released for the Pathfinder games a couple of years ago (last update in 2021) . There are over 300 portraits for ALL classes many races, including Dhampir, Aasimar, Orc, Goblin, Tiefling, and Kitsune. But it looks like it was removed recently from Nexus due to copyright issues?? Im sure its still out there...though the latest version added Kitsune and Dhampir I think.
95% of the portraits are basically ALL amazing, which is rare for such quantity wink Im even using them for my BG2 play through (needs some editing).
