 Blood Hunter

M
arred but resolute, his grimacing face
dripping with sweat, a half-orc reddens
a finger across his wounds to draw a
glowing, ruby glyph in the air. He grips
the weightless, completed sigil, twisting
it to unleash dark magical energies that
fire forward, cursing the stalking
behemoth from within its own veins to better even the odds.
A mysterious half-elf swathed in a worn cloak and rugged
leather armor carefully investigates a grizzly scene off the
roadway, her eyes flashing with recognition as she meditates
on the remnants of the massacre. The survivor who warily
hired her withdraws with a jump as the half-elf suddenly
shoots to her feet, sure in the knowledge of the culprit, where
it calls home, and how little time there is to find it.
Stepping into the lightless chambers of ancient dust and
lingering whispers, the halfling’s nose picks up the pungent
smell of imminent danger as she hears the scraping of bone
and claw on nearby stone. She winces as she runs her blade
across her palm, the steel transmuting her blood into glowing
runes of powerful magic, her sword suddenly engulfed in
arcane flames, eager to brand and burn the flesh of her
enemies.
Often feared or misunderstood, and driven by an unending
drive to destroy the wicked, blood hunters are clever, arcane
warriors who have bound their essence to the dark creatures
they hunt to better stalk and survive their prey. Armed with
the rites of forbidden blood magic and a willingness to
sacrifice their own vitality and humanity for the cause, they
protect the realms from the shadows, ever vigilant to avoid
becoming the same monsters they choose to hunt.
Sacrifice to Preserve Life
While most of the classic schools of magical study are well
known and widely respected, the less refined and macabre
incantations of Hemocraft have long been forbidden and lost
to most of the civilized world. Blood Hunters have reclaimed
these techniques away from the judging eyes of society,
finding blood magic’s esoteric nature effective against the
evils that often defy the divine powers that historically hold
the line.
Through careful study and practice, blood hunters have
honed the rites of hemocraft into their combat prowess,
forfeiting a facet of their health to infuse their weapons with
powerful blood magic and summoning the elements to
envelop their strikes.
They can sear an arcane brand into the body of their
quarry that hinders their foe’s abilities and punishes their
aggression, or call blood curses upon their enemies,
manipulating their bodies from the inside. Willing to suffer
whatever it takes to achieve victory, these adept warriors have Mercer's Blood Hunter

threaten the innocent. Although you don't need to reed it to understand
any of this version, please consider checking it out
before continuing, if you haven't already done it.

A Monster to Fight Monsters
Whether driven by the wish to make a difference in a
dangerous world, the need to take vengeance for a great
wrong they have suffered, being inspired by witnessing the
strange and powerful techniques of another blood hunter in
person, or just seeking a place to belong in an uncaring
world, the reasons one may take up the Hunter’s Bane and
choose this life are many and varied. In joining an order of
blood hunters, one is also joining a tight family bound by
service to each other and the common cause. For many, this
is the only family they have known or have left, so the kinship
felt between members of an order is a bond neigh
unbreakable.
Beyond the boundaries of the order, however, the life of a
blood hunter is often not an easy one. The rituals of the
Hunter’s Bane regularly leave one visibly changed and prone
to unsettle common folk, and the witnessing of hemocraft
can invoke a superstitious fear from even the most learned
scholar. While some societies have come to accept the good
deeds of the orders, many blood hunters publicly hide their
nature unless absolutely necessary, feeling more comfortable
in the wilds and wastes of the world where the Orders
commonly train. Even so, the best work a blood hunter can
do usually involves the poor and defenseless on the outskirts
of society, those prone to the corrupting touch of fiends and
dark intension. Braving the threat of vilification, these dark
protectors wade through civilization, earning coin as
mercenaries or bounty hunters, ever watching for the signs of
something more nefarious beneath the surface.

