Hematic Expertise

When you choose this Archetype at 3rd Level, you gain proficiency with the Medicine skill. If you already have proficiency in said skill, you gain proficiency in one other skill of your choice. Additionally, whenever you score a Critical Hit, that qualifies for your Blood Drain feature you can fill two extra Blood Vials.

Bloodletting

Also at 3rd Level, you learn imbue your attacks with your enemy's strength, mimicking their skills and magical abilities with uncanny accuracy. You gain the following features:

Blood Drain. Whenever you hit a creature with a Melee Attack that deals either Piercing or Slashing damage, you can make an Intelligence (Medicine) Check, if you do, the target of the attack must roll a Constitution Saving Throw. You fill an amount of Blood Vials equal to the difference between the results, but only if yours is higher. You can also target a corpse to fill your Blood Vials, however a corpse will always fill 1 Blood Vial and can only be drained once.

You can have a number of Blood Vials equal to your Proficiency Bonus + your Intelligence modifier. Attacks targeting Constructs, Elementals or Undead do not fill any Blood Vials. Filled Blood Vials become unusable after 24 hours. You cannot use this feature on friendly creatures.

Hemantigrafi. Once a creature that you can see uses an Ability within 60 feet of you, you can use your Reaction to make an Intelligence Check. The DC of which is equal to 10 + the creature's CR or Level. On a success, you learn the Ability the creature used. You can remember a number of learned Abilities equal to your Proficiency Bonus + your Intelligence modifier.

To use a learned Ability, you must spend an amount of Blood Vials equal to the CR or Level of the creature you learned it from, rounded up. If you hit your maximum number of learned Abilities, you must forget one to learn another. Learned Abilities will dissipate after you finish a Long Rest. Should you attempt to relearn an Ability you have used before, you roll your Intelligence Check with Advantage.

Double Trouble. You transform into a copy of the targeted creature for an amount of minutes equal to 10 x the damage dealt. While transformed you gain Advantage on any Charisma (Deception) Checks to pretend to be your target. The creature you turn into must be Humanoid, either the same size as you, or one step above or below you on the size chart. This transformation is superficial and does not change any of your game statistics.
