You are willing to spend your very lifeforce to gain an advantage in a fight.
Mortality Gambit
When you declare a melee attack, but before the attack roll is made, you can choose to sacrifice a portion of your vital energy. You may burn a number of hit points up to your character level. You gain +1 damage for every hit point sacrificed. For every 5 hit points sacrificed this way, you gain a +1 bonus to the attack roll. For every 10 hit points sacrificed increase your critical range for the attack by 1. You may burn hp in this manner any time you would make a melee attack.
Vital Siphon
When you would hit with Mortality Gambit you may choose to siphon the vital energy that seeps from the wounds you inflicted. If you sacrificed at least 5 hit points for the attack, you can immediately expend one Hit Die to heal yourself. Roll the Hit Die and add your Constitution modifier, you may re-roll this hit-dice once per 10 hit points expended using Mortality Gambit; you regain hit points equal to the total.
Enduring Vitality
When you score a critical hit with Mortality Gambit and trigger Vitality Siphon you may make a Constitution check with a DC of 10 or half the damage dealt, whichever is higher. If you are successful you do not expend the hit dice used for Vital Siphon. You gain a bonus on this Constitution check equal to the bonus to attack from Mortality Gambit.
