Order of Branching Blood

While most Blood Hunter's sacrifice their own vitality to empower their weapons, the Branching Blood actually forms their weapons from themselves.  These Blood Hunter's create unique weapons from their own blood to allow them to further empower them.

 

Blood Weapon

When you join this order at 3rd level, you learn how to create weapons from your blood.  When activating your crimson rite, you can manifest any weapon you are proficient in that lacks the ranged property.  This weapon has a +1 to attack and damage rolls and counts as magical for the purposes of resistances.  In addition, the bonus increases to +2 at 9th level, and +3 at 15th level.

Advanced Blood Weapon

At 7th level, you gain options to improve your Blood Weapons.  When you lose hold of your Blood Weapon your crimson rite lingers for up to a minute, and you can manifest a new weapon at any point and continue your crimson rite.  Also, while you have a Blood Weapon active, you can choose to add one of the following properties to a single blood weapon:

• Light(Cannot be Heavy or Two Handed)
• Two Handed, increasing the damage dice in size by one.
• One Handed(Cannot be Heavy)
• Thrown(30/90)
• Finesse
• Reach(extra 5 feet)
• Ignore Heavy

Extract Weapon

At 11th level, you can take a bonus action and spend one of your uses of Blood Maledict to attempt to extract a Blood Weapon from another target within 30 feet.  You take damage from a roll of your crimson rite die, and then force the target to make a Constitution saving throw.  The DC is equal to your Wisdom modifier + your proficiency bonus + 8.  On a failure, the target takes damage equal to your level, and you gain a Blood Weapon with an active crimson rite of your choice.  You can pick from your normal crimson rites, or have the rite damage be of a type that the creature is vulnerable to.

Superior Blood Weapon

At 15th level, you further improve your Blood Weapons.  When you manifest a Blood Weapon you can choose two properties rather then one from the Improved Blood Weapon list, or manifest two blood weapons each with an improvement.

Bloody Armory

Upon reaching 18th level, you learn to extract weapons from even dead enemies.  You can extract a weapon without spending a blood curse from a body that has died in the last hour and has an open wound as a bonus action by touching it.  These weapons have all the normal advantages of a Blood Weapon except for an active crimson rite, and if they leave your grip for more then 30 seconds they turn to blood that is considered non-viable for this purpose.
