That’s what I’m getting at, I think they have the same ritual benefits Astarion does, I.e. daywalker, can eat normal food, no running water issues, can enter homes, etc.

The only difference is they don’t have full vampire powers, just spawn powers and they can’t make new spawn.

It’s interesting too, cause if you kill Astarion before the end game, you won’t have to run and hide on the dock, and at first I thought that was just an oversight, but it might not be.
