• Your blood can be transfused successfully into any creature regardless of their blood type.
• You are able to maintain your food and water requirements from digesting the blood of others.

• When you use the Attack action with an unarmed strike or a CQC weapon on your turn, you can make one unarmed strike as a bonus action.
