<- Blood Thread Manipulation: This powerful Blood Demon Art grants its user the ability to create and manipulate razor-sharp threads made of their own blood. With precise control over these threads, the user can shape them into thin and indiscernible strings, similar to ordinary thread. By extending these threads from their fingertips, they become a formidable puppet master, capable of manipulating their opponents and the environment to their advantage. The threads generated through Blood Thread Manipulation possess extraordinary durability, rivaling the strength of Nichirin Swords. They can cut through objects and even block strikes from powerful weapons. Additionally, the user has the ability to infuse their blood into the threads, imbuing them with an intense crimson hue and further enhancing their strength and resilience. In combat, the user displays exceptional proficiency with their blood threads. They can create intricate web-like patterns to entangle and dismember their foes, employing devastating techniques such as the Cutting Thread Cage. This technique forms a lethal web-shaped string that ensnares opponents, slicing them into pieces. Another technique, the Murderous Eye Basket, constructs a spherical cage of shrinking threads that relentlessly cuts through its target. The user's mastery of Blood Thread Manipulation allows them to exhibit a range of techniques tailored for both offense and defense. From the Cutting Thread Rotation, a spinning wheel of threads that tears through adversaries upon contact, to the Thread Dash, a long-range attack that releases a barrage of three-pronged threads, they possess a versatile arsenal. Blood Thread Manipulation is a fearsome Blood Demon Art, enabling its wielder to harness the power of their own blood to create deadly threads. With their ability to control, shape, and infuse these threads, they become a formidable force in battle, capable of slicing through their enemies with deadly precision and turning the environment into a battlefield of their design.->.
Making a <-String Blood Demon Art->[edit]
<-Strong Points: Blood demon art practitioners possess exceptional thread manipulation skills and formidable combat abilities. Their threads are incredibly durable and sharp, capable of cutting through opponents and blocking attacks. They excel in controlling the battlefield and trapping enemies with their web techniques. Blood demon art users are highly adaptable and can adjust their strategies based on the situation
Weak Points: While powerful, blood demon art users may be vulnerable to agile and fast opponents who can evade their attacks. They heavily rely on their threads, and if those are disrupted or destroyed, their effectiveness decreases. Additionally, prolonged battles can drain their stamina and diminish their overall performance
Effectiveness with Party Members: Blood demon art practitioners can be valuable assets in a party. Their ability to control and restrain enemies provides opportunities for their allies to launch coordinated attacks. They can create defensive barriers and protect party members from harm. However, their specialization in combat may result in a lack of versatility outside of battle, requiring other party members to fulfill non-combat roles. Cooperation and communication with team members are vital for maximizing their effectiveness in a group setting.->.
Abilities: <-The blood demon art class relies heavily on several key attributes. Strength is crucial for physical combat and overpowering opponents. Dexterity aids in the precise manipulation of threads and swift movements. Constitution provides endurance and resilience against attacks. Charisma influences the intensity and effectiveness of demonic abilities. Intelligence allows for strategic planning and understanding of complex techniques. Wisdom helps resist the temptations of dark forces. A well-rounded blood demon art practitioner requires a balance of these attributes to excel.->.
Races: <-The blood demon art is an exclusive skill limited to demons and hybrid demons due to its inherently demonic nature. Other races do not possess the necessary demonic traits or connection to dark energies required to utilize this power. Demons: Demons, being the primary wielders of dark and demonic powers, have the highest likelihood of mastering the blood demon art. Their innate demonic nature and affinity for dark arts make them natural candidates for this class. Hybrid Demons: Hybrid demons, individuals with a mixed heritage of demon and another race, also have the potential to learn and harness the blood demon art. The strength of their demonic lineage and their understanding of their demonic side will determine their proficiency in this skill.->.
Alignment: <-Any->.
Starting Gold: <-starting gold; YdZ->×10 gp (<-average starting gold. This calculated by multiplying the number of die rolls by the die size plus one and multiplying the result by 5 [Y × (Z + 1) × 5].-> gp).
