Bloodrager

While many ferocious combatants can tap into a deep reservoir of buried rage, bloodragers have an intrinsic power that seethes within. Like sorcerers, bloodragers’ veins surge with arcane power. While sorcerers use this power for spellcasting, bloodragers enter an altered state in which their bloodline becomes manifest, where the echoes of their strange ancestry lash out with devastating power. In these states, bloodragers can cast some arcane spells instinctively. The bloodrager’s magic is as fast, violent, and seemingly unstoppable as their physical prowess.

Features

Bloodcasting

Prerequisite: Rage and Spellcasting

You gain the ability to concentrate on spells, even while raging, as long as your spellcasting ability is Constitution or Charisma. You can use a simple or martial melee weapon as a spellcasting focus for your spells.

Bloodline

Cost: 5 Character Points

The power that lies dormant in your blood awakens.

Each bloodrager has a source of magic somewhere in their heritage that empowers their rage. Sometimes this source reflects a distant blood relationship to a powerful being, or is due to an extreme event involving such a creature somewhere in their family’s past. Regardless of the source, this influence manifests in a number of ways.

Pick one bloodline. Once made, this choice cannot be changed. Bloodline abilities, with exception of languages, can only be used when raging.

Abyssal

Generations ago, a demon spread its filth into the essence of your bloodline. While it doesn’t manifest in all of your kin, in those moments when you’re bloodraging, you embody its terrifying presence.

You can speak, read, and write Abyssal.

Furthermore, you grow claws while raging. These count as two light finesse weapons that each deal 1d6 points of slashing damage. Once you have learned the Blood Sanctuary talent, these claws are considered magic weapons for the purpose of overcoming damage resistance. Once you have learned the Bloodrage talent, these claws become flaming weapons, which deal an additional 1d6 points of fire damage on a hit.

Additionally, when you rage you can choose to grow one size category larger than your base size, as Enlarge/Reduce.

Divine

Sometimes the spark of magic that fuels a sorcerer comes from a divine source that glimmers within the soul. Having such a blessed soul is a sign that your innate magic might come from a distant but powerful familial connection to a divine being.

Your link to the divine allows you to learn spells from the divine spell list. When your Spellcasting feature lets you learn or replace an arcane cantrip or arcane spell of 1st level or higher, you can choose the new spell from the arcane spell list or the diving spell list. You must otherwise obey all the restrictions for selecting the spell, and it becomes an arcane spell for you.

In addition, choose an affinity for the source of your divine power: good, evil, law, chaos, or neutrality. You learn an additional spell based on that affinity, as shown below. It is an arcane spell for you and does not count against your number of spells known. You may not replace this spell when you level up.

You can also speak, read and write either celestial or infernal.

Affinity	Spell
Good	Cure Wounds
Evil	Inflict Wounds
Law	Bless
Chaos	Bane
Neutrality	Protection from Evil and Good

Draconic

At some point in your family’s history, a dragon interbred with your bloodline. Now, the sublime monster’s ancient power fuels your bloodrage.

You can speak, read, and write Draconic.

Furthermore, as magic flows through your body, it causes physical traits of your dragon ancestors to emerge. Parts of your skin are covered by a thin sheen of dragon-like scales. When you aren’t wearing armour, your DR equals 3 + your Constitution modifier.

Elemental

The power of the elements resides in you, and at times you can hardly control its fury. This influence comes either from an elemental outsider in your family history or from a moment when you or your ancestors were exposed to a powerful elemental force or cataclysm.

You can speak, read, and write Primordial.

Furthermore, choose one element.

Element	Damage Type
Earth	Acid
Air	Lightning
Fire	Fire
Water	Cold

You gain resistance to damage of the associated type. In addition, whenever you start casting a spell of 1st level or higher that deals this kind of damage, magic erupts from you. This eruption causes creatures of your choice that you can see within 10 feet of you to take elemental damage equal to half your barbarian level.

Giant

You discover innate magical abilities within yourself that are based on your giant heritage.

You can speak, read, and write Giant.

Select one of the giant types from the table below. If you have the spellcasting feature, you learn a cantrip and a 1st level spell. If you can case 2nd level spells, you also learn a 2nd level spell. If you later gain such abilities, then you learn these spells at that time. The specific spells that you learn are associated with your choice, as shown in the table. These spells count as arcane spells for you, but they don’t count against your number of spells known.