In choosing this path, a blood hunter has irrevocably given
a part of themselves to their cause, physically, emotionally,
and sometimes morally. The orders of blood hunters practice
their own unique ideals and methods, often employing
techniques with dark origins that test the strength and will of
these guardians. Many wrestle with the fear of losing this
struggle, so a life of discipline and vigilance drives their
travels as they wander the countryside in search of like-
minded adventurers and whispers of dark deeds afoot.
Creating a Blood Hunter
As you create a blood hunter, the most important aspects of
your character are why you were driven to this lifestyle, and
why do you seek to give up everything to wallow in the dark
with the evils you hunt? Did you lose a loved one to a fiendish
beast and now wish to prevent others from suffering the
same fate? Do you seek a sense of purpose and security, and
found this among the order that has take you in? Have you
always carried a seed of darkness within you, and seek kin to
watch over you and prevent you succumbing to it? Were you
once a holy warrior who strayed from his faith and was cast
out, but still seek to give yourself to the cause of protecting
the innocent? Or are you a criminal with a dark past seeking
to make amends, taking this life as a path of penance
What is your relationship with the powers of hemocraft
and the abilities it promises to grant you as you step closer to
its mastery? Do you respect and fear the ancient power that
surges through your veins, using them only when necessary?
Do you relish in the strength it offers you, embracing your
gifts and using them freely? Are you worried the superstitions
are right, and this power will eventually turn you into one of
the monsters you hunt? Or has your study instilled you with
the confident control of mind over matter, certain you can
bend these gifts to bring a brighter dawn?
Consider too that while a blood hunter belongs to an order,
many strike out on their own to do their best work. What
made you leave the comfort of your order? Do you intend to
return, or have you decided you have more to learn in the
world beyond? What do you seek in other adventurers that
can help you meet your goals?
While most blood hunters follow a path of good or
neutrality in their pursuits, some have fallen to the dark,
seductive side of hemocraft and use their abilities for selfish
and evil purposes. These deviants are always thrown from
the order, and often hunted along with the creatures they
once trained to fell.

Blood Hunter Order
Choose an order of blood hunters, which reflects your
relation with the hemocraft magic: Order of the Ghostslayer,
Order of the Profane Soul, Order of the Mutant, or Order of
the Lycan, all detailed at the end of the class description. The
order you choose grants you features at 1st level, and again at
3rd, 7th, 10th, and 15th level.
Crimson Rite
You learn to invoke a rite of hemocraft to draw blood within
yourself to recover some vitality. On your turn, you can use
your bonus action to spend a Hit Die to regain hit points
equal to one roll of your Hit Die + your Constitution modifier
(with a minimum bonus of +1).
You can take this action a number of times equal to your
proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when
you finish a long rest.
Fighting Style
At 2nd level, you adopt a particular style of fighting as your
specialty. Choose one of the following options. You can't take
a Fighting Style option more than once, even if you later get
to choose again.
Archery
You gain a +2 bonus to attack rolls you make with ranged

weapon.

Blood Maledict
You have survived a dangerous, long-guarded ritual that alters
your life's blood, known as the Hunter's Bane, forever binding
you to the darkness and honing your strength against it. This
bane empowers your body to control and shape hemocraft
magic, using your own blood and life essence to fuel your
abilities
Blood Curses
At 2nd level, you gain the ability to channel a part of your vital
essence to curse and manipulate creatures through
hemocraft magic. You can use your blood curse once, and
gain more uses of this feature as shown in the Blood Curse
Uses of the Blood Hunter table. You regain all expended uses
when you finish a short or long rest.
Blood curses last for 1 minute and you must maintain
concentration during that time, as if you were casting a spell.
Blood Curses Known
You learn two blood curses of your choice, detailed in the
"Blood Curses" section at the end of the class description.
The Blood Curses Known column of the Blood Hunter table
shows when you learn more Blood Curses of your choice.
Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can
choose one of the blood curses you know and replace it with
another blood curse of your choice.
Hemocraft Die
When you use your Blood Maledict, you choose which curse
to invoke. While invoking a blood curse, you lose a number of
hit points equal to one roll of your hemocraft die, which is a
d4.
At 5th level, you gain the ability to empower your curses.
When you invoke a blood curse, you may lose a number of hit
points equal to two rolls of your hemocraft die instead of one.
This extra hemocraft die is used to fuel additional effects for
your curse, detailed in each curse in the "Blood Curses"
section.
You may spend more hemocraft dice in this manner as
shown in the Hemocraft Dice column of the Blood Hunter
table. Hit points you lose by spending hemocraft dice can't
provoke you to lose concentration, except it incapacitates
you. Hit points lost by spending hemocraft dice ignore
immunity, resistance and temporary hit points. Creatures that
do not have blood in their bodies are immune to blood
curses.
Hemocraft Ability
Wisdom is your hemocraft ability for your blood curses, since
your control over blood draws upon your raw attunment to
the primal creatures essence. You use your Wisdom
whenever a curse refers to your hemocraft ability. In addition,
you use your Wisdom modifier when setting the saving throw
DC for a curse you invoke.
Hemocraft Save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus +
your Wisdom modifier

