The Blood Sacrament Domain

The world is but brothers, sisters and siblings. All in possession of the miracle of blood and therefore life. Clerics that follow in the pitch black tailfeathers of the Raven Mother can share her wondrously red miracle, forcing foes to harm themselves or to close the wounds of an ally instantly. A blood cleric is intimately aware of the constant push and pull happening inside creatures, instinctually feeling the throb of hearts and veins in others.

Blood Sacrament

1st Level. I thank thee, Mother, for this chance to purify a bleeding soul.

As a bonus action, rip and tear from afar at the nearest wounded creature forcing them to make a Constitution saving throw against your Spell Save DC.

Failure, the target takes 1d4 + (Wisdom Modifier) slashing damage as their wounds burst open.

On a success they resist Blood Sacrament entirely.

The range is a radius of 30 ft but must be used on the nearest creature under max HP.

Blood Sacrament has 1 + (Wisdom Modifier) uses per Long Rest.

 

Channel Divinity: Blood Vessel

2nd Level. O mother, must the strings be as ghoulish as this?

Use your Channel Divinity to crudely control a creatures body against their will.

As an Action, target a Medium or smaller creature that has blood and is within 30 ft. The creature must succeed a Constitution saving throw.

Success, the creature is afflicted with the Blood Sacrament if it's injured.

Failure, they can immediately be moved 20 ft along the ground in any direction.

If the Blood Vessel is slammed against an object or creature, the Blood Vessel and target will take 1d4 bludgeoning damage.

If the targeted creature is dead or unconscious their body is automatically puppeteered.

On the Blood Vessel's turn they can only repeat the saving throw.

Blood Vessel will cease at the start of your next turn or if the target takes any damage, unless another Channel Divinity is expended.

 

Channel Divinity: Twisted Idol

6th Level. Thy Mothers body, cracked and split. Who would do such a thing?

Use Channel Divinity as an Action and manipulate or mutilate your current Blood Vessel. Using Twisted Idol, choose one of the following abilities.

Twisted Figure

Your Blood Vessel immediately takes 2d6 slashing and 2d6 bludgeoning, as their limbs are twisted and crushed.

Toy Idol

Puppeteer your Blood Vessel more gracefully, able to move them up to 30 ft and executing any one of their Actions.

The Blood Vessel effect is released after Twisted Idol.

 

Red Scale Resonance

8th Level. Hearts in hiding thump. Even still, I taste blood.

As an Action connect a magical red thread to the last Blood Vessel afflicted creature that is within 120ft.

If the creature is fully encased in any magical barrier that prevents physical objects from reaching them, then this ability will not work.

As the thread is connected, both you and the target will have disadvantage on all Constitution and Wisdom saving throws.

You can snip the thread as a bonus action, losing the tether between yourself and the target. Doing so will force a Spell DC Constitution saving throw on the target, without disadvantage.

Failure, they take 5d8 slashing damage.

A success, they are unaffected from the cut thread and instead you are forced to make a Wisdom saving throw. 

Failure, you take 5d4 slashing damage. On a Success you are unaffected.

You are unaware if the target failed or succeeded their save unless you can see/hear them.

Red Scale Resonance lasts up to 10 minutes, unless snipped, and can only be used once per Short Rest.

 

Blood Sacrament Perfected

17th Level. O Mother. My Mother. Why do you go unheard? Thy servant has perfected your love.

Blood Sacrament

Blood Sacrament uses are now doubled, does more damage and can be recovered during a Short Rest.

Fail. The target takes 5d10 Slashing damage.

Success. The target takes 5d4 Slashing damage.

Blood Sacrament Perfected

As an Action touch any creature with blood in them. Expend 2 Blood Sacrament uses to heal the creature you touch for 5d10 (+ Wisdom Modifier).

If Blood Sacrament Perfected exceeds Max HP, the rest is gained as Temporary HP.
