The Blood Mage

The Blood Mage is a kamikaze arcane spellcaster meant to be played by those who want to live on the edge.

This is a work in progress. The class is being developed and tested in Portuguese, so it may take a while to translate it. Suggestions regarding anything in this file are needed, including this first sentence, the spelling and clarity of this file.

There are still slots for more spells to be created and written, altough it is entirely possible to play on low levels with only the spells presented here, since they are to work on all levels, as do spells from all classes. Suggestions are needed to reach the complete class, as is playtest needed to reach perfection, and I'm aware that those suggestions might never come, since we've got here many readers and so little contributors. That said, let's see what we've got so far:

“The blood mages are conquerors of ages past.” 

 

OVERVIEW

Play Style: The blood mage, also called a sangromancer, is meant for those who wish to manage a lot of resources: Hit points, mana points, blood points and recoveries. Oh, not only yours, but your friend's as well. Furthermore, for the blood mage, the staggered condition is always important, be it about his hit points or someone else’s, and the improvement system on spells may prove to be a challenge to new players. Play this class if you're up for a most likely complex experience with many choices to be made round after round.

Ability Scores: Intelligence is fundamental for arcane spells, and the blood magic comes directly from vigor. A blood mage needs an elevated intelligence if he wishes to make the enemy's blood obey his instructions, and an elevated constitution to make sure his is the last body standing by the end of the battle.

Races: Between humans and tribal races it is more common to find blood mages. The fragility of the elves does not qualify them as good blood mages, although some dark elves specialize in these sinister arts. Dwarves and Halflings are very conservative with respect to any kind of arcane magic, and orcs often use the magic of blood unwisely, for their lack of intelligence.Blood mages gain a +2 bonus to intelligence or constitution, as long as it isn’t the same ability score they chose for their racial bonus.

Backgrounds: Shaman, battle surgeon, specialist in open fracture, magic helm of past eras, vampire hunter, vampire spawn, stirge cultivator, student of prohibited art

Icons: The diabolist is in favor of blood spells, as long as it doesn't include her own blood, while the Orc Lord imbues his own blood in his most trusted followers. The Lich King despises the blood mages, thinking sangromancy to be an inferior version of necromancy, but the Elf Queen has a legion of indestructible dark elves that made blood rituals to acquire a different form of unlife. The crusader has an order of sangromancer hunters, and the Three use their powerful draconic blood links to increase the power of their spells.

GEAR

The typical blood mage has a cape and a dagger ready to be drawn beneath it, a surgical instrument in each of its various leather belts wrapped around his chest and legs, jars 

with dubious red content and a series of dry parts of enemies. The blood mages have the habit of carrying samples of skin, bone and blood of every enemy they faced, in order to facilitate their rituals.

Using the blood of others, a blood mage starts with 25 gold pieces. Using himself as blood source is risky but sometimes more rewarding, and hence the sangromancer start with 1d6 x 10 gold pieces.

WEAPONS

The dagger is the blood mage’s best companion, and they are better with the dagger than you would think. Being knowledgeable of the weaknesses of his enemies, his damage with daggers are better than their less trained arcana comrades, and blood mages can use intelligence instead of strength to melee attack rolls.

CLASS FEATURES

All blood mages have four class features: Mana and Blood Points, Domain Over Blood, Sangromancy and Ritual Magic.

Mana and Blood Points

Your basic resource is Mana Points. You have a number of Mana Points depending on your level, listed in the blood mage level progression chart, and this is a daily resource. Most of your spells use Mana Points.

Besides that, you may use Blood Points instead of Mana Points. Blood Points are equivalents to Mana Points, but can only be obtained and spent during the Sangromancy state and vanish after the battle. Since there’s little reason on hoarding Blood Points, you will most likely use them whenever you’re able to.

You can only spend 1 Blood Point per level per turn. Being a per-battle resource, Blood Points are lost by the end of the battle, but you heal hit points equal to your level multiplied by the unexpended Blood Points without the need to use a recovery for this.