Giant	Cantrips	1st Level Spell	2nd Level Spell
Cloud	Minor Illusion	Fog Cloud	Invisibility
Fire	Firebolt	Burning Hands	Flaming Sphere
Frost	Ray of Frost	Armour of Agathys	Hold Person
Hill	Shillelagh	Heroism	Enlarge/Reduce
Stone	Resistance	Entangle	Spike Growth
Storm	Shocking Grasp	Thunderwave	Gust of Wind

Shadow

You are a creature of shadow. Your innate magic comes from the Shadowfell itself. Perhaps you trace your lineage to an entity from that place, or were exposed to its fell energy and transformed by it. The power of shadow magic casts a strangepall over your physical presence. The spark of life that sustains you struggles against the dark energy of your soul.

You have darkvision with a range of 60 feet even when not raging. If you already have darkvision, its range extends to 120 feet. Whenever you enter a rage, the light level within 30 feet of you decreases by one step. If you can cast 2nd level spells, then you learn the darkness spell, which doesn’t count against your number of spells known. You can see through the darkness created by the spell.

In addition, you have resistance to cold damage and your melee attacks deal an additional martial feat die of cold damage.

Blood Sanctuary

Cost: 10 Character Points
Prerequisite: Bloodline and 4 Other Barbarian Talents

Due to the power of your blood, you can stand confidently amid the effects of spells cast by you or your allies. You have +1d to your defences against spells that you or an ally casts.

Bloodrage

Cost: 25 Character Points
Prerequisite: Blood Sanctuary and 7 Other Barbarian Talents

Upon entering a rage, you can apply the effects of a spell that you know to yourself. The spell must have a range of touch or self. If the spell’s duration is greater than 1 round, it instead lasts for the duration of the rage. This use consumes mana as if you had cast the spell; you must have mana available to take advantage of this effect.

Greater Bloodline

Cost: 50 Character Points
Prerequisite: Bloodrage and 10 Other Barbarian Talents

Your connection to your bloodline is strengthened. You gain additional abilities when raging.

Abyssal

Once per round, when you hit in melee, you can choose to exude a burst of hellish flames in a 10-foot radius centered on you. Make a spellcasting attack roll vs all creatures within 10 feet of you. On a hit, each creatures takes 2d10 + your spellcasting attributy modifier in fire damage, or half as much damage on a miss.

Divine

When you rage, you manifest a pair of spectral wings on your back, gaining a flying speed equal to your walking speed.

The affinity that you chose for the source of your divine power determines the appearance of the spectral wings: eagle wings for good or law, bat wings for evil or chaos, and dragonfly wings for neutrality.

Additionally, as a bonus action you can emit a pulse of divine energy, casting your affinity bonus spell on all creatures adjacent to you, at the cost of a single point of mana.

Draconic

When you rage, you sprout a pair of dragon wings from your back, gaining a flying speed equal to your walking speed.

You can’t manifest your wings while wearing armour unless the armour is made to accommodate them, and clothing not made to accommodate your wings might be destroyed when you manifest them.

As a bonus action, you can beat your wings. Make an unarmed strike vs each creature adjacent to you. On a hit, they suffer your unarmed damage and are knocked prone.

Elemental

When you rage, you gain special movement based on your element.

Element	Movement
Earth	Burrow speed equal to walking speed
Air	Flying speed equal to walking speed
Fire	Double walking speed
Water	Breathe underwater and swim speed equal to walking speed

Additionally, you can briefly transform your body and any possessions you are carrying into pure elemental form, allowing you to fit through gaps as small as one inch.

Giant

You gain the ability to channel the souls of your ancestors into your physical form.

When you rage you can increase your size by one category as Enlarge/Reduce. Additionally, each round you receive 1d12 + your Constitution modifier in temporary stamina. When you shove a smaller creature, you push it 10 ft away from you, and when you grapple a smaller creature you can use it as an improvised melee or thrown weapon, dealing bludgeoning damage equal to the creature’s recovery die, plus your Strength modifier. Both the creature you are using as a weapon and any creature you hit with them take this damage.

Shadow

You see normally in dim light and darkness, both magical and non-magical, as though it were brightly lit.

Furthermore, you gain the ability to step from one shadow into another. When you are in dim light or darkness, as a bonus action, you can magically teleport to an unoccupied space you can see that is also in dim light or darkness. You cannot use this ability if your bloodrage is the only source of dim light or darkness.
