Order of the Crimson Blade

Founded by members especially keen in sacrificing their bodies essence to gain power, the Order of the Crimson Blade perfect the act of loosing strengh in order to gain it, always holding the balance between the two. Due to their many risky endeavors harming themselfs, most other Orders see them as masochistic maniacs, that go to far in loosing blood to exploit every last bit of power inside themselfs. Even if that is partially true, the Order continues its work, always of the opinion, that they will unlock greater powers in hemocraft than anyone has ever seen.

Crimson Blade

Your recurring contact with self-harm in order to strenghten yourself has led to the ability to do so on ocassions, where others can not.

You can can amplify your crimson rites, as you would your blood curses. You can do so by, upon activating a rite choosing to take half the damage you took to activate the rite (rounded up) as additional damage. If a crimson rite has been amplified, the weapon on which the rite was applied deals additional damage equal to two times your hemocraft die, rather than one.

The Taste of Blood

When choosing this Order at 3rd level, you unlock the ability to sustain a blood pool, containing energy to fuel your hemocraft. On your turn (no action required) you can use one of your hit die and add the number rolled to the value of your blood pool. Once per turn, whenever you would take damage to use a hemocraft ability, you can instead substract the according number of points from your blood pool. At the end of combat your blood pool is emptied.
