Tweaked from 5eYou already know this as 5e Vampiric Touch — It's your Vampiric Touch — a melee touch that drains life to heal you — but rebuilt as an at-will cantrip: 1d6 that scales at 5/11/17, and you get temp HP equal to the damage instead of healing half. ✨
Make a melee force attack to drain 1d6 necrotic from a creature and gain that many temporary hit points until the end of your next turn.
