Blood Avatar[edit]
Channeling with your own blood is often draining, and often results in death. In your dying breaths you commune with you patron to give you a second chance. At 3rd level you gain the ability "Blood Avatar". When your hit points reach 0, you may choose to fail all three death saves. If you do the blood drains from your corpse and forms an avatar of blood with 3*level HP. This avatar has the same abilities as your character, but loses all equipment. You control the blood avatar. Within 2d12 hours you are able to reform your corporeal body and replace the avatar. If the blood Avatar dies within this time, your body disappears and your soul is destroyed.
Bond of Blood[edit]
At 18th level, you can attune to one willing target. If you would take any non-magical damage instead you take none, and the attuned target takes half the amount you would.
Blood Mastery[edit]
At level 20 you have mastered using blood for magic. When casting spells of 3rd level and below you are able to use the blood of others to cast the spells. Casting a spell this way causes the target to take (Spell Level*Spell Level) necrotic damage. You do not lose life from "Blood Channeling" ability this way.
Patron[edit]
At 2nd level, your devotion to blood and scarifies attracts the attention of a patron. You may choose a patron and the patron will pay you with power in return for sacrifice.
Demanding Patron[edit]
- Focused Spells
Your patron enables you to cast more powerful spells. At 2nd level whenever you cast a spell of first level or higher, you must cast a second spell of the same level or lower; cantrips cannot be cast this way. Whenever you cast a spell, you lose twice as much HP from "Blood Channeling".
- Scabbed Avatar
Starting at 6th level your patron is not satisfied with your form after death. When controlling a blood avatar spells of third level and below do not cause you to lose HP. Your speed is reduced be 20 feet. You gain resistance to all damage types.
- Blood Clotting
Your patron is no longer satisfied with your blood alone. Starting at 10th level once per day you may use "Blood Clotting" on any one target you can see within 60 feet. Each target must make a constitution saving throw equal to your spell save DC on a failed save the targets take 6d6 necrotic damage, or half as much on a successful one. You then lose 10 HP.
- Ichor Outburst
Your patron becomes unsatisfied with the lack of devotion of others. Once every seven days you may use "Ichor Outburst". Your body becomes the epicenter for a eruption of gore. All creatures within 30 feet must make a constitution saving throw equal to your spell save DC. On a failed save targets within 30 feet take 5d10 necrotic damage, targets within 15 feet with max HP under 50 die and can not be resurrected, if the target has more then 50 max HP it instead takes an additional 5d10 necrotic damage. On a successful saving throw, the target is unaffected. This comes with a cost, using "Ichor Outburst" drains you completely, stripping you of all but the bare minimum, you become a blood avatar at 1 HP, your former body and all of its possessions are destroyed.
Sleeping Patron[edit]
- Sustained Life
Your patron cares not for plentiful sacrifices. Starting at 2nd level your spells do not drain as much life. When casting spells with "Blood Channeling" you lose half the life rounded down.

- Blood Rush
When in combat you feel enraged. Starting at level 14 once per combat you may take an additional two actions.

If the target of the hunt starts its turn it takes 1d4 necrotic damage.
