Bloodrager (Class Archetype)

You use the power of ingested blood to generate magical power and fuel you in combat, transforming you into a horrifyingly fearsome opponent. You must select Bloodrager Dedication as your 2nd-level class feat.

Prerequisites: You must be a barbarian.

Bloodrager Adjustments: You are trained in Athletics, Medicine, and a number of additional skills equal to 2 plus your Intelligence modifier, instead of your normal starting skill proficiencies. You must choose the bloodrager instinct for your barbarian instinct.

Bloodrager Instinct

Drinking the potent magical blood of supernatural creatures has changed you and awakened magical power within you, along with a grim thirst.

Blood Rage (Instinct Ability): When raging, your physical attacks deal extra persistent bleed damage equal to half your additional damage from Rage. When you Cast a Spell that requires a spell attack roll while raging, apply the additional damage from Rage to that spell, even on a failure.

Specialization Ability: When using blood rage, increase the additional damage from Rage from 2 to 4. If you have greater weapon specialization, instead increase the damage from 4 to 8.

Raging Resistance: You resist slashing damage and persistent bleed damage, as well as damage dealt by the creature whose blood you last drank using Harvest Blood (see below), regardless of the damage type.

Trigger You fail a flat check to Cast a Spell or your spell would be disrupted by another creature's reaction.

The magical potency of your blood will not be denied. You finish Casting the Spell, then become Drained 1 or increase the value of your drained condition by 1.

The power within your blood grows. You gain the Basic Spellcasting Feat benefits. Each time you gain a spell slot of a new rank from the bloodrager archetype, add a common spell of the appropriate tradition and rank to your repertoire. In addition, when you Cast a Spell from your repertoire and you are at least Drained 1, increase the extra damage dealt by that spell from Rage by 1.

Requirements Your last action was to Harvest the Blood of a creature that can cast spells

You gorge upon the magical energies of your foe's blood. You regain one expended spell slot that must be of a lower rank than the highest rank spell you can cast. You become Drained 1 or increase the value of your drained condition by 1.

Requirements Your last action was to Harvest Blood.

Frequency once per hour

You temporarily add a 3rd-rank spell to your spell repertoire, as determined by the type of creature whose blood you just drank (see table below). If the creature has more than one of the listed traits, choose one and gain the appropriate spell. If the granted spell is not on your chosen tradition's list, you cast the spell as though it was from your chosen tradition. The spell is removed from your spell repertoire after 24 hours, the next time you use Spelldrinker, or when you next make your daily preparations, whichever comes first.

Special If you have Surging Blood Magic, you can add the spell at 4th rank. If you have Exultant Blood Magic, you can add the spell at 7th rank.

Requirements Your last action was a Strike that critically hit a creature that isn't immune to bleed damage.

You bathe in the arterial fluids of your enemy, drinking deep of their freed essence to empower your magic and increase your spellcasting efficacy. If your next action is to Cast a Spell that requires a spell attack roll, you roll the spell attack roll twice and use the better result; this is a fortune effect. Alternatively, if your next action is to cast a spell that requires the creature damaged by the triggering strike to attempt a save, they roll twice and take the lower result; this is a misfortune effect.

Your blood courses with magic. You gain the Expert Spellcasting Feat benefits. In addition, when you Cast a Spell from your repertoire and you are at least Drained 2, increase the extra damage dealt by that spell from Rage by an additional 2 (for a total of 3).

The magic in your blood sings an exultant song of battle. You gain the master spellcasting benefits. Increase the spell slots you gain from the bloodrager archetype feats by 1 for each spell rank. In addition, when you Cast a Spell from your repertoire and you are at least Drained 2, double the extra damage dealt by that spell from Rage instead.
