# Hemonancer ## Overview The Hemomancer is a spellcasting class that harnesses the power of blood magic to deal damage, heal, and manipulate life force. They wield weapons infused with their own blood, creating a unique bond that allows them to channel their magic through melee combat. ### A brief Preface In the realm of Praesidia, where the threads of magic and nature are interwoven, there exists a unique and enigmatic group known as the Hemomancers. These individuals have unlocked the latent powers of the ancient World Tree of Elefia, harnessing its life-giving energies to wield the magic of blood in ways that few can comprehend. The Hemomancers are intrinsically tied to the delicate balance between life and magic, using their abilities to cleanse, heal, and manipulate blood as a means of fostering both the well-being of their kin and the harmony of their world. ### Hemomancy in Praesidia The Hemomancers, living in harmony with their surroundings, often establish their communities in the tranquil groves and sacred sites surrounding the World Tree Elefia. These settlements become centers of knowledge, where young Hemomancers are trained and where the mysteries of blood magic are preserved through generations. The Hemomancers understand the vital role they play in maintaining the health of the realm, and they are often sought out for their unique healing abilities. Hemomancers are deeply respected and revered by other inhabitants of Praesidia. Many view them as wise healers, capable of mending wounds and curing ailments that would otherwise be incurable. However, some are cautious of their power, knowing that mastery over blood magic requires a deep understanding of its consequences and the balance between life and death. In the realm of magic, the Hemomancers stand as a testament to the interconnectedness of all things. Through their manipulation of blood, they not only heal and protect, but also remind the world that life's vitality flows through every living being, connecting them to the eternal pulse of the World Tree's magic. \columnbreak ### Creating a Hemomancer To become a Hemomancer is to embrace a journey that intertwines the mysteries of blood magic with the sanctity of nature's essence. Hemomancers are often chosen at a young age, displaying a deep affinity for the World Tree's energies and the innate magic that flows through their own veins. Their training is rigorous and spiritual, demanding both mastery over the manipulation of blood and an understanding of the interconnectedness of all living beings. As they progress, Hemomancers learn to channel their powers for a variety of purposes, from healing wounds to shaping the very flow of life force. Hemomancers possess an intrinsic connection to the World Tree Elefia, and their abilities reflect this bond. They wield their magic through incantations that resonate with the primal energies of the tree, harnessing its life-giving essence to manipulate blood and restore vitality. Their spells are often accompanied by symbolic gestures, reflecting their reverence for the balance of life and their desire to preserve it. ### Backgrounds ##### Treewarden Disciple You were raised within the sacred groves surrounding the World Tree Elefia, learning the ancient ways of the Hemomancers from a young age.

See chapter 10 for the general rules of spellcasting. #### Cantrips At 1st level, you know two cantrips of your choice from the hemomancer spell list. You learn additional hemomancer cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the hemomancer table. #### Preparing And Casting Spells The Hemomancer table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these hemomancer 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. You prepare the list of hemomancer spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the hemomancer spell list. When you do so, choose a number of hemomancer spells equal to your Constitution modifier + your hemomancer level (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For example, if you are a 3rd-level hemomancer, you have four 1st-level and two 2nd-level spell slots. With a Constitution of 16, your list of prepared spells can include six spells of 1st or 2nd level, in any combination. If you prepare the 1st-level spell Siphon Life, you can cast it using a 1st-level or 2nd-level slot. Casting the spell doesn't remove it from your list of prepared spells. You can also change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of hemomancer spells requires time spent in meditation: at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your list. #### Spellcasting Ability Constitution is your spellcasting ability for your hemomancer spells, since your magic draws upon your devotion and attunement to life essence. You use your Consitution whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Constitution modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a hemomancer spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one. <font face='scalysans' size='2'> <center> **Spell Save DC** 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier **Spell attack modifier** </font> = <font face='scalysans' size='2'> your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier </center> </font #### Ritual Casting You can cast a hemomancer spell as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag and you have the spell prepared. #### Spellcasting Focus You can use your book of prayer as a spellcasting focus, as long as you make a blood sacrifice of your own blood after every long rest. \columnbreak ### 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. ### Bloodbonding At 1st level, you learn the ritual of Bloodbonding. During a short rest, you can perform this ritual on a melee weapon you are proficient with. Once the ritual is complete, the weapon becomes your Bloodbonded weapon. You can use your Constitution modifier instead of Strength or Dexterity for attack and damage rolls with this weapon. If you’re afflicted by a disease or are poisoned, enemies struck by your Bloodbonded weapon need to succeed a DC12 Constitution save or become afflicted as well. ### Hemomancer's Blood Dice At 2nd level, you gain a special die called Hemomancer's Blood Dice, which starts as a d4. You can expend this die to enhance your attacks and abilities. The die increases to a d6 at 5th level, a d8 at 11th level, and a d10 at 17th level. You gain another dice at 4th, 6th and 8th levels. You regain all expended Hemomancer's Blood Dice after finishing a long rest. ### Bloodletting Strikes Starting at 2nd level, when you hit a creature with a melee weapon attack using your Bloodbonded weapon, you can choose to expend a Hemomancer's Blood Die to deal additional necrotic damage equal to the result rolled on the die. ### Hemomantic Resilience At 4th level, your connection to blood magic enhances your physical and magical resilience. You gain resistance to necrotic damage, and whenever you roll a Hemomancer's Blood Die for damage, you regain hit points equal to half the result rolled on the die. ### Extra Attack Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn. \pagebreakNum ### Blood Magic Mastery Beginning at 6th level, your mastery over blood magic grows stronger. When you cast a spell that deals damage or restores hit points, you can roll a Hemomancer's Blood Die and add twice its result to the spell's damage or healing. ### Lifeblood Surge At 10th level, you can channel an immense surge of life force through your Bloodbonded weapon. Once per long rest, you can spend a full action to charge your weapon. For the next minute, all your melee weapon attacks deal an additional 2d10 necrotic damage, and you regain hit points equal to half the necrotic damage dealt by your attacks. ### Exsanguinate At 12th level, you unlock the ability to tap into the life essence of your enemies, draining their vitality to fuel your own power. Once a day, when you deal damage to a creature with a spell that requires an attack roll or forces a saving throw, you can choose to activate the Exsanguinate feature. The target must make a Constitution saving throw against your spell save DC. On a failed save, the target takes an additional 6d6 necrotic damage, and that kills them, you regain one expended spell slot of your choosing. On a successful save, the target takes half damage, and you don't regain any hit points. ### Sanguine Ascendance At 17th level, you become a true master of hemomancy. Once a day, as an action, you may draw blood from all living creatures within 60 feet of you that have taken physical damage in the last 1 minute.
