Order of Branching Blood

While most Blood Hunter's sacrifice their own vitality to empower their weapons, the Branching Blood actually forms their weapons from themselves.  These Blood Hunter's create unique weapons from their own blood to allow them to further empower them.

 

Blood Weapon

When you join this order at 3rd level, you learn how to create weapons from your blood.  When activating your crimson rite, you can manifest any weapon you are proficient in that lacks the ranged or thrown property.  This weapon has a +1 to attack and damage rolls and counts as magical for the purposes of resistances.  In addition, the bonus increases to +2 at 9th level, and +3 at 15th level.

 

Advanced Blood Weapon

At 7th level, you gain options to improve your Blood Weapons.  When you lose hold of your Blood Weapon your crimson rite lingers for up to a minute, and you can manifest a new weapon at any point and continue your crimson rite.  Also, while you have a Blood Weapon active, you can choose to add one of the following properties to a single blood weapon:

• Light(Cannot be Heavy or Two Handed)
• Two Handed, increasing the damage dice in size by one.
• One Handed(Cannot be Heavy)
• Thrown(30/90)
• Finesse
• Reach(extra 5 feet)
• Ignore Heavy

Extract Weapon

At 11th level, you can take a bonus action and spend one of your uses of Blood Maledict to attempt to extract a Blood Weapon from another target within 30 feet.  You force the target to make a Constitution saving throw, the DC is equal to 8 + your proficiency bonus + your intelligence modifier.  On a failure, the target takes necrotic damage equal to the maximum roll of your hemocraft die, and you gain a Blood Weapon with an active crimson rite of your choice.  You can pick from your normal crimson rites, or have the rite damage be of a type that the creature is vulnerable to.

 

Superior Blood Weapon

At 15th level, you further improve your Blood Weapons.  When you manifest a Blood Weapon you can choose two properties rather than one from the Improved Blood Weapon list, or manifest two blood weapons each with an improvement.