Adventurer feat	Increase your hit point base by 1 (probably to 7). Once per turn, when you become staggered, you receive 1 Blood Point.
Champion feat	Increase your hit point base by 1 (probably to 8). Once per turn, when you become staggered, you receive 2 Blood Points.
Epic feat	Increase your hit point base by 1 (probably to 9). Once per turn, when you become staggered, you receive 3 Blood Points.

Domain Over Blood

You know all the blood magic secrets, and can control some amounts of blood that are close to you. You receive the at-will spell Hemorrhage or Drain, at your choice. That’s a known spell in addition to your known spells.

The blood magic is malleable, and you may add improvements to your spells. The improvement cost (generally 1 Mana Point ) must be paid before you roll for the spell, and you cannot go back on that once you’ve rolled for it. Your spells may only be affected by one improvement at a time.

On the other hand, almost all of your abilities are only effective against blood based creatures, or another similar viscous fluid. To be precise, incorporeal creatures and elemental creatures are your great weakness. Only your dagger spells and effects can affect those kinds of enemies.

Adventurer feat

You’re able to affect elemental creatures now. However, incorporeal enemies are still out of reach.

Sangromancy

Once per battle, as a quick action, you may enter the state of Sangromancy. In this state you receive the following benefits and penalties:

·         You can receive and hold Blood Points;

·         You may pay 1d4 hit points for each of Mana Point of a spell to cast it, instead of paying the mana cost.

·         You cannot be healed by neither mundane nor magic means from external fonts that are not yourself (So, no heal from clerics, nor potions);

·         You cannot Rally.

Ending the Sangromancy state is also a quick action.                                              

Adventurer feat	You gain 1 Blood Point for each non-mook creature you kill (or the last mook of a mob).
Champion feat	You may use the hit points of a nearby volunteer ally instead of your own to pay the mana costs of your spells in Sangromancy.
Epic feat	One spell per day, you may use the hit points of any nearby creature instead of your own to pay the mana costs. If the target is helpless, it dies.

Ritual Magic

                You may cast your spells as rituals.

CLASS TALENTS

                Choose three:

 

Thirst of Blood

Against staggered enemies, your crit range with blood mage attacks expands by 2.

Adventurer feat	Your critical strikes against staggered enemies gives you 1 Blood Point.
Champion feat	Your crit range with blood mage attacks expands by 2 (now 4).
Epic feat	You receive 1 Blood Point everytime you receive damage from an enemy.

Master of the Art 

Your studies about the blood magic gave you an additional known spell, and your spells may be improved twice, as long as the improvements selected are different form each other. Furthermore, whenever you cast a blood mage spell that has a mana cost, you may use an additional move action to give it the following improvement: The target of this spell suffers additional damage equal to your Intelligence modifier (double at level 5, triple at level 8) for 1 Point of Mana.

Adventurer feat	You receive 1 temporary Mana Point whenever you cast a spell that has a mana cost. This temporary point must be used right away to pay for an improvement of the spell (this means that your spells get one improvement for free).
Champion feat	Increase your Total Mana Points by double of your intelligence modifier (triple at level 8).
Epic feat	You reach the peak of the blood mastery, and are now able to transform blood into a permanent resource. Whenever a spell or ability says you would receive one or more Blood Point, you may choose to receive the value as Mana Point instead. As you’re then receiving Mana Points, you’re not needed to be in Sangromancy.

Hematophagous Ally

You have a hematophagous ally. It may be a bat, a giant leech, a giant flea, a giant tick, a giant larva, a stirge or even a vampire spawn. This ally is weak, but can become decent by spending some feat on this talent.

Everytime your ally hits an enemy that you’re able to affect with your blood magic, your ally heals one hit point per level. This healing cannot exceed it’s total life points.

By the end of every battle (or dramatic scene), you may bring your ally back to life while imbuing on him the blood of the fallen enemies, a ritual that takes a small amount of minutes to be completed. Note that your ally always comes back with something odd about it, physically and mentally, and you should know better than to try and bring him back more than a couple of times.

