Blood Hunter Order: Bloodrusher

### Order of the Bloodrusher 
 There's power in blood, ask the sorcerer who gains power through their lineage, the blood mages who manipulate it directly, or even the vampires of the world who require it to fuel their very existence. A Bloodrusher is someone innately capable of harnessing the power contained within different creatures blood.

Those in the order can imbibe blood, and in doing so gain powers dependent on the blood or mixture of blood. These powers range from mental acuity to full physical transformations. People in this order often involve rituals in letting the blood from a creature, but they honor one rule, never rush on blood from a humanoid, as doing so will eat away at your very soul.
 
 #### Bloodletting
 Starting when you choose this order at level 3, you are able to collect blood from creatures quickly and with great precision. You can take 5 minutes to collect blood from a dead creatures body, gaining you 3 vials of pure blood from the creature. Additionally, if no corpses are available, at the DM's discretion you may spend 15 minutes hunting some and collecting blood from creatures.
 #### Bloodrushing
At 3rd level you can begin rushing on blood, at this level you are strong enough to rush on the blood of normal beasts. You may take an action a drink a vial of blood and gain one of the effects listed under beast blood effects.

You may only be under one such effect at a time, and entering the effect of another vial will end the one you are currently under. You may only rush as many times as your Constitution modifier + half your Blood Hunter level rounded up(minimum of 1).

#### Monstrous Bloodrushing
At 7th level you can stomach more potent types of blood, by mixing the blood of different beasts, or by bleeding the corpse of a monstrosity directly you may make a vial of monstrous blood. This blood can be used to gain an effect listed under the monstrosity blood effects. After you use one of the effects, you must finish a short rest before using one again. At 12th level you may do it twice before a short rest, and at 17th level the number is increased to 3.

Monstrous bloods are volatile, while under their effect you lose maximum health as if activating your crimson rite.  Additionally, you may be under the effect of two beat blood effects, but once you do so you must finish a long rest before you can do so again.
