Heresy Domain
Every religion has its sects and disagreements, and this is
very much true of the religions of the various deities
worshipped by wider society. However, sometimes a cleric
goes so far that their interpretation of their faith can’t be
described as anything except absolute heresy against the
faith. These clerics represent a fundamental threat to the
established order of their faith, be it by encouraging more
intellectual and philosophical debate to sermons, or
sometimes believing in the need to force others to convert to
the faith.
In whatever case, you have ended up as a heretic of your
own particular faith, branded as such either by developing
your own ideas or walking the path of another heretic before
you.
Heresy’s Foundation
At 1st level, choose any other domain. You gain the features
that domain would grant at level 1, and the Domain Spells of
this domain are the same as the domain you chose.
Divergent Doctrine
Also at 1st level, you have chosen to reject the popular
dogma of your domain, instead choosing to express it
differently and giving up something in return. Choose from
among the following features.
Textual Obsession. Your obsession with the text and
knowledge of your deity has led you to drawing power from
your own interpretations of the text, and this has made you
few friends. Your spellcasting ability is Intelligence instead
of Wisdom and you use Intelligence whenever a Cleric
feature calls for Wisdom. In addition, you may prepare a
single Wizard spell for each level of spell slot you have. This
is added to what you would usually prepare each day.
However, your study has made you less inclined towards
your less scholarly pursuits, and you lose any proficiencies
you possess in weapons except daggers, darts, slings,
quarterstaffs, and light crossbows, and you lose proficiency
in all armors and shields. If you gain any of these
proficiencies from a source besides your class, you still have
those proficiencies.
Demagoguery. You obsess with evangelizing and
spreading the creeds of your deity by pulling on heartstrings
and stoking the flames of rage, and using your spells to help
with this as much as possible, which gives you no friends
within your faith. Your spellcasting ability is Charisma and
you use Charisma whenever a Cleric feature calls for
Wisdom. Whenever you use a spell to grant a beneficial
effect to a creature, the duration of that effect is tripled if it
doesn’t have a duration of instantaneous. That creature is
also charmed by you for the duration of the effect and for a
number of days after the effect ends equal to the level of the
spell so long as you or any of your allies have never attacked
it. However, your ways have left you with little patience for
methodical, standard procedures, and a more delegative
attitude. You lose the ability to use ritual casting for your
spells granted by your spellcasting feature, and all damage
your spells deal is reduced by an amount equal to 5 times
either the spell’s level or 1, whichever is greater.
Secret Worshiper. Your religion is unpopular or even
forbidden in the environment you grew up in, and you
outright may have lacked official text or guidance. Your
1
desire to be unseen has also led you to gain proficiency in  
Stealth, Deception, and Sleight of Hand. However, your
need for subtlety has left you unfamiliar with the symbols of
your faith and a need for caution. You can’t use spellcasting
foci for your spells, and you take 10 minutes longer to cast
rituals.
Zealotry. You firmly believe that the best method to spread
the word of your deity is through overwhelming force.
Whenever you deal damage to a creature, you may add your
proficiency bonus to the damage. However, your zeal has left
you unable to care for the wounds of others, and even your
own wounds are stubborn to most healing. Whenever you
would cast a spell that would restore hit points to a creature,
you instead restore none. Whenever you would recover hit
points by any means except rolling hit dice, you recover half
that amount instead, rounded down.
Channel Divinity: Heretical Channel
At 2nd level, choose one of the following options. You gain
that option to use with your Channel Divinity feature.
Divine Assurance. Whenever you or another creature you
can see make an ability check and get a result on the die of 9
or less, you may use your Channel Divinity as a reaction to
treat the d20 roll as if it had rolled 10.
Enraging Litany. As an action, you use your Channel
Divinity to enrage a creature that you’ve charmed. That
creature rolls a Charisma saving throw. On a failure, you
choose another creature you can see. For 1 minute, on each
of the target’s turns, it moves as close as it can to the target
and attacks the target with whatever method it can. If it has
multiple methods it could use, you choose which one. It
gains a bonus to its damage rolls equal to your Charisma
modifier. It may repeat the saving throw at the end of each of
its turns. It automatically succeeds if you or any of your allies
damage it.
Subtlety. Whenever you cast a spell, you may expend your
Channel Divinity to cast the spell without needing to perform
any verbal or somatic components.
Violent Outburst. As an action, you use your Channel
Divinity to empower you with a zealous frenzy. When you
next take the attack action, you gain an extra attackg. If you
hit with all of your attacks on a single target, the target takes
additional Radiant damage equal to two times your level.
Fundemental Heresy your faith, and you’re immune to any attempts to scry on you  
Your doctrine has diverged so heavily that you now walk unless you allow it. These protections extend to creatures of
your own path. Beginning at 6th level, you gain one of the your choice without 10 miles of you. In addition, you may

