Order of the Dark Draught

The original purpose of this strain of Hunter's Bane was to help abate the affliction of those cursed with vampirism. Many of these victims chose to combat the scourge that had cursed them as well as those of their ilk, and the Order of the Dark Draught was formed. Soon other blood hunters who were not cursed began to drink the specialized concoction, willing to gain a mild form of the vampiric disease for the cause. Given the Order's history, many of these blood hunters specialize solely with the fight against vampires, looking to prevent others from going through the pain they suffered. But others of the Order see the similar oppression and violation of vampires in the many forms of evil infiltrating the land all of which must be stopped.

Blood-Soaked Strikes

When you join this order at 3rd level, you learn the Rite of Dead crimson rite. While active, you gain the following benefits:

• You have resistance to necrotic damage

• You can see normally in dim-light and non-magical darkness out to 120 feet.

Cloak of Shadows

At 3rd level, you have learned how to access some of the transformative powers afforded to you by the Dark Draught. As a reaction when you take damage, you can cause your body to dissolve into biting darkness. Every creature of your choice within 10 feet of you must make a Dexterity saving throw. A target takes necrotic or piercing damage (your choice) equal to three rolls of your hemocraft die plus your hemocraft modifier on a failed save, or half as much on a success. You can then immediately teleport up to half your movement speed to an unoccupied space that you can see. You can use this reaction a number of times equal to your hemocraft modifier, replenishing all expended uses at the end of a long rest.

Cruor-fed Body

At 3rd level, you gain the following traits, a result of the darkness rising within you.

• Scent of Blood. You can smell any creature within 60 feet of you that is below its maximum hit points. This does not apply to creatures that do not have blood their body, and as such you can instantly identify such creatures by their distinct lack of the smell of blood.
• Sanguine Dependency. You no longer require food, water, or air. You do, however, require blood to sustain yourself. You must drink the blood of a living humanoid every day. Each day you do not, you gain a level of exhaustion which cannot be reduced by finishing a long rest or by magical means. You can only reduce this exhaustion by drinking blood, reducing one level of exhaustion each time you drink.
• Vampiric Curse. Whenever you amplify a Blood Curse, you do not lose hit points if you roll a 1 or 2 on your hemocraft die.
• Honeyed Words. You gain proficiency with the Persuasion and Deception skills. If you already have proficiency with these skills, you instead add double your proficiency bonus to checks made with them.

Darkened Nature

• Prolonged Life. Your lifeforce is extended and your body regenerates more easily. If you start a turn with less than half of your maximum hit points, you regain hit points equal to a roll of your hemocraft die. This does not heal you beyond half your hit point maximum. Additionally, For every 10 years that pass, your body ages only 1 year. In addition to that, you are immune to disease.
• Silver Tongue. Your words are naturally graced with seductive magic. Whenever you make a Persuasion or Deception check, you treat any roll of 9 or lower on the d20 as a 10.

Brand of Stolen Vitality

At 11th level, your Brand of Castigation can draw the strength of your opponent into yourself. Whenever you hit a branded creature with a weapon empowered by your Crimson Rite, you regain hit points equal to the damage dealt by your Crimson Rite.