Ability Score Improvement
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
Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once,
whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.
Hardened Curse
Beginning at 6th level, you learn to harden your connection to
your blood curses. Whenever you make a saving throw to
maintain your concentration on a blood curse, you can lose a
number of hit points equal to one roll of your hemocraft die to
reroll it and take the second result.
You also learn to use your own blood to affect bloodless
creatures. When you invoke a blood curse, you may spend an
additional hemocraft die to target any creature, whether it
has blood or not. This die does not count against your
hemocraft dice limit.

Thirst
At 9th level, the wounds of your enemies awakes a primal
instinct within you. Once per turn, you can place a thirst
mark to each hostile creature within 30 feet that has half or
less of its hit points maximum or that is bleeding. This mark
last until the end of your next turn, and you can place this
mark to an already marked creature to reset the duration, but
for a creature to be eligible, it needs to have functional blood
in its body. You can effectively see any marked creature even
if you are blinded, in magical darkness, or the creature is
invisible, and your speed is increased by 5 feet for each active
mark, up to a maximum of 30 feet.
At 14th level, the range of this instinct is increased to 60
feet.
Grim Senses
By 13th level, your awareness of the living creatures are
always exalted. You can't be surprised by creatures with
blood, and you may give yourself a bonus to your initiative
rolls equal to your Wisdom modifier.
Additionally, you can track any creature which blood you
have access to, as long as you are in the same plane of
existence. To get the amount and the conditions for the blood
to be suitable, it requires you to receive it willingly from the
creature. Alternatively, if a creature is unconscious, you can
expend 1 minute retrieving blood you can use for this feature.
You need a separate empty vial for each creature's blood.
Predilect Malediction
At 18th level, you uncover the secrets of one of your blood
curses increasing your hemocraft dice limit for that blood
curse to 8. In addition, you may use the chosen blood curse
once without counting for your blood curse uses. You regain
the ability to do so when you finish a short or long rest.
You may spend a workweek of downtime to research
another blood curse. When you finish this period, you gain
the benefits of this feature for the new chosen curse in place
of the previous one.
Sanguine Mastery
While you are concentrating on a blood curse, you may
invoke another one while maintaining concentration on the
first by spending one additional hemocraft die. This die
counts for your limit. At the beginning of your turn, if you are
concentrating on two blood curses, you must spend one
hemocraft die or lose concentration on both curses.
Whenever you are forced to make a saving throw for
maintaining concentration, you make only one and on a
failure, you lose concentration on both.
Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you
finish a long rest.
Custom properties and conditions
In this document there are new weapon
properties and conditions that help to capture
some of the flavor for this class. You can found the
description of those at the end of the class. Most
of them are from /u/ApostolApostolov's great
compendium, Grit and Glory.

