Hemomancer

A creature is summoned from the beyond, demonic and evil in nature.

Creating a Hemomancer

Hemomancers are usually good. However, rogue hemomancers take on an evil alignment and will be hunted down by society. When creating a hemomancer, think about how your character developed their techniques. Did they study alongside a monastery of other hemomancers, or were they a vampire's plaything that escaped. Are they shunned from their society for practicing hemomancy? What drives you to the adventure? Are you wanting to spread the use of hemomancy? Were you driven from your home village for experimenting on animals? Were you drafted in the military for your deadly skill?

Unarmored Defense

Beginning at 1st level, while you are wearing no armor, your AC equals 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Constitution modifier.

Hemomancy

Beginning at 1st level, your practice of hemomancy allows you to access a unique combat style utilizing techniques using your own blood. You gain the following:

Blood Sense: You can sense blood from up to 60 feet away.

Control: As an action you can command any freestanding blood inside an area you choose that is in a radius of 60 feet, equal to a quarter of your carry capacity. Any attack actions using this feature is used in place of the standard attack action.

Blood Siphoning: As a result of tampering with your own life force, you can heal yourself by absorbing the blood of other creatures. As a Bonus Action, you can now absorb blood from a bloodied or dead creature. If a creature was hit by a slashing or piercing attack less than 1 minute before you use this ability, you can pull the blood out of them to deal 1d6 + your Constitution Modifier, and regain Hit Points equal to damage dealt. If the creature is living and bloodied, they must make a Constitution Saving Throw. On a success, the living creature takes no damage from this feature. You can also drink blood form vials that contain at least 500 ml of blood. When you consume a vial you can expend one hit dice and recover hit points equal to the hit dice number.

Healing spells that don't include resurrection spells only cause you to heal for half of the amount.

This damage increases to 2d6 at 6th Level, 3d6 at 11th Level, and 4d6 at 18th Level. The Amount of times per Short or Long Rest this feature per Long Rest is 1 at 1st Level, 2 at 6th Level, 3 at 11th Level, and 4 at 18th Level.

Hemo kinetic Combat: As a Hemomancer, you are attuned to the ability to create your own Blood Replicas. You expend health or use a vial or pool of blood to create your own weapons as a free action. The weapon you create must be one you are proficient in, and uses the same base stats of the weapon type you created.

Hemo kinetic ammunitions: Additionally you Expend 1 of your hit points to create ammo for any long range based weapons. If you create ammunition for a blood replica weapon you may expend 1 additional hit point to have the replica be automatically loaded again. Note: Blood replica ranged weapons cannot use non-magical standard ammunition.

Some of your hemomancy abilities require your target to make a saving throw to resist the techniques' effects. The saving throw's DC is calculated as follows:

Hemomancy save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + constitution modifier.

Taste for blood

Starting at 2nd level your understanding of Hemotology allows you know the blood of those you consume, you gain advantage on medicine checks that involve Blood. Additionally examination of blood can tell you the age, sex and type of creature it came from. It also allows you to know the languages the person knows whos blood you ingest for 24 hours, and at 9th level you can permanently learn one language you dont already know in this manner at random, but you must ingest at least a pint of their blood. Note: The blood ingested this way must be fresh.

Hemo-Concentration

When you reach 3rd level, you commit yourself to a Hemo-Concentration: Hemo-Kinesis or Vigor Vampirism. Your concentration grants you features at 3rd level and again at 6th, 11th, 14th and 17th level.

Impure Blade

At 3rd level as a bonus action you are able to empower your next attack by expending 1d10 of your hit points to amplify your next attack by 3d10

Ability Score Increase

When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

Extra Attack

At 5th level you can now attack twice during your turn instead of once when you take the attack action.

Iron Blood

Your blood replicas that are created from your own blood are also now considered magical in order to overcome resistances.

Blood Mage

At 10th level, your control over your own blood is becoming more impressive, allowing your blood to improve your physical and mental limitations. You become proficient in all saving throws.

You may now also enchant your blood. To do so you must drain one vial, of at least 500ml, of blood, then mix in different ingredients. You can only have one enchantment active in your blood at a time.

Ashen Blooded: Mix in a handful of ash, any blood replicas or blood related abilities now have a chance to set the target on fire. The target rolls a dexterity save vs your hemomancer DC and upon failure is set on fire and takes 1d8 fire damage at the beginning of each of their turns unless they successfully make the save, at which point the status ends. You are now also immune to fire damage.

Decay Blood: Mix in either the blood of an undead, or something rotten and putrid, any blood replicas or blood related abilities that use your own blood now additionally afflict 1d8 necrotic damage. You are now also immune to necrotic damage.

Poison Blood: Mix in a bit of a strong poison, any blood replicas or blood related abilities that use your own blood now have a chance to poison the target on hit. The target rolls a constitution save vs your hemomancer DC and upon failure takes 1d8 poison damage at the beginning of each of their turns unless they successfully make the save, at which point the status ends. You are now immune to poison damage.

Blood Thrall

At 13th level, you can attempt to grapple a target in melee range, and if successful you force feed the target some of your blood, either through a vial or by cutting yourself. The force feeding requires the target to make a constitution save VS your hemomancer DC. If the target is successful or has an intelligence lower than 3 or higher than 18 then nothing happens. If the target fails it falls prone in immense pain and takes 2d8 necrotic damage. If the necrotic damage doesn't kill the target it gets up 1 hour later and becomes a blood thrall. It will follow any command it's master gives to the best of its ability, can use its basic attacks and carry things for its master, looses any class or legendary actions but retains any actions such as extra attacks, and can also have its blood enchanted just as the hemomancer can. The thrall can no longer eat, drink, or sleep, and requires that the hemomancer feed it a small ammount of his/her own blood every day to survive. If the thrall doesn't feed for 24 hours it collapses on the ground and dies.

Blood Mage Enhancement

At 17th level you gain mastery over your enchanted blood. Each blood enchantment now improves its damage by 2d8 to 3d8 damage. In addition you no longer need reagents to change the enchantments on your blood and can do so at will during a short or long rest.

Blood Spike

At 18th level, when you successfully hit a target with a blood replica that could cut or pierce you may use your bonus action to cause a reaction in your target. The target makes a constitution save vs your hemomancer DC. Upon failure the target takes 3d8 necrotic damage and red spikes begin to violently protrude from its skin where its blood is being turned into an internal weapon. If you hit the same target with this ability again the target takes 8d8 necrotic damage instead and can no longer move or take actions as all of their blood has solidified into a magical internal spiky webbing, but for some reason this does not kill the target unless they are reduced to 0 hit points. You may only make this action twice per day and must then take a long rest to replenish its uses.

Greater Blood Pool