 

Level	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10
Attack	+6	+7	+9	+10	+11	+13	+14	+15	+17	+18
Hit	1d6	1d8	2d6	2d8	3d6	3d8	3d10	4d8	4d10	7d6
AC	16	17	18	20	21	22	24	25	26	27
PD	14	15	16	18	19	21	22	23	24	25
MD	10	11	12	14	15	16	18	19	20	21
HP	14	18	22	27	36	45	54	72	90	108

 

Adventurer feat	You may cast one spell per battle using your ally hit points instead of yours, while in Sangromancy.
Adventurer feat	Your ally attacks add the escalation die.
Adventurer feat	Enemies engaged with your ally suffers a penalty on disengage checks equal to the escalation die.
Champion feat	Raise your ally damage dice by one step (from d6 to d8, per instance).
Champion feat	Your ally receives additional hit points equal to double your constitution modifier (triple at level 8).
Champion feat	Whenever an enemy tries to disengage from your ally, they take damage equal to your level.
Epic feat	Your ally critical strikes give you 1 Blood Point.
Epic feat	Your ally receives +2 in all defenses.
Epic feat	Raise your ally damage dice by one step (from d8 to d10, per instance.This is cumulative with the Champion feat).

Hematophagy

You receive 1 Blood Point every time a nearby enemy becomes staggered.

Adventurer feat	You receive a background with +5 bonus involving your blood senses. You can also control inferior life forms, such as rats or bats.
Champion feat	The first recovery you spend after a battle heals you additional hit points equal to 1 per level per number of blood corpses on the floor.
Epic feat	You receive resist 12+ against weapons (and natural weapons). Elemental attacks, magic weapons and silver weapons ignore this resistance.

 

Hasty                                                    

Increases all your ongoing damages by one step (from d6 to d8, for instance), but all of your ongoing damage becomes direct damage.

Adventurer feat	You receive a bônus to disengage checks equal to the escalation die.
Champion feat	You may sacrifice a recovery as a free action, once per turn, to receive 1 Blood Point per level.
Epic feat	Every time you cast a spell without improvements, you get +1 to the attack roll.

Blood of the Dead

The blood of the dead is easier to control. You receive +2 to attacks against undead, and undeads you destroy explodes, causing damage equal to your level plus your constitution modifier on every enemy nearby.

Adventurer feat	Everytime you destroy an undead, you receive 1d4 Blood Points.
Champion feat	Your attack bônus against undead becomes +4.
Epic feat	You may cast a ritual that removes all the blood from your body, but still allows you to keep living. You become immune to blood magic, and cannot suffer damage from your own spells, when applicable. You receive +1 on all of your defenses. You also become unable to pay hit points for your spells while in Sangromancy, and your default option becomes using the hit points from willing allies, even if you don’t have the champion feat to do it.

Surgical procedures

                Your precision with dagger is such that enemies engaged to you are vulnerable to your dagger attacks. Furthermore, you receive a background with +2 involving your knowledge on bodies.

Adventurer feat	You receive 1 Blood Point every time you cause a critical hit with your dagger.
Champion feat	You receive 1 Blood Point every time you hit with your dagger (thus, 2 Blood Points if it’s a critical hit, because of the adventurer feat).
Epic feat	Your perfurations are so well placed that all your dagger damage becomes ongoing damage (normal save ends) (and for what it’s worth, this means that the talent Hasty makes your dagger damage become d8 instead of ongoing damage).

Blood Fury

Whenever the escalation die becomes 5+, you may enter a blood fury as a quick action. While in this state you barely think and your extints guide you. You roll 2d20 for your blood mages spells taking the best result, but must pay 2 Blood Points at the end of each of your rounds. For each Blood Point you’re unable to pay by the end of your round, you take 1 damage per level. You can end the Blood Fury using a quick action, but you will need to pay the end of turn cost for that turn no matter what. The fury also ends if you fail one death save or last gasp save.

Adventurer feat	If you miss with a blood mage spell during the Blood Fury, you don’t need to pay the end of turn cost but won't be able to cause miss effects and miss damage.
Champion feat	You may enter the Blood Fury state whenever the escalation die becomes 4+.
Epic feat	Now it's 3+.
