THIS WAS MADE BY AMARONITH ON AO3
When someone of Orcish descent Marks a humanoid with the intent to Claim them as a Mate, each target gains the following: a +2 bonus to AC while they are within 30 feet of the one who Marked them (with multiple Mates, the AC bonuses do not stack - characters will only get +2); Advantage on saving throws against being Charmed, and can immediately remake the save if ordered to harm a Mate after a failed save; Advantage to Insight checks (and a +3 to Passive Insight) against one's Mate(s) as a result of the empathetic connection through the Bond; must make a DC 15 Wisdom Save when a Mate is brought to 0hp in battle/make a DC 20 Wisdom Save if a Mate is killed, or rolls 1d4 and suffers from one of the following effects for 1 minute (the save can be made again at the start of your turn every round):
1 - Character is Stunned
2 - Character can only make Physical Attacks and can only target the creature that brought down their Mate
3 - Character is Frightened of what felled their Mate and must use their action and movement each round to flee from the source of the fear.
4 - Character is Unconscious
The effects of the Bond last until either severed by both parties (Ritual time of 1 hour), or Death, with the Bond being permanently lost if either Mate is dead for more than 10 days. If revived after 10 days, the Bonding Bite must be made again. If the Mate who made the Mark(s) dies, all targets who they have Marked will lose all bonuses gained through the Bond.
Bonding Bite can be used on as many targets as desired, with no DC on a willing target, and a DC of 25 on an unwilling one.
A Note On The Empathetic Connection: this can be felt even across Planes - the only thing to sever this connection is Death.
