Strain[edit]
Starting 1st level, you gain the ability to sacrifice your own vitality to enhance your physical abilities or to produce supernatural effects. You have a Strain Die, which is a d6. Whenever a feature requires you to roll your Strain Die, you must roll the d6, and lose hit points equal to the number rolled. You have three strain features when you gain this feature: Blood Rush, Blood Shield and Transferal, but you gain more as you gain levels in this class.
When a Strain feature requires a save to avoid its effects, the save DC is 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Constitution modifier.
- Taunt
You can use a Bonus Action to attract the attention and rage of a creature. Roll your Strain Die and choose one creature you can see within 30 feet. That creature must succeed on a Constitution saving throw, or is compelled into attacking you. That creature can't move further away from you than 30 feet, and have Disadvantage on attacks made against creatures other than you. The effect ends if you move further than 30 feet away from that creature, if you fall unconscious, if the creature die or if you taunt another creature.
- Blood Rush
You can use a Bonus Action and roll your Strain Die to take the Dash, Disengage or Dodge actions. When you use Blood Rush, any Strain feature currently active on yourself ends.
- Transferal
As a Bonus Action, you can roll your Strain Die and lose that amount of hit points to allow a creature you can see within 30 feet to regain hit points equal to the amount you just lost.
Blood Shield[edit]
Starting at 2nd level, your endurance grows as your vitality is sapped. When you roll your strain dice, you can create a magical blood shield on yourself that lasts until you finish a long rest. The blood shield has hit points equal to twice your Ravager level + your Constitution modifier. Whenever you take damage, the blood shield takes the damage instead. If this damage reduces the blood shield to 0 hit points, you take any remaining damage.
While the blood shield has 0 hit points, it can't absorb damage, but its power remains. Whenever you roll your Strain Die, the blood shield regains a number of hit points equal to the number rolled on the die (up to your shield maximum). Once you create the blood shield, you can't create it again until you finish a long rest.
Blood Rite[edit]
At 3rd level, you choose a Blood Rite. Choose between The Rite of the Dead, The Rite of the Soul, The Rite of the Abused, all detailed at the end of the class description. Your choice grants you features at 3rd level and again at 7th, 13th and 18th levels.
Ability Score Increase[edit]
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.
Bloodied Strike[edit]
Starting 5th level, you can roll your Strain Die to make an attack using your Bonus Action. On a hit, you cause the normal damage of the attack, plus additional necrotic damage equal to the number rolled on the die, and your target bleeds. A bleeding creature loses hit points equal to your Strain Die at the end of each turn, unless itself or another creature uses an Action to make a Wisdom (Medicine) check against your Strain save DC, or until that creature regains at least 1 hit point.
Leech[edit]
Also at 5th level, once per turn when you are below half your maximum hit points and hit a creature that is bleeding due to your Bloodied Strike, you regain hit points equal to your Constitution modifier (minimum of 1).
Adrenaline Surge[edit]
Starting 6th level, when you must make a Savings Throw that does not have disadvantage imposed on it, you may choose instead to use your Constitution modifier instead of the normal ability modifier. This feature can be used a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses after a short or long rest.
Distortion[edit]
Also at 6th level, as a reaction when you or a creature you can see within 30 feet is attacked, you can roll your Strain Die to cause that attack to be made with disadvantage.
Coagulation[edit]
Starting 7th level, when your Blood Shield is depleted, the remaining damage from that attack is halved, rounded down.
Willing Sacrifice[edit]
Starting 9th level, when a creature you can see within 30 feet of you is damaged by an attack or ability, you can as a reaction choose to suffer all the damage that would have been dealt to them instead.
Blood Sense[edit]
Also at 9th level, when you make an attack against a creature who has the bleeding condition that attack is made at advantage.
Blood Brothers[edit]
Starting 10th level, when taking a short rest and using hit dice to recover hit points, you can choose to give out some of your hit dice to other members of your party; if they roll these, they do not add their Con mod to the roll.
Fountain of Life[edit]
Also at 10th level, whenever you regain hit points through non-magical means, the amount of hit points you recover is doubled.
Blood Curse[edit]
Also at 11th level, When you make an attack against a creature with the bleeding condition you may choose to instead of dealing damage as normal, to roll a six-sided dice and suffer that much damage and have them make a Con Savings Throw, DC = 8 + Con mod + Prof bonus, if they fail, impose disadvantage on everything they do until the end of their next turn, this can be used a number of times equal to your prof bonus and you regain all expended uses of this feature after a long rest.
Hardened[edit]
Starting 14th level, as an action, you may roll a six-sided dice and suffer that much damage, when you do this, until the end of your next turn, every creature that successfully hits you with a melee attack suffers damage equal to your Con mod. This damage can not be reduced, it also can not reduce the creature below 1 HP.
Convergence[edit]
Also at 14th level, as an action, you can take 1d6 damage for every creature that you choose within 20ft. The next attack that you make that hits one of those creatures adds this amount of damage to the attack.
