Activate—Exsanguinate 1 (concentrate)
Frequency once per day
Requirements Your most recent action was to successfully deal persistent bleed damage to a creature with Drink Life
Effect The blade's power draws even more blood from your victim. The required creature takes 6d6 bleed damage. You gain temporary Hit Points equal to half the bleed damage the creature takes (after applying resistances and the like). You lose any remaining temporary Hit Points after 1 minute.
Critical Specialisation Effects
Certain effects can grant you benefits when you make a Strike with certain weapons and get a critical success. This is called a critical specialisation effect. The exact effect depends on which weapon group your weapon belongs to, as listed below. You can always decide not to add the critical specialisation effect of your weapon.
Sword: The target is made off-balance by your attack, becoming off-guard until the start of your next turn.
