Black Blooded, Variant (5e Class)

This Variant IS NOT DONE YET , I WANT TO CHANGE SO THE CLASS HAS MORE OPTION THEN JUST CREATING A BLOOD POOLS

Black Blooded

Black blood is a synthetically made and weaponized bodily fluid that coexists with the blood cells in the body. This is a virus crafted in order to gain large amounts of power quickly. Black Blooded do severe harm to themselves in order to gain control over the battlefield. Those with black blood walk a dangerous line between life and death attempting to fight using your very life force may leave you closer to death than you prefer. The most important thing for a Black Blood to remember is that winning is not nearly as important as living another day

Blood Fuel

The black-blooded class uses your hit points to fuel many of its effects. You can't spend hit points if it would reduce you to 0 hit points.

Some black-blooded features require you to make an attack roll or require creatures to make a saving throw to resist the feature's effects. The attack bonus and saving throw DC are calculated as follows:

Black blooded spell attack bonus = your Constitution modifier + your proficiency bonus
Black blooded save DC = 8 + your Constitution modifier + your proficiency bonus

Tainted Blood

Your blood runs dark and corrupted, a testament to the sinister forces that flow through you. This unnatural essence grants you resilience against toxins and corrosive assaults, as your tainted vitality resists what would cripple ordinary mortals.Your thick, dark blood carries a faint acidic tang and a sickly, metallic odor. Those who witness it sense something deeply unnatural.

You have Advantage on saving throws against the Poisoned Condition (such as Constitution saving throws to resist poison). Blood for Crafting: Your blood can serve as a raw ingredient for certain kits:

• Poisoner’s Kit: You may extract blood to craft poisons. When using a Poisoner’s Kit, you may substitute your blood in place of rare or basic components (e.g., venom or toxins), reducing crafting costs by 50%.
• Healer’s Kit: Your blood can be used to stabilize a dying creature or treat minor wounds. Using your blood in place of a charge from a Healer’s Kit imposes no penalties but causes you to take 1 unreducable damage

When used in a Poisoner’s Kit, your blood can create poisons with unnerving potency, such as causing hallucinations or internal decay. When used in a Healer’s Kit, its strange essence bolsters life but leaves faint, darkened scars You gain Resistance to Acid and Poison damage.

Blood Pool

You can use your action to deal 1 or more unreducable damage to yourself and throw a drop of blood on the ground beneath you, which rapidly grows to cover an area in a diameter of 5 feet per point of damage you dealt to yourself, to a maximum of your Constitution modifier. The first time a creature other than you or your allies enters an area covered in a blood pool or starts its turn there, it must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or take acid damage equal to 1d6 + your Constitution modifier. This damage increases by 1d6 when you reach 5th level (2d6) and now deal half damage even on succeed on a Dexterity saving throw , and again when you reach 11th level (3d6) and 17th level (4d6).

If a blood pool takes any fire damage, it explodes, dealing 1d6 fire damage to each creature within 5 feet of the blood pool. A creature may make a Dexterity saving throw, taking no fire damage on a successful saving throw.

Blood pools last for 1 minute, or until they explode. If two or more blood pools overlap, a creature suffers the ill effects of only one blood pool.

Shape Your Blood

Your Black Blood is Flexible and Mailable, Choose a Direction for it to grow in and assist you on your journey. You have three choices by which to shape it Black Sheild, Black Weapon, and Black Tatician. All Detailed at the End of The Class

Archetype

At 6th, 10th, and 14th Level You Gain an Ability from your Archetype

Improved Blood Pool

At 7th level, when using any feature that produces a blood pool, you may spend twice as many hit points to make two blood pools instead of one.

Blood Shift

At 9th level, as a bonus action, you may begin heavily bleeding. Whenever you activate this ability, and at the beginning of each of your turns after, you take damage equal to your combined level of all classes you have(Doubled for Tatician) and may spawn blood pools as a bonus action instead of the normal action. Additionally, a Blood pool is automatically spawned at your feat as if you had taken proficiency bonus unreducable damage.

While within 100 feet of a Blood Pool, whenever a creature attempts to leave a blood pool you may double the damage taken from this feature this turn and have it roll a strength save vs your black-blooded dc, losing its movement on failure.

Additionally, depending on your archetype you gain another effect while in this state.

Blood Spawn

At 11th level, as an action, while within 5 feet of a Blood Pool, choose a Beast with CR no higher than 1/2 your level, and spend HP equal to the Beast's HP. The Blood Pool then ends and is replaced with a blood version of that Beast which is under your control. It acts as a well-trained animal and has no other special connection to you. This Beast is vulnerable to fire and lasts a number of minutes equal to your Con Modifier. You cannot have more than one spawn at a time unless Blood Shift is active in which case you may have two.

Bleed Out

At 13th level, whenever a creature that you can see and is not a construct or undead within 30 feet of you takes damage, you may use your reaction to cause the target to have more blood flow out of them. This deals damage equal to Blood Pool or no damage on a successful Con save. Upon a Nat 1 on the Con Save, a Blood Pool is Spawned Beneath Them at no cost to you

Wall of Blood

At 15th level, as an action, you may take unreducable damage up to your class level a number of Blood Pools up to your Con Mod each expanding to cover a 5 ft wide by 10 ft long by 10 ft high area. These may not overlap but can stop short of one another. Each 5-foot segment of the walls has 5 hp x hp spent and is vulnerable to fire. The wall no longer counts as a Blood Pool and does not deal any damage. The walls last up to 1 hour.

Deform

At 17th level, as a reaction, you may take 5 unreducable damage, up to 5 x Class Level, and teleport 5 feet per 5 hp spent. This creates a Blood Pool at both the area you teleported from and to. This allows you to evade attacks, AoEs, and spells potentially.

Flow

At 18th level, the Improved Blood Pool replaces how many Blood Pools are created by spending twice hp with a number of Blood Pools equal to your Con Mod. Selective Improvements option four is now considered to be always active when making a Blood Pool.

Blood Rain