any ability check you make that uses Stealth, Deception, or
Sleight of Hand.
Inspired Comrades. If a creature charmed by you starts its
turn adjacent to you, it gains temporary hit points equal to
your proficiency bonus plus your Charisma modifier. While
it has these hit points, it may expend all of them and gain a
bonus to a single attack roll, damage roll, saving throw, or
ability check. The bonus equals the number of temporary hit
points it expended.
Violent Dogma. You can attack twice, instead of once,
whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.
Clerical Expression
At 8th level, you choose the expression of your divine
powers. Choose one of the following features.
Potent Spellcasting. At 8th level, you add your
spellcasting ability modifier to the damage you deal with any
cleric cantrip.
Divine Strike. At 8th level, you gain the ability to infuse
your weapon strikes with divine energy. Once on each of
your turns when you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you
can cause the attack to deal an extra 1d8 damage of the
same type dealt by the weapon to the target. When you reach
14th level, the extra damage increases to 2d8.
Divine Aid. At 8th level, you may empower others with
divine might. As a bonus action on your turn, you may
choose an ally you can see. Until the start of your next turn,
that ally gains a bonus to their damage rolls equal to your
spellcasting ability modifier.
Final Heresy
At 17th level, you have arrived at the apex of your heretical Art by MorkarDFC

ideas, a final capstone to your beliefs.

Divine Spell. Choose a spell of 3rd level or lower on either
the Cleric or Wizard spell lists. You may cast that spell at
will without expending a spell slot.
Cult of Personality. Once per day, you may choose a
creature charmed by you that isn’t another player’s
character. That creature rolls a Charisma saving throw
against you spell save DC. On a failure, that creature is
permanently charmed by you. Any creature charmed like
this is willing to risk its life for you, and will attempt to fulfill
any request you make of it that does not infringe on their
dignity. If they are adjacent to you when you become the
target of an attack or spell, they become the target of that
attack or spell instead. A creature charmed this way only
ceases to be charmed when targeted by a Greater
Restoration spell.
Beacon of the Faith. You are a pillar for your religion
within your community, and must be able to keep it alive.
You are immune to the Zone of Truth spell and any other
spell which could compell you to expose yourself or others of

