Nature's Blood

These rangers were once on the brink of death, their blood spilled onto the ground beneath them. But instead of bleeding out, their blood seeped back into them, their blood mixed with the essence of the soil around them, giving them control of their own blood and more. 

Level 3: Iron Blood

You enhanced your blood to strengthen yourself. You can spend one hit point die as a bonus action. Doing so grants you one of few options for the next 8 hours. 

• Legs. You add your CON mod to your acrobatics and athletics. You add 10 feet to your movement. 

• Eyes. You add your CON mod to your perception. You gain advantage on perception checks that rely on sight. You also gain darkvision of 30 feet or add to your darkvision if you already have any.

• Arms. Your unarmed strikes are a 1d6 bludgeoning. And you add your CON mod to the attack of your unarmed strikes and  CON mod to your melee weapon attacks and unarmed strikes. The damage is the same as the weapon. 

 

When you roll your hit point die, you gain temp HP equal to half of the total rolled. You can take the max roll if in your favored terrain. 

When you cast Hunter’s Mark against an enemy that isn’t a construct, ooze, undead, or doesn’t have blood you can do Iron Blood, but take damage with the temp HP still added.

Level 7: Hemomancy

You are able to control the blood in others as well as detect blood in others. You gain proficiency in medicine checks and animal handling. Any creature that has blood when you do these checks on, you can add your CON mod to the roll. 

As a bonus feature when targeting a creature with blood (and isn't a construct, ooze, or undead) you can forcibly spend one hit point die of a creature you see in a range of 30 feet to roll and heal or damage them, your choice. If you are within 5 ft of them and touch them, you can make them spend two hit point die instead. The range increases to 60 at level 11 and 90 at level 15.

Blood Curdle. When rolling for damage against an enemy, they can roll a CON save against your spell save DC, if they fail they take the full damage and have their HP total reduced, and on a success the creature takes half and doesn't have their HP total reduced. Targeting a creature that failed the save, gives them advantage on the save until the next 10 minutes. (A familiar of yours can do this trait, but the familiar has to have blood.) 

You can do this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus per long rest.
