Dark Knights were once among the ranks of the knights of the living, but now they are neither plain walking dead - nor ordinary vampires.
Being knights in their former life, they specialize in mortal combat - and can become proficient in many kinds of weapons and armor types.
They possess an exceptional physical provess, but are unable to learn the arts of ordinary magic; instead they possess the unique ability to manipulate their own twisted life energies to do their cruel, bloody bidding.
This provides them the choice of either becoming a tough, nigh extinguishable warden - or use their powers to harvest their twisted energy and use it against their enemies.

Being beyond death's grasp, all Dark Knights have the unique ability to use their own hitpoints in exchange for fearsome powers.
Often erroneously labelled as "Blood Magic" by common folk, these Dark Powers - while powerful - are very harmful to their user; abusing them and running out of hitpoints will instantly kill the caster.