 Fighter Archetype: Sword Sage
In the far reaches of the world, there exist places where the
art of fighting isn’t taught through the power of the body or
the speed of one’s hand. Instead, it’s taught to utlize your
mind in the most powerful of ways, to disconnect the hand
from the self and wield more weapons than any fighter ever
could. These are the sword sages, fighters who through the
power and discipline of their mind wield a plethora of
weapons at once in a halo of steel. Very few have ever found
the skill necessary to utilize this discipline, and even fewer
have mastered it. However, the tales of those few masters
tell the story of warriors who could dominate an entire
battlefield without ever lifting their hands.
Now, you have embraced this discipline, and have
embarked on your path to the mental mastery of the blade.
Halo of Swords
Beginning when you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you
unlock the special ability to mentally manipulate and control
multiple weapons using just your mind. As a bonus action,
you may target a number of melee weapons you’re proficient
with equal to 1 plus your Intelligence modifier within 10 feet
of you that are not held by another creature. They must lack
the two-handed, heavy, and special properties. If they have
the versatile trait, they do not benefit from it while in your
Halo of Swords. These weapons float around and follow you
like a halo, and are considered held by you even though
you’re making no contact with them. While you maintain a
Halo of Swords, you are considered to be concentrating on a
spell, but taking damage doesn’t cause you to roll to
maintain concentration on it.
Attacking. When you would make a weapon attack, you
may choose to make that attack with your Halo of Swords.
The have the following traits.
They have a reach of 10 feet.
You must not be wielding a shield.
You make the attack and damage rolls with your
Intelligence modifier.
You gain to bonus to damage rolls equal to half the
number of weapons in your Halo, rounded down.
When you hit with an attack using your Halo of Swords,
you choose the damage die and type of one weapon in
your Halo of Swords.
If weapons in your Halo of Swords have enhancement
bonuses, you only benefit from the highest enhancement
bonus.
If a weapon in your Halo of Swords has an effect when it
deals damage, it occurs whenever you deal damage using
your Halo of Swords.
Save DCs. Certain effects will require enemies to roll
saving throws against your effects. This is calculared as
follows:
Save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence
modifier
Sagely Pursuits
Also at 3rd level, choose one skill from the following list:
Arcana, History, Investigation, Nature, and Religion. You
gain proficiency in that skill. Your proficiency bonus is
doubled for any ability check you make that uses the chosen
skill.
3
Sword Sage’s Arcana  
At 7th level, your continuous training of your mind has
allowed you to replicate the effects of certain spells that
benefit your unique way of fighting. You gain the
Prestidigitation and Mending cantrips. Intelligence is your
spellcasting ability for these spells.
In addition, you may use your bonus action on your turn to
ward your mind against attack. Choose Intelligence,
Wisdom, or Charisma. For 1 minute, you gain proficiency in
saving throws made with the chosen ability. If you already
have proficiency in saving throws for that ability, you instead
make those saving throws with advantage. You also gain
resistance to psychic damage for the same duration. You
may use this feature three times before needing to take a
short or long rest.
Phalanx of Swords
At 10th level, you learn to use your Halo of Swords for a
wider variety of uses. You may use your action on your turn
to make a single large sweeping attack in the area around
you. Each enemy within 15 feet of you must succeed on a
Dexterity saving throw or take damage equal to the total dice
of the weapons in your Halo of Swords and fall prone. Once
you use this feature in this way, you must finish a short or
long rest before using it again.
In addition, as an action while your Halo of Swords has 4
or more weapons in it, you may form your Halo of Swords
around you as a barrier, giving you resistance to slashing,
piercing, and bludgeoning damage until the start of your
next turn. If you do, you may make one attack as part of the
same action.
Razor Intellect
Beginning at 15th level, your mind has sharpened to a point
that you’re a constant threat on the battlefield. You gain a
number of additional reactions each round equal to the
number of weapons in your Halo of Swords that may only be
used for opportunity attacks. For each opportunity attack
you make in a round past the first, when you hit with that
attack, it deals only the damage you roll on its weapon die.
Do not add any additional modifiers or dice. You may only
make one opportunity attack per trigger.
In addition, you gain a set of special attunement slots
which you may only use to attune to weapons. The number
of these attuenment slots is equal to your Intelligence
modifier.
Reign of Steel
Beginning at 18th level, as a bonus action on your turn while
you’re maintaining a Halo of Swords with 4 or more swords
in it, you may empower your Halo of Swords with
frightening mental might to dominate the battlefield like no
one else can. For 1 minute, your reach increases to 20 feet,
enemies within your reach that move more than five feet,
cast a spell, or make an attack that doesn’t include you
provoke opportunity attacks from you, and when you hit a
creature with an attack using your Halo of Swords, your
bonus damage from your Halo of Swords is doubled.
Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you
have finished a short or long rest.
 
