Sea Of Blood[edit]
Beginning at 3rd level, your control over blood magic allows you to pull blood to you and cause it to orbit your body in crimson strands. Your Sea Of Blood is represented by a 15 foot radius centered on you. You can activate it by spending a Bonus Action and taking necrotic damage equal to one roll of your Hemocraft Die.
While Active: Whenever a creature inside the area takes damage slashing or piercing (yourself included, however damage used in your crimson rites are not counted), put a Blood Counter on that creature. A creature can have a number of Blood Counters equal to its Constitution Score. Whenever a creature's number of Blood Counters would exceed its maximum, the next attack you make against the creature that would deal slashing or piercing damage, deals additional damage equal to a number of rolls of your Hemocraft Die equal to the target's Blood Counter maximum.
Cowled Death[edit]
Beginning at 7th level, you have learned to channel Bhaal's might through the blood taken from others. While your Sea Of Blood feature is active, you can spend Blood Counters of creatures inside it to cast Blood Rituals.

|---|---|
| 1-3 | Touch of Death. Whenever you strike a creature with an attack that deals slashing or piercing damage, you can spend up to three Blood Counters to deal necrotic damage equal to a number of rolls of your Hemocraft Die equal to the number of Blood Counters spent. |
| 2+ | Bloody Deluge. For an amount of turns equal to the number of Blood Counters spent, the effective radius your Sea of Blood feature is multiplied by your proficiency bonus. |

For every Blood Counters spend beyond 6, Hemocraft save DC increases by 1 for the affected creature only. |
