Hemomancer 1.0 (5e Class)

Hemo-fighter

As a Silent Girl walks into a horde of many creatures amidst the darkness of the night. She is unarmed, however she came prepared. She starts to stab herself with a piece of glass, and creates equipment out of her own blood. No, these aren't equipment. These are replicas of equipment from her own blood. She proceeds to slay every creature in her path with her newfound creations of her own blood.

Hemomancers specialize in using their blood to completely decimate all enemies in their path, or maybe support their allies.

(Please Note: This is a Revamped Variant of the Hemomancer Class.

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?
