A Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition Class Specialization.
I had been running for days. I was tired and on the verge of breaking down. The one that hunted me had not reveiled themselves as of yet. that is when I decided to fanlly stop running and face what had been hunting me for all this time. From the shadows, there appeared a woman, clad in the clothing of a priestess. She raised her mace and pointed at me:
Sondorn, Blood priest of of the sanguine lord
“In the name of my God, I have followed the beating of your heart across many lands. Your blasphemy has brought divine vengeance upon thee. Be ready to face justice by my hand!”
I simply collapsed. When I woke up, my training in the art of blood began. To feel the flow of blood in others is a religious experience all on itself. I welcomed the punishment, for my punishment was knowledge and relief.
Be it for the light or the dark, the blood domain lets you interfere in the blood flow of others, manipulating it to their benefit or their demise. While some are healers, other use the rituals granted by their deity or source of power to make veins burst or eyes bleed.

- As a bonus action, you can choose a creature within 60 feet that has suffered damage and gain knowledge of its damage resistances, damage immunities, condition immunities and vulnerabilities.
- When you miss with an inflict wounds spell, you do not loose the spell slot.
- By spending the whole ten minutes of the ritual in meditation, you can focus on a creature that you have seen within 10 days. If it fails a Wisdom saving throw against your spell DC, you know its location compared to you, as long as it is alive and on the same plane. You retain this sense for a day. You can only use this on one creature at the same time.
