Bloodrager - Pathfinder to 5e Conversion - v.1

# Bloodrager

While many ferocious combatants can tap into a deep reservoir of buried rage, bloodragers have an intrinsic power that seethes within. Like sorcerers, bloodragers’ veins surge with arcane power. While sorcerers use this power for spellcasting, bloodragers enter an altered state in which their bloodline becomes manifest, where the echoes of their strange ancestry lash out with devastating power. In these states, bloodragers can cast some arcane spells instinctively, and their magic is as fast, violent, and seemingly unstoppable as their physical prowess. The bloodrager’s place is on the front lines, right in their enemies’ faces, supplying tremendous martial force bolstered by a trace of arcane magic.

### Bloodcasting
The power infusing your blood allows you to cast and even concentrate on spells while in a seemingly mindless rage. However, you can cast and concentrate on only your bloodrager spells; spells gained from other classes cannot be cast while you are in this state.

#### Spellcasting Ability
Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your bloodrager spells. You use your Charisma whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Charisma modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a bloodrager spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

 </font>

#### Spellcasting Focus
You can use an arcane focus as a spellcasting focus for your bloodrager spells.

#### Cantrips
At 1st level, you know one cantrip of your choice from the bloodrager spell list and one more determined by your bloodline. You learn an additional cantrip of your choice when you reach 9th level.

#### Spell Slots
The Bloodrager table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your sorcerer spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend a slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.

#### Spells Known of 1st Level and Higher
At 3rd level, you learn 3 spells of your choice, which must be from the bloodrager spell list or the additional spells offered by your bloodline. 
The Spells Known column of the Bloodrager table shows when you learn more bloodrager spells of 1st level or higher. Each of these spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the bloodrager spells you know and replace it with another spell from the bloodrager and bloodline spell lists, which also must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

### Bloodrage
The bloodrager’s source of internal power grants you the ability to go into a bloodrage. On your turn, you can enter a rage as a bonus action.

While raging, you gain the following benefits if you aren't wearing heavy armor:
* You have advantage on Strength checks and Strength saving throws.
* When you make a melee weapon attack using Strength, you gain a +2 bonus to the damage roll. This bonus increases as you level.
* You have resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage.

Your bloodrage lasts for 1 minute. It ends early if you are knocked unconscious or if your turn ends and you haven't attacked a hostile creature since your last turn or taken damage since then. You may also choose to end your rage on your turn as a bonus action.

Upon leaving the bloodrage, you gain one level of exhaustion for a number of rounds equal to the number of rounds you spent raging. You may not reenter a bloodrage again while you are exhausted from raging (exhaustion from other sources does not affect your ability to rage) unless a specific ability excepts this restriction.

Once you have entered a rage the maximum number of times for your bloodrager level, shown on the Bloodrager table, you must finish a long rest before you can rage again.

### Bloodline
Choose from the Draconic, Shadow, or Verdant bloodlines, all detailed at the end of the class description. Your choice grants you features when you choose it at 1st level and again at 6th, 10th, and 14th level.

### Danger Sense
At 2nd level, you gain an uncanny sense of when things nearby aren't as they should be, giving you an edge when you dodge away from danger. You have advantage on Dexterity saving throws against effects that you can see, such as traps and spells. To gain this benefit, you can't be blinded, deafened, or incapacitated.

### Ability Score Improvement
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

If your DM allows the use of feats, you may instead take a feat.

### Extra Attack
Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.

### Fast Movement
Starting at 5th level, your speed increases by 10 feet while you aren't wearing heavy armor.

### Feral Instinct
By 7th level, your instincts are so honed that you have advantage on initiative rolls.

Additionally, if you are surprised at the beginning of combat and aren't incapacitated, you can act normally on your first turn, but only if you enter your rage before doing anything else on that turn.

\pagebreak

### Blood Sanctuary
When you reach 9th level, while raging you have advantage on saving throws against spell effects and advantage on Constitution saving throws that you make to maintain your concentration on a spell when you take damage.

### Tireless Bloodrage
By 11th level, you have become more accustomed to channeling the power of your bloodline and experience less fatigue after using it. When you leave the bloodrage, the exhaustion gained now only lasts for a duration of half the rounds spent raging, rounded down (minimum of 1)

### Bloody Critical
Beginning at 13th level, you can roll one additional damage die when determining the extra damage for a critical hit with a melee attack or a spell that requires an attack roll. This increases to 2 additional dice at level 17.

### Persistent Bloodrage
Beginning at 15th level, your bloodrage ends early only if you fall unconscious or if you choose to end it.

### Indomitable Might
Beginning at 18th level, if your total for a Strength check is less than your Strength score, you can use that score in place of the total.

### Sanguine Paragon
At 20th level, your bloodline has permanently infused you with its power. Your Strength, Constitution, and Charisma scores increase by 2. Your maximum for those scores is now 22.

## Bloodrager Bloodlines
Each bloodrager has a source of magic somewhere in their background that empowers their bloodrages and gives them access to bonus features and spells. Sometimes this source reflects a distant blood relationship to a powerful being, or is due to an extreme event involving such a creature somewhere in their family’s past.

### Draconic Bloodline
Your innate magic comes from draconic magic that was mingled with your blood or that of your ancestors. Some bloodragers with this origin trace their descent back to a mighty sorcerer of ancient times who made a bargain with a dragon or who might even have claimed a dragon parent. However, others gain their abilities as a result of exposure to draconic magic or a personal bargain with one of the mighty creatures.

