## Roguish Archetype
Rogues gain access to the Roguish Archetype feature at 3rd level. Here is a new option for this feature, in addition to the ones presented in the Player's Handbook.

### Cruor Fiend
Dark circles attract dark arts, and some rogues heed the call of the reviled magics others dare not touch. The archetypal Cruor Fiend harnesses hemomantic magic to enhance their roguish abilities, altering their bodies and controlling the blood of their enemies. Some Cruor Fiends may revere hemomancy as an art, and some may see it as a curse to be kept out of the hands of others.

#### Blood For Power
Starting when you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you've uncovered vile hemomantic magic, which you use your own blood to fuel.

***Blood Dice.*** You have two blood dice, which are d6s and are used to fuel certain features from this archetype. You regain any expended blood dice when you finish a short or long rest. You gain one extra blood die at 9th, 13th, and 17th level.

You can use a bonus action on your turn to spend up to four hit dice and regain the same number of blood dice. You must finish a long rest before you can do so again.

***Saving Throws.*** Some of the features granted by this archetype may require a creature to make a saving throw. The save DC is calculated as follows:

<font face='scalysans' size='2'>
 
 <center> 
 
 **Blood Save DC** </font> = <font face='scalysans' size='2'> 8 + your proficiency bonus + 
 
 </center>
 
 <div style='margin-top:-8px'></div>
 
 <center> your Constitution modifier </center>
 </font>

#### Sanguine Arts
At 3rd level, you know the following hemomantic abilities.

***Bloodied Blade.*** When you take the Attack action, you can spend a blood die to create a dagger of your own blood, which disappears at the end of the turn. You can Sneak Attack with this dagger even if you don't have advantage, so long as you don't have disadvantage. After you hit a living creature with this dagger, you regain hit points equal to your rogue level, and any leftover hit points become temporary hit points if you are restored to your hit point maximum.

***Ichorous Magic.*** You can spend a blood die to cast one of the following spells, using Constitution as your spellcasting ability: *blindness/deafness*, *blood bind,<sup>VT</sup>* *eldritch mending,<sup>VT</sup>* and *ray of enfeeblement*.

#### Reconstruct Self
Starting at 9th level, you've learned to reknit your flesh and bone to change your visage. You can spend two blood dice to cast *alter self*. When cast using this feature, the spell lasts for as long as you maintain concentration on it, and any natural weapons created by it have the finesse property.

#### Detonate Corpse
At 13th level, you can use a bonus action to spend three blood dice to cause the blood inside a corpse within 60 feet of you to boil and burst. Each creature within 15 feet of the corpse must make a Dexterity saving throw, taking fire damage equal to a roll of half your Sneak Attack damage dice, or half as much on a successful save.

#### Make Them Beautiful
When you reach 17th level, you learn to control a creature's blood to deadly effect. As an action, you can spend four blood dice to force a creature you can see within 30 feet to make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, it is restrained for 1 minute. It can repeat the save at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success. Each time the creature fails a saving throw against this feature, its current hit points are reduced by an amount equal to a roll of half your Sneak Attack damage dice as you expel a portion of its blood from its body. If this damage reduces the creature to 25 hit points or fewer, it dies instantly. This feature has no effect on creatures without blood.