Blood Hunter Orders
There are a handful of secretive orders of blood hunters that
guard their cryptic techniques and rituals. One must adhere
to one of these orders to even be granted access to the
Hunter’s Bane rite that starts their journey, and only once
they’ve proven their dedication and ability will the secrets of
the order begin to be revealed. It’s within these small,
enigmatic sects that the real power of a blood hunter is
learned.
Order of the Ghostslayer
The Order of the Ghostslayer is the oldest of the orders,
having originally rediscovered the secrets of blood magic and
refined them for combat against the scourge of undeath.
Ghostslayers seek out and study the moment of death,
obsessing over the mysteries of the transition and how it can
become corrupted by unholy powers to rise once more.
Tuning their abilities to annihilate such abominations, these
zealous blood hunters seek out the sources of such
necromantic energies, intent to destroy them wherever they
arise.
Order of the Ghostslayer Features
Level Feature
1st Bonus Proficiency
3rd Shelter from the Unholy
7th Ethereal Step
10th Hardened Spirit
15th Rites of the Exorcist
Bonus Proficiency
When you choose this order at 1st level, you gain proficiency
with heavy armor and shields.
Shelter from the Unholy
Beginning at 3rd level, your order teaches advanced
protection against those who you seek. You have resistance to
necrotic damage, and you can cast protection from evil and
good a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus. You
regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest, and
while you have no uses available, you can spend one use of
your Blood Maledict feature to use this feature again.
Additionally, undead creatures count as having blood for
the purposes of affecting them with your blood curses.
Ethereal Step
At 7th level, you learn to step through the Ethereal Plane. As
a bonus action, you can cast the etherealness spell with this
feature, without expending a spell slot, but the spell ends at
the end of the current turn.
Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you
finish a short or long rest.
Hardened Spirit
Beginning at 10th level, you can't be possesed by any means
and you gain the benefits of your Thirst feature with undead
creatures, whether a creature of this type is below half its hit
points maximum or not.
This is unofficial Fan Content permitted under the Fan Content Policy. Not approved/endorsed by Wizards. Portions of the materials used

In addition, whenever you use your Crimson Rite feature,
you gain a number of temporary hit points equal to the
amount of hit points regained.
Rites of the Exorcist
At 15th level, you've honed your hemocraft to tear wicked
influence from your allies. You learn the Protective Curse for
your Blood Maledict feature. If you already know this curse,
you learn a different blood curse of your choice. This doesn’t
count against your number of blood curses known.
Additionally, the Protective Curse gains the following
modifiers:
Resilient (1 hemocraft die): For the duration, the first time
the target would drop to 0 hit points as a result of taking
damage, the target drops to 1 hit point instead.
Cleansing (4 hemocraft dice): You cast the greater
restoration spell on the target, without needing to provide the
material component for the spell. Alternatively, you may end
one effect that possesed the target.
Order of the Profane Soul
Those who have taken to the Order of the Profane Soul have
seen the limits of hemocraft against some of the most ancient
and cruel fiends and terrors of the world. Unable to pursue
beings of such power, this order trusted in their resilience
and delved into this same well of corrupting arcane
knowledge, making pacts with lesser evils to better combat
the greater.
While they may have traded a part of themselves, members
of this order believe the power gained far outweighs the
price, for even devils now quake when they know they've
drawn the attention of the Order of the Profane Soul.

Scarring (4 hemocraft dice): Whenever you hit a creature
with the cursed weapon, that creature has disadvantage on
the next saving throw it makes against a blood curse or spell
you cast before the end of your next turn.
Order of the Mutant
The process of the Hunter’s Bane is a painful, scarring, and
sometimes fatal experience. Those that survive find
themselves irrevocably changed, enhanced. Some found this
experience exalting, embracing the ability to alter one’s own
physiology through a combination of hemocraft and
corrupted alchemy. Over generations of experimentation, a
splinter order of blood hunters began to emerge, one that
focused on brewing toxic elixirs to modify their capabilities in
battle, altering their blood and, over time, become something
beyond what they once were. They called themselves the
Order of the Mutant. Researching their targets to know their
strengths and weaknesses, these blood hunters can alter
their biology to be best prepared for the coming conflict.