Additionally, you can speak, read, and write Draconic in addition to the languages you know from your race and/or background.

#### Draconic Resilience
At 1st level, your hit point maximum increases by 1 and increases by 1 again whenever you gain a level in this class.

Additionally, parts of your skin are covered by a thin sheen of dragon-like scales. When you aren't wearing armor, your AC equals 13 + your Dexterity modifier.

#### Bloodline Spells
Starting at 3rd level when your spellcasting ability manifests in full, your ancestry gives you access to more spells. 
| Class Level   | Bloodline Spells |
|:-:|:--------|
|  3rd  | *chromatic orb, guiding bolt* |
|  6th  | *alter self, dragon's breath* |
|  13th  | *elemental weapon, Melf's minute meteors* |
|  19th  | *elemental bane, fire shield* |

#### Elemental Affinity
Starting at 6th level, you become resistant to the damage type associated with your draconic ancestry. Also, when you cast a spell that deals damage of that type you can add your Charisma modifier to one damage roll of that spell.
#### Power of the Elements
At 10th level, whenever you roll damage of the type associated with your ancestry you can treat any 1 on a damage die as a 2, and also ignore enemies' resistance to that damage type. 
#### Dragon Wings
At 14th level, you gain the ability to sprout a pair of dragon wings from your back, gaining a flying speed equal to your current speed. You can create these wings as a bonus action on your turn. They last until your bloodrage ends or when you dismiss them as a bonus action on your turn.

\pagebreak

### Shadow Bloodline
Your blood runs thick with an inky taint, and your innate magic comes from someplace darker. You might trace your lineage to a shadowy entity such as a powerful lich, a demon, or another being from the lower planes, or perhaps you were transformed by dealing with dark powers yourself.

#### Strike Through Shadow
At 1st level, you learn the Eldritch Blast cantrip. When you are bloodraging and in dim light or darkness, you can add your Charisma modifier to the damage dealt by this cantrip.

#### Touched by Darkness
Starting at 1st level, you have darkvision with a range of 60 feet. If you already have darkvision from your race, its range increases by 30 feet. Additionally, you can speak, read, and write Abyssal in addition to the languages you know from your race and/or background.

#### Bloodline Spells
Starting at 3rd level when your spellcasting ability manifests in full, your ancestry gives you access to more spells. 
| Class Level   | Bloodline Spells |
|:-:|:--------|
|  3rd  | *hex, inflict wounds* |
|  6th  | *pass without trace, shadow blade* |
|  13th  | *hunger of Hadar, vampiric touch* |
|  19th  | *shadow of moil, Evard's black tentacles* |

#### Shades of Rage
By 6th level, You have advantage on death saving throws. Additionally, when you succeed on three death saving throws and stabilize, you can expend two uses of your bloodrage to begin raging and regain consciousness with one hit point. Entering a bloodrage with this ability is allowed even if you have exhaustion remaining from a previous rage ending.

#### Shadow Veil
At 10th level, you gain resistance to necrotic damage, and you become able to see through both magical and nonmagical darkness up to the range of your darkvision. In addition, while you are in a bloodrage, any ally within 30 feet of you has advantage on death saving throws.

#### Cloaked Step
At 14th level, you gain the ability to step from one shadow into another. When you are in dim light or darkness, as a bonus action, you can magically teleport up to 120 feet to an unoccupied space you can see that is also in dim light or darkness.

\columnbreak

### Verdant Bloodline
Your magic embodies the chaotic energy of wild nature, manifesting itself in colorful ways when you enter a bloodrage. One of your ancestors may have been fey, or the fey realm somehow intermixed with your bloodline, or an interaction with a powerful elemental or primal spirit suffused your being with this vibrant power.

#### Verdant Strike
You learn the Shillelagh cantrip, and while you are in a bloodrage you can add your Charisma modifier to the damage dealt with weapons it is cast on. Additionally, you can speak, read, and write Sylvan in addition to the languages you know from your race and/or background.

#### Verdant Growth
Your affinity with nature allows you to draw upon its strength to heal yourself while in the thick of battle. Once per rage, you can use your bonus action to roll hit dice up to a number equal to your proficiency modifier, provided you have them to spend. 
#### Bloodline Spells
Starting at 3rd level when your spellcasting ability manifests in full, your ancestry gives you access to more spells. 
| Class Level   | Bloodline Spells |
|:-:|:--------|
|  3rd  | *ensnaring strike, faerie fire* |
|  6th  | *barkskin, spike growth* |
|  13th  | *erupting earth, speak with plants* |
|  19th  | *grasping vine, guardian of nature* |

#### Oaken Skin
At 6th level, when you enter a bloodrage, your skin thickens like bark and you gain +1 AC.

#### Botanical Plasticity
Starting at 10th level, you can manipulate the plantlike features that emerge during your bloodrage to elongate your limbs. While in a bloodrage, the reach of your melee attacks is increased by 5 feet.

#### Nature's Thorns
Beginning at 14th level, your bloodline provokes swift retaliation against those who dare to strike you. Once on each of your turns, the first time you are hit with a melee attack the attacker must make a Dexterity saving throw or take 4d6 piercing damage on a failed save, or half as much on a success, as a tangle of protective thorns briefly manifests around you.