 Monastic Tradition: Way of the
Dragon
The dragon is pure power, distilled into a body capable of
reducing a village to ash. Such a creature is no model for a
normal monastary, but sometimes in the streets of the
roughest cities something resembling the nature of a
monstary emerges. From this comes those who practice the
way of the dragon, becoming more brutal and savage than
any other tradition would ever dare to be. Most followers of
the other ways even refuse to call them monks due to this,
but their dedication and unflinching nature makes it
incredibly clear where these individuals lay. Either on the
streets for their particular gang or on their own after being
expelled, there is none more fearsome than a dragon in
humanoid form.
Essence of the Dragon
When you choose this tradition at 3rd level, your rough
training in the most dangeorus environment of the streets
manifests fully. You gain the following features:
Fists of the Dragon. While using nothing but your bare
fists, your Martial Arts die increases by one step. Your fists
may be targeted by spells as if they were weapons when you
allow them to be. You also gain proficiency with improvised
weapons, and may use them as if they were monk weapons.
Iron Gut. When you benefit from your Unarmored
Defense feature, you may calculate your AC as 10 + your
Strength modifier + your Wisdom modifier.
Demand Respect. You gain proficiency in Intimidation if
you didn’t have it already. Whenever you roll an ability check
using Intimidation, your proficiency bonus is doubled. In
addition, you may use Strength instead of Charisma for any
Intimidation check. Whenever you hit an enemy with an
attack from your flurry of blows, they must make a Wisdom
saving throw. On a failure, they are frightened of you for 1
minute.
Awaken the Dragon
Starting at 6th level, you may enter a heightened state of
power. You may spend any number of ki points. You gain the
following benefits depending on the number of ki points
spent, and each last for 10 minutes.
3 ki points. Increase your martial arts die’s size by 1 step.
A d12 becomes 2d6.
Art by ttalgi_null
 6 ki points. Whenever an enemy attacks you, you may  
expend your reaction to make an attack against them. On a
hit, the enemy is stunned until the end of your next turn,
interrupting their attack.
9 ki points. You may use your flurry of blows, patient
defense, and step of the wind features without expending ki
points.
12 ki points. You have advantage on all d20 rolls you
make.
15 ki points. Whenever you deal damage with an unarmed
attack, you roll double the amount of dice.
18 ki points. When you target a single creature with four
attacks on the same turn and hit with all four, that creature
is knocked prone and is paralyzed until the end of your next
turn.
This power visibly flows out from you, growing in intensity
with the amount of points you spent.
Power of the Dragon
Starting at 11th level, your command over the dragon within
has grown incredibly. You gain the following features.
Roar of the Dragon. As an action, you may expend 2 ki
points and let out a fearsome roar,. Each enemy who can
hear you within 30 feet of you must make a Wisdom saving
throw. On a failure, they become frightened until the end of
your next turn. If they were already frightened, they become
stunned until the end of your next turn instead.
Dragon’s Heat. Whenever you get a critical hit on an
enemy, you recover 3 ki points.
Beastly Grapple. If a creature you’re grappling is your size
or smaller, you may use them to bludgeon another creature
within reach. Treat this as if you’re making an unarmed
attack, and whenever you hit with a grappled creature, both
the creature you hit and the creature you’re grappling take
the damage.
Dragon’s Finisher
At 17th level, you have ceased to give your enemies quarter,
and decided an example must be made of those who stand in
your way. Whenever you roll a critical hit against a
frightened enemy, treat the damage as if you rolled the
highest possible result. If the creature was stunned, you
instead reduce that creature to 0 hit points, and each enemy
within 30 feet of you becomes frightened until the end of
your next turn.

 Oath of Freedom
Against the ever-present growth of evil and corruption within
the cities scattered across the world, the governments
becoming mere pawns or worse, and the criminal
underworld filling the gaps between, it becomes ever
apparent that one’s freedom is diminishing. Standing
against this tide will be those that take this oath, perhaps
fruitlessly. Blending in amongst everyday people, they fight
an endless war against tyranny, slavery of all kinds, and all
who would seek to bend others to their will. Variously called
freedom fighters, rebels, and (at their loftiest, greatest
heights) dragonslayers, paladins of the oath of freedom will
never back down while someone seeks to impose tyranny
over the people, and they’ll die for it if they have to. And at
the apex of their power, even the most powerful tyrants
aren’t safe from them.
Oath Features
Tenets of Freedom
The tenets of the Oath of Freedom push a paladin to fight
against unjust rule, tyrannical law, and hopes to one day
push them to ending the lives of tyrants once and for all.
Freedom from Tyranny. Never attempt to force an
innocent to act in a certain way, or threaten them if they
refuse. Tyrants and their ilk will always be the way they are,
and attempting to redeem them is meaningless.
Freedom of Choice. Always fight to allow others to live
their own lives as they wish to, so long as they do not seek to
harm or tyrannize innocents along the way.
Fight for Freedom. Never allow tyrants to remain in
power, slavers to remain in business, corrupt guards to
abuse power, or anyone else tyranizing others to continue.
Always Fight the Big One. Your enemies are, by nature,
powerful and will never want to give up that power. Fight
them anyway, and keep fighting until you can’t fight
anymore. Fight however you have to to take them down,
break whatever laws you have to. Your only restrictions are
these tenets.
Your Word is Your Bond. Once you make an honest
promise, you are bound to complete it. If two promises you
make contradict or a promise you make is truly impossible,
you must immediately seek the one you made the promise
you broke to and make amends. A promise to a tyrant or
their servants is never binding. You may not break a promise
for any other reason.

