The Blood Matron

The Blood Matron is cunning, patient, and manipulative. She sees her warlocks as valuable tools, pieces on a chessboard to be moved according to her grand designs. She rewards loyalty and punishes failure with a cold, calculated precision.

Her primary goal is to spread her influence across the world. She seeks to create a network of agents who will help her subtly manipulate events in her favor, ensuring that her power grows while remaining hidden from those who would oppose her.

Blood Matron's Gift

At level 1, you gain the Eyes of the Night feature, granting you darkvision out to a range of 120 ft and the ability to see through magical darkness.

You also gain proficiency in the Deception skill, reflecting the Blood Matron's influence on your ability to deceive and manipulate others.

Crimson Feast

At level 6, when you reduce a creature to 0 hit points with a spell or weapon attack, you can drain its life force, gaining temporary hit points equal to your warlock level + your Charisma modifier. Additionally, your attacks deal an extra 1d6 necrotic damage while you have temporary hit points from this feature. This ability reflects the Blood Matron’s gift of sustaining her warlocks through the life force of others, echoing her vampiric nature.

Matron's Favor

At level 10, you gain Shadow Step and can cast Invisibility once per long rest without expending a spell slot.

Shadow Step:
You can teleport up to 30ft to an unoccupied space you can see within dim light or darkness. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of once) per long rest.

Sanguine Dominion

At level 14, as an action, you can invoke the Blood Matron's power to command all creatures within 30ft of you that can see or hear you. Each creature must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw (against your spell save DC) or be charmed by you for 1 minute. While charmed in this way, they are under your control and will follow your commands. This effect ends early if they take damage. You can use this feature once per long rest.