Beginning at 3rd level, you learn forbidden alchemical
formulas that temporarily alter abilities. At the end of a short

As a bonus action you can consume a single mutagen, and
the effects and side effects last for 1 minute, unless otherwise

you can use a bonus action to focus and flush specific toxins
from your system, ending the effects and side effects of one

needing to concoct it in advance.

Order of the Lycan
Of the many terrible curses that plague the realm, few are as
ancient or as feared as Lycanthropy. Passed through blood,
this affliction seeds a host with the savage strength and
hunger for violence of a wicked beast. The Order of the Lycan
is a proud order of blood hunters who undergo “The Taming,”
a ceremonial inflicting of lycanthropy from a senior member.
These hunters then use their abilities to harness the power of
the monster they harbor without losing themselves to it.
Through intense honing of one’s own willpower, combined
with the secrets of the order’s blood magic rituals, members
learn to control and unleash their hybrid form for short
periods of time. Enhanced physical prowess, unnatural
resilience, and razor sharp claws make these warriors a
terrible foe to any evil that crosses their path. Yet, no training
is perfect, and without care and complete focus, even the
greatest of blood hunters can temporarily lose themselves to
the bloodlust.
Order of the Lycan Features

Swift. You also gain advantage on Wisdom and Charisma
checks on social interactions with beasts and other
lycanthropes in hybrid or animal form.

Primal Senses
Also starting at 1st level, you begin to adopt the improved

(Perception) checks depending on your bestial attunement.
At 3rd level, your senses get heightened, gaining additional
benefits.

that rely on hearing. At 3rd level, you can't be surprised by
creatures within 10 feet of you, provided it can be sound in

that rely on sight. At 3rd level, you can see up to 1 mile away
with no difficulty, able to discern even fine details as though
looking at something no more than 100 feet away from you.
Hybrid Transformation
At 3rd level, you begin to learn to control the lycanthropic
curse that now lives in your blood. As a bonus action, you can
transform into your hybrid form for up to 1 hour. You can
speak, use equipment, and wear armor in this form. You can
revert to your normal form earlier as a bonus action. You
automatically revert to your normal form if you fall
unconscious, drop to 0 hit points, or die.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your
proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when
you finish a long rest. While you have no uses available, you
can spend one use of your Blood Maledict feature to use this
feature again. While you are transformed, you gain the
following features:
Resilient Hide. You have resistance to bludgeoning,
piercing, and slashing damage from nonmagical attacks not
made with silver weapons. While you are not wearing any
armor, your Armor Class equals 10 + your Dexterity modifier
+ your Constitution modifier.
Predatory Strikes. You can use Dexterity instead of
Strength for the attack and damage rolls of your unarmed
strikes. When you use the Attack action with an unarmed
strike, you can make an unarmed bite attack as a bonus
action.
Your unarmed strikes deal 1d6 slashing damage, and your
bite attack deals 1d8 piercing damage. The damage increases
to 1d8 and 1d10 at 11th level, respectively.