Channel Divinity
3rd-level Oath of Freedom feature
When you take this oath at 3rd level, you gain the
following Channel Divinity options. See the Sacred Oath
class feature for how Channel Divinity works.
Declaration of Freedom. As a bonus action, you channel
your defiance and free yourself or an ally, using your channel
divinity. If you or that ally are charmed, restrained, grappled,
petrified, or paralyzed, that condition immediately ends. If
that condition is being caused by a creature being in contact
with the target, that creature is immediately moved 5 feet
away from the target, and the target can’t be subjected to
those conditions until the end of your next turn. In addition,
that creature gains advantage on any roll they make to
escape any bond or restraint until the end of your next turn.
Strike as Lightning. As a bonus action, you may expend
your channel divinity to quickly reposition your allies. Each
ally that can hear you within 30 feet of you may move up to
their speed. This movement does not provoke opportunity
attacks. Then, they may expend their reaction to make a
single attack or cast a spell with a casting time of 1 action.
Art by Jesper Ejsing
Aura of Evasion  
Beginning at 7th level, you gain an aura that grants you and
your nearby allies the necessary abilities to slip away from
authority. You and creatures of your choice that start their
turn within 10 feet of you may ignore up to 15 feet of difficult
terrain once per turn, and may use the Disengage action or
Dash action once per turn as a bonus action. At 18th level,
this extends to creatures of your choice within 30 feet of you.
Fade Away
Starting at 15th level, you add Nystul’s Magic Aura to your
spell list, and may cast it without consuming a spell slot.
Whenever you cast it, you don’t need to touch the target, and
may target a number of creatures and objects within 30 feet
of you equal to 1 + your Charisma modifier + your
proficiency bonus (minimum of 1). In addition, any creatures
you designate with the spell have advantage on Dexterity
(Stealth) and Charisma (Deception) checks, and those
creatures can’t be affected by Detect Thoughts, Scrying, or
spells that perform similar effects unless they choose to be.
Wings of Rebellion
You have become the bane of tyrants, a true beacon of
freedom and a slayer of tyrants far and wide. You build up to
your perfect time to strike, and then strike them down in a
furious burst of speed and ferocity…then vanish without a
trace. Beginning at 20th level, as a bonus action on your
turn, you may invoke the divine to give you the power to slay
a tyrant. You gain the following benefits for 1 minute:
Your movement speed doubles, and you gain a flying
speed equal to your new walking speed.
Once per round, whenever you fail a saving throw, you
may choose to succeed instead. If it’s a spell and would
deal half damage on a success, you take no damage from
the spell.
Any damage you deal ignores immunities and
resistances, and damage you deal can’t be reduced by any
means. Damage you deal bypasses temporary hit points
and instead immediately damages the actual hit points of
your target. Damage you deal can’t be healed by any
means until 1 hour has passed since the damage was
dealt.
Whenever you reduce a creature to 0 hit points while
using this feature, you may choose to banish that
creature’s soul, shattering them entirely. If you do, that
creature’s soul does not arrive to any afterlife and its
essence is scattered across the planes. That creature
can’t be restored to life by any means, not even Wish or
the will of a deity.
When these benefits end, you and up to 5 other creatures
of your choice may teleport up to 1 mile to a place you know.
This teleport can’t be prevented by any means. Whether or
not you do, you gain a level of exhaustion. You can’t use this
feature while you have any levels of exhaustion.

