Hand of Blood (5e Subclass)
The Hand of Blood
(Fighter Subclass)
(This subclass was highly inspired by Darius, a champion in the game League of Legends.) One day, a man woke up in the woods, alone and without any memory of why he was there. But he had a new goal in his mind: killing his enemies until they were a pile of flesh and blood. Lifting his hand in the air, he noticed a strange weapon soaked in blood, slowly absorbing the liquid.

The bleed can stack up to 5 times, adding 1d4 damage for each stack. the effect can be reduce by one stack by making a Constitution saving throw (8 + Strength modifier + proficency bonus) . At 7th level, the blood puts you in a state of frenzy. While a creature is at 5 stacks , you double your strength modifier to your damage rolls.