The Onus of Lycanthropy
Those inducted into the Order of the Lycan
choose this path with conviction, understanding
the terrible burden it is and the challenges it
brings. Where most who embrace this curse grow
wicked, mad, even murderous, these blood hunters
accept the gifts of the beast while maintaining
control through intense training and blood magic.
These factors enable a member of the Order of the
Lycan to prevent the spread of their curse through
blood, should they wish to. One of the most sacred
oaths of this order is to never infect another
without the order’s sanction.
Should a member of the Order of the Lycan be
cured of the lycanthropic curse, it is a terrible
shame on their name, the order, and those who
carry the curse still. There have been passages
written about members being cleansed against
their will, but those brothers and sisters readily
return to the order to undergo a renewed initiation
of The Taming, reintroducing the curse to their
bodies and restoring their honor.
Lycanthropy comes in many forms. Each version
of the curse is bound to a specific beast: wolf,
bear, tiger, boar, and rat are a few of the more well-
known variations. The strain of the curse defines
the beast a hybrid form will share, and the bestial
attunement features are the reflection of that form.
Bloodlust. If you begin your turn with no more than half of
your maximum hit points, you must succeed on a Wisdom
saving throw DC 10 or move directly towards the nearest
creature to you and use the Attack action against that
creature. You can choose whether or not to use your Extra
Attack feature for this frenzied attack. If there is more than
one possible target, you choose the target of your attacks. You
then regain control for the remainder of your turn.
If you are under an effect that prevents you from
concentrating (like the barbarian’s Rage feature), you
automatically fail this saving throw.
Shapechanger Fortitude
Starting at 7th level, you learn to unleash and control more of
the beast within. While in your hybrid form, your unarmed
strikes are considered magical for the purpose of overcoming
resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage.
In addition, you gain the following benefit depending on
your bestial attunement:
Feral. While you are not wearing heavy armor, you gain a
+1 bonus to your AC.
Predator. You have advantage on an attack roll against a
creature if at least one of your allies is within 5 feet of the
creature and the ally isn't incapacitated.
Swift. You can take the Dash or Disengage action as a
bonus action on each of your turns.
Advanced Transformation
At 10th level, if you know the Cursed Weapon curse, or if you
learn it on later levels, while in hybrid form it gains the
following modifier:
12

you need. You have a +1 bonus to the attack and damage rolls
made using them, and you have advantage on Strength

In addition, you are adept at moving through different
environments, depending on your bestial attunement.
Feral. You gain swimming speed equal to your walking
speed.
Predator. Your walking speed increases by 10 feet and you
ignore difficult terrain.
Swift. You gain climbing speed equal to you walking speed.
Rites of the Beast
At 15th level, you've honed your hemocraft to tear wicked
influence from your allies. You learn the Marking Curse for
your Blood Maledict feature. If you already know this curse,
you learn a different blood curse of your choice. This doesn’t
count against your number of blood curses known.
Additionally, the Marking Curse gains the following
modifiers:
Persistent (1 hemocraft die): If the target drops to 0 hit
points before this curse ends, you can use a bonus action on
a subsequent turn of yours to mark a new creature.
Vicious (4 hemocraft dice): Each time you hit the marked
creature with an unarmed attack, you decrease the number
you need to roll on the d20 to score a critical hit by 1.
Whenever you score a critical hit, you regain hit points equal
to half the amount of damage dealt and revert the number
needed to get the critical hit to the original.
Blood Curses
Binding Curse
Blood Curse
Casting Time: 1 action
Range: 30 feet
Crimson veins appear below your enemy, binding a creature
of your choice within range. These bloody tendrils then lash
out to another target you choose, which must be within 10
feet of the first target. Both creatures must succeed on a
Strength saving throw, or be binded. At the beginning of its
turn, if a binded creature is more than 30 feet apart of the
other, it can repeat the saving throw, ending the effect on a
success. If one of the targets saves, the curse ends
immediately.
On your turn, after you deal damage to a binded creature,
you may use a bonus action to deal the same amount of
damage to the other creature binded by this curse. The
damage type dealt with this effect is necrotic, regardless of
the triggering damage type.
When you invoke this curse, you can spend hemocraft dice
up to your limit to add the following modifiers to Binding
Curse (you may add multiple modifiers). Take into account,

You focus on the control of your own blood vessels, achieving
stronger physical capabilities. For the duration, whenever you
make a Strength or Dexterity check, you may add your
Wisdom modifier (with a minimum bonus of +1) to the roll.
When you invoke this curse, you can spend hemocraft dice
up to your limit to add the following modifiers to Cursed
Augmentation (you may add multiple modifiers). Take into
account, invoking the curse already spends one of your dice.
Potent (1+ hemocraft die): Once before the curse ends, you
can give yourself advantage on weapon attack rolls on your
turn. For that turn, one attack you hit deals an extra 1d12
necrotic damage for each die spent. You may choose which
attack you add damage to after hit.
Weightless (1 hemocraft die): Your jump distance is tripled
until the curse ends. In addition, whenever you receive falling
damage, you may reduce it by an amount equal to twice you

