Aura of Blood

The paladin and any friendly creatures within 10 ft, gain a +1 bonus to attack rolls.

At 18th level, the range of this aura increases to 30 feet.

Blood Hunt

15th-level Oath of Bloodlust feature

Your bloodlust grows so powerful that you can spread it to others and gain resilience from them joining your hunt.

As an action you can choose a number of other willing creatures you can see within 30 ft of you equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of one creature). You gain 2 temporary hit points for each creature that accepts this feature. The frenzy lasts 1 minute. For the duration, targets of your chosen allies' attacks suffer the effects of the Marked for Blood spell upon a successful hit. The bonus damage is applied to the initial strike.

Marked for Blood does not require concentration when it is applied by an ally in this manner.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier (a minimum of once). You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Lord of Crimson

20th-level Oath of Bloodlust feature

The paladin can, as an action, surround themself with a 30-ft radius crimson aura that lasts for 1 minute. Whenever a creature that is affected by Marked for Blood starts its turn in the aura, it takes 4d10 necrotic damage. Additionally, creatures affected by Blood Hunt deal an additional 2d10 necrotic damage.

Creatures that are Marked for Blood are no longer resistant to necrotic damage while they remain inside the aura radius.

While under the effect of Lord of Crimson, you can hold 1 additional Blood Charge. If you are holding 4 charges when this effect falls off, the 4th charge is lost.

After activating the aura, the paladin can’t do so again until they finish a long rest.