 Roguish Archetype: Mad Dog
In the depths of the underworld, there are all variety of
criminal and unsavory elements. But here and there, you
find one individual so utterly crazed that even the most
hardened criminal is unnerved by their presence. For their
brutality, unpredictability, eccentricity, or some combination
of the three, these mad dogs of the underworld are masters
of the art of keeping their foes on their toes, and then
demonstrating that being on their toes doesn’t matter if their
leg’s been cut open when they weren’t looking, or taken a
club to the head when they fall to the ground.
Dog’s Grace
Beginning at 3rd level when you take this archetype, you
gain proficiency in improvised weapons, and you may use
your sneak attack with any simple weapon or improvised
weapon, even if it’s not a finesse weapon. You may also
perform your sneak attack when you make an unarmed
strike, which deals a d4 in damage. You may use Charisma
for the attack and damage rolls of attacks you make with
simple weapons, improvised weapons, and unarmed strikes.
In addition, while you’re unarmored and not using a
shield, you may use your bonus action to gain a bonus to
your AC equal to your Charisma modifier.
Lord of the Night
Your time in the night has given you some form of
understanding of how a given city’s nightlife works, and how
best to defend yourself from it. Beginning at level 3, you gain
proficiency in Intimidation. If you already had proficiency in
Intimidation, you may gain proficiency in Persuasion or
Deception instead.
In addition, whenever you use Intimidation to threaten
someone, if you have previously attacked and damaged them
or someone else in their sight, you have advantage on the
roll.
7
Essence of the Mad Dog  
Beginning at 9th level, you gain an additional special bonus
action that you may only use with your Cunning Action and
only while you’re unarmored. Actions you take when you use
this feature gain additional effects.
In addition, when you use your Dog’s Grace feature to
gain a bonus to your armor class, the first attack made
against you before the start of your next turn has
disadvantage.
Dash. If you end your movement adjacent to an enemy,
you have advantage on your next attack roll against them in
the same turn.
Disengage. If an enemy you disengaged from moves into a
square adjacent to you on its turn, you may use your reaction
to make an attack against them. On a hit, you may apply your
sneak attack damage, even if you already used it this turn.
Hide. If you successfully hide from a creature, the next
time you would deal sneak attack damage to a creature
you’re hidden from, you may reroll any 1s you roll for
damage until they’re not a 1.
Fear the Mad Dog
At 13th level, whenever you reduce a creature to 0 hit points,
you may make an Intimidation check against an enemy you
can see. They must make a Wisdom saving throw against
your result. On a failure, they become frightened.
In addition, you have advantage against any enemy with
the frightened condition.
Mad Dog’s Execution
At 17th level, you have reached the apex of the night.
Whenever you roll the maximum result on any of your sneak
attack dice, you may roll it again and add it to the final result.
In addition, whenever you would deal your Sneak Attack
damage to an enemy granting advantage to you, your Sneak
Attack damage dice become d8s rather than d6s.