Creatures of your choice are unaffected by it. When a
creature enters the area for the first time on a turn or starts
its turn there, it must make a Constitution saving throw. On a
failed save, the creature takes 1d10 slashing damage. On a
successful save, the creature takes half as much damage.
When you invoke this curse, you can spend hemocraft dice
up to your limit to add the following modifiers to Cursed Aura
(you may add multiple modifiers). Take into account, invoking
the curse already spends one of your dice.
Expanded (1-4 hemocraft die): The range of the zone
increases by 5 feet for each die spent.
Savage (1+ hemocraft die): The curse deals an additional
1d10 damage for each die spent.

throw.

 Tripping (3 hemocraft dice): You can use your bonus action
to force affected creatures within range that are no more than
one size larger than you, to make a Strength saving throw. On
a failure, the creature retakes the curse damage and falls
prone.
Cursed Weapon
Blood Curse
Casting Time: 1 bonus action
Range: Self
You conjure a weapon in your hand, formed from the same
blood you sacrificed. The weapon can take any form from the
Weapons table in the Player's Handbook. It deals the same
amount and type of its mundane counterpart, but it counts as
magical for purposes of overcoming resistance and immunity
to nonmagical attacks and damage. Once per turn, you may
add an extra 1d4 damage to one attack you make with it.
If you create a weapon with the ammunition property, it
produces it's own. When you drop the weapon or throw it, as
well as when the ammunition impacts, it dissipates at the end
of your turn, leaving a small blood stain.
When you invoke this curse or as a bonus action, you can
morph the weapon into different forms, spending the
hemocraft dice cost (1 in case of basic weapons when
changing form). While the spell persists, you can use a bonus
action to cause the weapon to reappear in your hand. You can
do both effects using the same bonus action.
Defensive (1 hemocraft die): You create a melee weapon
without the two-handed property and a shield. You are

the same type. You may deal the extra 1d4 damage once per
turn with each weapon.
Serrated (2 hemocraft dice): You create a sharp great
weapon that counts as a martial melee weapon, it deals 1d10
damage and has the cruel, reach and two-handed properties.
On your turn, when you hit a creature with this weapon,
you may choose another creature within 5 feet of the target
and within your reach. If you would hit that creature with the
attack roll, you may deal the weapon's damage. You don't add
your ability modifier to this damage, unless that modifier is
negative. Additionally, when you score a critical hit to a
creature with this weapon, the target must succeed on a
Constitution saving throw or it starts bleeding.
About Melee Cover
Keep in mind that an attack does not have to be
a range attack to be affected by cover. If any of the
creatures targeted by your Serrated Cursed
Weapon is behind a source that normally would
grant cover, take it into account when calculating if
your attack does hit.
Chained (3 hemocraft dice): You create two blades connected
to each other by a blood dripping chain. The weapon counts
as two martial melee weapons, they deal 1d8 slashing
damage, and has the brutal, finesse, light and thrown (range
20/60) properties.

more than one size larger than you. For the duration, if the

feet away until the start of its next turn.
If the target starts its turn more than 20 feet from you, it
must make a Strength saving throw, or be dragged 10 feet
towards you. If the target succeeds in this saving throw for
two turns in a row, the curse ends immediately.

Curse (you may add multiple modifiers). Take into account,

considered magical, except stated by the source.
As an action, a creature may attempt to seal the wound, by
spending one use of a healer's kit and with a successful
DC 10 Wisdom (Medicine) check. If the creature has
already been affected by the bleeding condition after its
last long rest, the DC of this check is increased to 15
instead.

attack during its turn.
If the creature attempts to cast a spell with a casting time

take effect until the creature's next turn, and the creature
must use its action on that turn to complete the spell. If it
can't, the spell is wasted.
