Blood Puppeteer

Starring at 3rd Level you have learned to take the magic you grant your allies and have them dance to your whim.  As a reaction to a creature using one of your bardic inspiration dice, you can have that creature move up to half of its movement and make a single weapon attack against a creature of your choice.

Dance of the Dead

Starting at 6th Level, you have found more uses for blood than casting magic.  When a creature is reduced to 0 hit points within 15 feet of you, you may use your reaction to siphon blood from the creature gaining the use of 1 blood die.

blood die are represented as a d6, you may have a maximum number of blood dice equal to your charisma modifier.  As a Bonus action you may expend a number of blood dice less than or equal to your proficiency bonus to regain hit points equal to 1d6 per blood dice plus your charisma modifier (1d6 + Cha modifier).   

Blood dice may also function identical to Bardic Inspiration, however once a blood dice is used in this way, you take damage equal to twice the number rolled on the blood inspiration die.

Your blood dice count resets to 0 at the completion of a long rest.