Sorcererous Origin: Blood
The power of blood is paramount, to some. It is long held by
certain traditions that the potency of magical symbols and
glyphs written in blood is stronger, as containing fractions of
the latent energy of life can suffuse a spell. But the macabre
nature of doing so and the ethical concerns of where the
blood is sourced, along with potentially the physical
demands on the user, limits its applicability, as well as
certain arguments that it’s no any more powerful than what
is traditionally used.
Through happenstance, your blood is now suffused with
magic, giving each drop the supposed power all blood is
purported to have. Perhaps there’s a particularly powerful
mage in your bloodline, or perhaps it’s just the result of one
too many brushes with the magical. Either way, its effect on
you is clear.
Blood Spells
You learn additional spells when you reach certain levels in
this class, as shown on the Blood Spells table. Each of these
spells counts as a sorcerer spell for you, but it doesn’t count
against the number of sorcerer spells you know.
Whenever you gain a sorcerer level, you can replace one
spell you gained from this feature with another spell of the
same level. The new spell must be a conjuration or an
necromancy spell from the cleric, sorcerer, or warlock spell
list.
Blood Spells  
Class
Level Spells
1st Create or Destroy Water, Ice Knife, Inflict
Wounds
3rd Cloud of Daggers, Wither and Bloom
5th Life Transference, Vampiric Touch
7th Blight, Evard’s Black Tentacles
9th Enervation, Maelstrom
In the Blood
Starting when you choose this origin at 1st level, the
demands of this origin are a demand on your body, not your
strength of will. As such, your spellcasting ability for your
Sorcerer spells is Constitution. Replace Charisma in all
Sorcerer features you gain that reference Charisma with
Constitution.
In addition, you may use a dagger as a spellcasting focus
for your spells. If a spell you cast has a material component
it consumes with no gold cost, you may replace that
component with a drop of your blood.
Blood Magic
Also at 1st level, you have attuned yourself to one of the
most feared methods of magic: True blood magic. Whenever
you cast a spell of first level or higher, you may expend a hit
die, rolling it and inflicting damage to yourself equal to the
amount rolled. You must have a sharp implement in hand
when you use this feature to gain its benefits. Then, choose
one of the following effects.
If the spell has a material component with a gold cost
that’s consumed, you reduce the cost by an amount equal
to 10 times the damage dealt. At level 7, this becomes an
amount equal to 100 times the damage dealt. At level 14,
this becomes 1000 times the damage dealt. Any amount
over what you need is lost.
If the spell has a duration, multiply the duration by the
damage dealt. If it’s a concentration spell, the additional
time does not need to be concentrated on, but the spell
ends if you would lose concentration on another spell and
you can’t use this option again until the spell ends.
If the spell rolls dice, you may increase or reduce the
result for any roll in its duration by the amount of hit
points you lost.
If the spell has a casting time of 1 round or more, reduce
the casting time by a number of rounds equal to twice the
damage dealt. If this would reduce it below 1 round, it
reduces it to 1 action instead.
You my only use one hit die per spell cast. If you can’t use
any of the listed effects, you instead inflict necrotic damage
equal to twice the damage dealt to yourself to creatures of
your choice within 15 feet of you.

 Sorcerous Blood
Starting at 6th level, you can use your sorcerous nature to
fuel your magic. As an action, you may expend any number
of Sorcery Points. For each point you spend, you gain a
blood die, which are d8s. Whenever you would use your
Blood Magic feature, you may choose to expend a blood die
instead of a hit die. Your blood dice remain until you would
next regain sorcery points, at which point you lose all
unspent blood dice. At level 12, they become d10s. At level
18, they become d12s.
In addition, whenever you would regain hit dice, you
regain an additional number of hit dice equal to your
Constitution modifier. Any hit dice that go over this amount
become blood dice.
Blood Infusion
Beginning at 14th level, you’ve learned to utilize the loss of
vitality of another for your own benefit, and to use a loss of
yours to help an ally. Whenever a spell you cast of 1st level
or higher would inflict necrotic damage to a creature, you
recover hit points equal to the damage dealt. If the damage
is 30 or greater, you regain a hit die. If you already have your
maximum number of dit dice, you gain a blood die.
In addition, whenever you would lose hit points from a
spell you cast, you may heal an ally you can see by an
amount equal to the number of hitpoints you lost.
Endless Reserves  
Beginning at 18th level, you’ve found that you have veritable
wellspring of arcane might within your blood. Whenever you
use your Blood Magic feature, you may choose from the
following options.
Two options from the list of effects, using the damage
dealt for both effects.
Inflict necrotic damage equal to four times the damage
you dealt to yourself to creatures of your choice within 30
feet of you.
Use any Metamagic option, even one you don’t have
access to otherwise, without using the damage dealt
instead of sorcery points.
In addition, whenever you roll initiative, you gain a
number of blood dice equal to your Constitution modifier.

In addition, whenever you would cast a spell that has
somatic components, a casting time of 1 action, and targets
a single creature, you may choose to perform those somatic
components as an unarmed attack against the target. If you
do, you have no disadvantage for making a spell attack roll
within 5 feet of a hostile creature, but if the attack misses,
the spell fails and the slot is wasted. You must have both
hands completely free to do this, even if another feature
would allow you to perform the somatic components of
spells with your hands full. Your spell must target the target  
of the unarmed attack. If a spell already includes a melee Art by gongsang81

spend your action to sustain its effects, you may repeat this
unarmed attack each time you sustain the effect.

and as a weapon when targeted by your own spells. In
addition, you have advantage on saving throws to maintain
concentration.
