Astarion is undead....the thought of romancing him is kind of ...disturbing (so naturally I had to try) - he's a pretty zombie basically wink Unless the tadpole has turned him mortal again...sad thing he doesn't really seem to get many of the benefits of being undead (resistances like Necrotic; Bludgeoning, Piercing, and Slashing From Nonmagical Attacks....) or draining bit - well not that I noticed. He's like a pseudo vampire spawn... a proto spawn?
