Blood Reaper (3.5e Class)

Blood Reaper

Blood Reapers are martial mages with an affinity for the scythe, blood, and chaos.

Enigmas, Blood Reapers, they dislike blood cults as they bring "disgrace" upon bloodletting, and yet they find no beauty in their art, simply stating "People die, blood flows, that's life"

Making a Blood Reaper

Blood Reapers are semi-reliant on allies and buffs since they are not proficient with armor of any kind. However they work best as secondary lines casting spells from safety while cutting down any who get too close.

Abilities: Constitution is the Blood Reapers main stat, while Dexterity and Charisma are secondary.

Races: As with all things chaos, Humans and Orcs are most common, though any can become a Blood Reaper.

Alignment: Any non Lawful, though Chaotic is most common.

Starting Gold: 3d4×10 gp (75gp).

Starting Age: As wizard.

Class Features

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Blood Reapers are Proficient in any natural weapons, the Longbow, and the Scythe. But no Armor.

Spells: Blood Reapers cast unique Bloodmagic. To learn or cast a spell, you must have a Constitution score equal to at least 10 + the spell level (Con 10 for 0-level spells, Con 11 for 1st-level spells, and so forth). The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against your spell is 10 + the spell level + your Con modifier.

You receive bonus spells per day if you have a high Constitution score (see Table 1—1: Ability Modifiers and Bonus Spells, page 8 of the Player's Handbook).

You begin knowing all 0-level spells and two 1st-level spells. Each time you gain a new class level, you learn one additional spell of any level you can cast.

When a Blood Reaper casts a spell, they lose the effect of fast healing, regeneration, and any other form of continuous healing for a number of rounds equal to the level of the spell cast, Blood Reapers bleed for 1d2 for this duration and the round the spell was cast. If the total damage from bleeding in a day equals or exceeds the Blood Reaper's constitution score they fall unconscious, taking non-lethal damage equal to the total damage they've bled that day. This effect has been dubbed The Price

A Blood Reaper's caster level is equivalent to his class level.

Blood Reave (Ex): When a Blood Reaper's Scythe hits an enemy it draws blood from the flesh coating it's blade, causing it to do an extra 1d6 for the next 5 rounds (this ability does not stack with itself or with the spell "Blade of Blood", however any hit that would activate Blood Reave causes the duration to reset itself.) When Blood Reave is active, you may choose to have spells you cast shorten the duration of Blood Reave for up to one round per level to avoid any bleeding caused by the Blood Reaper's casting, and Blade of Blood will use any blood already on the blade instead of requiring you to take damage to deal the 3d6 Any creatures that are immune to bleeding do not activate this ability.

Combat Casting: At 2nd level, you gain Combat Casting as a bonus feat.

Grim Macabre (Ex): At third level you emanate dismay to any who try to harm you causing them to waver. You get a deflection bonus to your AC equal to your Charisma modifier.

Death's Reach: When wielding a scythe you may treat it as a reach weapon while still using it against an adjacent foe.

Quick Cast: Beginning at 5th level, you can cast one spell each day as a swift action, so long as the casting time of the spell is 1 standard action or less.

Spell Power (Ex): Starting at 6th level, you can more easily overcome the spell resistance of any opponent. You gain a +2 bonus on your caster level check to overcome spell resistance. This bonus increases to +3 at 11th level, to +4 at 16th level, and to +5 at 18th level.

Sanguine Recital (Su): As a full round action you may choose two targets within 10ft. (including yourself) and exchange their lifeforce. (Their current health swaps) if a target would gain more current health than it's total, that amount is instead used to heal another target within 30 ft. Any amount past their max is turned into blood spikes and collapses onto you, dealing 1d4 per 10 health unused. (under 10 just splatters on the ground harmlessly) (Example, level 4 Barbarian max health 52 at full health, and a level 3 Fighter max health 36 at full health, are targeted, The Barbarian now has 36 health, the Fighter has 36 health, and a third party, a level 5 wizard max health 25 at 6 health gets healed for 16 and is now at 22).

Any creatures that are immune to bleeding are immune to this ability.

You must pay the price

Any unwilling targets must make a successful fortitude save to resist. (For all instances aside from spell slots, treat this as a spell of the highest level the Blood Reaper is able to cast)

Blood Hound (Sp): At level 10 a Blood Reaper may summon a medium hound made entirely out of blood, at level 15 you may summon a large Blood Hound. The Reaper and the hound share a telepathic bond. Summoning a Blood Hound takes three hours and you take 3d10 (4d12 to summon the large Blood Hound) damage per hour, requiring a Concentration DC equal to the damage taken to continue, if you fail you must wait a minimum of 8-hours before restarting the summon.
