Need some advice - Vampirism.
Hello all, I'm looking for some advice.
One of my players has been afflicted with vampirism as part of her backstory. She broke away from the control of her sire sometime before the joined the party and that has led to him being a prominent figure in her woes as he works to bring her back into his clutches.
I'm running a homebrew campaign I've established that this particular vampire lord is a Progenitor (a class of vampire nigh invincible above that of regular lords). Progenitors are like the super sires of vampires and were the first to be afflicted with it when an evil god created the curse, if one is ever killed, those they've turned would be freed of the vampirism curse.
Here's the sticky part, my player wants to kill her original sire but wants to retain her curse as its so woven into her identity as a character, she's asked that regardless if she kills him can she remain a vampire.
I'd love to be able to accommodate her request but I don't want it to feel like a case of DM hand wavery: "Oh you're the exception" type of situation. Considering she's asked it should be a deeply personal choice and I honestly think could be an incredible bit of roleplaying and story telling.
I'd love some advice on how I could make this happen that feels narratively satisfying, thank you!
Edit: spelling errors and better grammatical flow
