Archetypes of Blood Power (d20)
"Mortals are terribly short-sighted and superstitious creatures. They may have been foolish enough to let cruormancy slip through their fingertips¸ but the universe never lets go of her power. And she admires those who are bold enough to take it."
- DahKikus¸ the Hex Blood
The use of cruormantic magic and the capturing of cruormantic energies is considered by most to be a lost art. Thousands of years have passed since casters who mastered its secrets roamed the realms and were it not for the esoteric studies and grim determination of a few hardened wizards¸ scholars¸ and occultists¸ it may have been lost to the ether long ago.
But like the other schools of arcane¸ despite humanity's loss of how to properly wield its power¸ cruormantic influence can be found twisting its way into and around the Prime Material. Whether through the awakening of ancient blood abilities¸ the blessing of otherworldly beings¸ or the rituals of mystic cabals¸ the powers of blood magic are still there for those who know where to look.
This supplement includes:
- The Otherworldly Patron¸ Orowmahn¸ The Blood Crown. An ancient cruormancer that empowers his warlocks through the artifactual crown his essence is trapped in.
- The Primal Path¸ Path of Quickened Blood. A line of barbarians from a time when mortals competed against the god-like beings.
- The Roguish Archetype¸ the Crimson Arachai. A cabal of assassins that do more with blood than just spill it.
- The Sacred Oath¸ the Oath of Sacrifice. An extreme order of paladins who give of themselves to protect the innocent and destroy evil.
- And 6 new advanced cruormancy spells¸ for spell levels 5-9.
