Re: AD&D Sangromancer/Bloodmage Class
OK!
I always liked fiddling with the blood bond idea, granting buffs to willing participants. Usually these were healing buffs, but I also included some that increased defense. Like gaining damage reduction as your blood hardens like armor.
There were also fun spells that had could do major damage to a target based on the difference between their hit dice and missing HP. I called it "gore shower." The explosion could fear nearby enemies. It was gross, but also fun if you succeeded.
You could have some specialty blood bending, like blood clotting a person in the brain for an aneurysm.
I also made a form of self resurrection, where you could leave your current vessel (body) and latch on to something nearby. If you beat them in a contest, you control the body for a time until you reconstituted yourself or latched on to something else. It was really creepy.

Re: AD&D Sangromancer/Bloodmage Class
So the ability gains a increasing amount of dice to roll for each hit dice worth of how the enemy is missing. For example, if an enemy is missing 16 hit points and has 5d8 hit dice, you would add 2 dice two the attack, either d8s or whatever dice you decide to give the ability.
So if the base ability dies 3d8, you add the 2d8 and rill 5d8.

Re: AD&D Sangromancer/Bloodmage Class
You could make this a ritual for willing participants to gain benefits under conditions. When you activate the bond, each participant gets the associated benefits and costs... Which will probably be HP loss to be honest haha.
Think if it like a contract that players can sign for power, at a price..... Written in blood..... Dundundun

Re: AD&D Sangromancer/Bloodmage Class
New spells, sorry cdax if I misunderstood the blood bond thing, I changed it a bit from what you originally said, and everyone, please comment if you have suggestions for change!
lvl 5:
• Gore Shower
o The effected explodes in gore, causing a morale check for the other combatants on the enemy’s team, and dealing 1 of their hit dice+1 of their hit dice of damage for every hp equal to the hit die. For example, if there is a creature with d8 hit dice, with 5 hit dice, and it has taken 16 damage so far, it takes 1d8+2d8 damage, or if a creature with d6 for hit dice has taken 18 damage, it takes 1d6+3d6 damage.
o Casting time 3 segments
o Range 1”/lvl
o Duration instantaneous
o Can sacrifice 3 hp to increase damage by 1 of their hit dice damage
o Credit: cdax
lvl 7:
• Blood Bond
o The caster of this spell binds a person, themselves or another, with a permanent spell. The spell causes the bound to lose 8 max hp per level of the spell, and lose max hp too when sacrificing for the spell, equal to the hp sacrificed. This spell can be dispelled at any time by the Sangromancer who cast it. To choose the spell that is bound, the caster must have it in memory, then the Sangromancer loses it afterwards. If the caster multi-classes with two magic using classes, this spell will effect their other spells as well.
o Casting time 144 turns(1 day)
o Duration permanent
o Range 1”/lvl
o Cannot be boosted

Re: AD&D Sangromancer/Bloodmage Class
lvl 6:
• Death Possession
o If you would die with this spell in memory, you instead possess a creature within 1”/lvl by forcing your blood through their skin and in to them, and lose this spell from your memory. They get to make a constitution check once a day, and when originally possessed to force you out. If they succeed, you die. While possessing, you may spend 6 hours repossessing your body, bringing it back to life, and causing you and the possessed to need 1 round to recuperate. In relation to your stats while in the body of the possessed, they are figured out the same as the 5th level magic user spell Magic Jar.
o Casting time none
o Duration special
o Range self
o Cannot be boosted
o Credit: cdax
Now your spells go 5th 6th 7th

Re: AD&D Sangromancer/Bloodmage Class
This is just a quick 4th level utility spell
• Blood tool
o Make a tool from your own blood, be it a hammer, sledgehammer, lumber axe, pick axe, ect. This can be most anything that would be considered a tool, at the discretion of the DM, and are as good as the top unenchanted tools. Boosting this will only make the more of the same tool already made, and for small tools, such as hammers, will make 3 per spell/boost, and tiny tools such as lock picks will make 10 per spell/boost.
o Casting time 3 segments
o Duration 6 turns/lvl
o Sacrifice 3 hp to increase tools made by 1, unless they are small or tiny tools, in which case refer back to the spell

Re: AD&D Sangromancer/Bloodmage Class
Here's another 5th level spell
• Indoctrination
o The caster forces a summoned imp to grant blood powers to a willing pupil, making them a level 1 sangromancer as long as they fit the requirements. An imp summoned and bound by blood demon cannot normally do this, this is the only way to cause this to happen. The Sangromancer will be able to learn after this spell, but will not have the knowledge.
o Casting time 6 turns
o Range touch
o Duration permanent
o Ritual
o Cannot be boostedLast edited by Hubcat; 2017-11-06 at 12:16 PM.

Re: AD&D Sangromancer/Bloodmage Class
Also, I don't believe I've explained this before, but sangromancers become sangromancers when an imp or another demon turns a willing person into one, and teaches them the beginnings of Sangromancy. This can only be done once per demon, so getting one to do it is hard. If a Sangromancer is not made through the indoctrination spell, usually the imp will not do this unless a favor was done to them by this person, or if they believe the Sangromancer will become powerful, and will later come back and demand compensation, even in the form of servitude, for giving them these powers.

Re: AD&D Sangromancer/Bloodmage Class
New first level spell, and while this seems to be a bit powerful, I'd like to point our the only thing that makes this better than the cantrip Draw Blood is that this spell is faster, and is probably fast enough to cast it and one other spell in a round, so that you can cast it on an opponents turn.
• Fizzle
o The target’s spell fizzles, making them make a save versus spell or lose the spell from memory, and canceling the spell.
o Casting time 1/10 segment

Re: AD&D Sangromancer/Bloodmage Class
• Bug (reversible)
o The caster creates a magical bug, invisible to normal eyes, that through they can see and hear. This bug is stationary, and easily seen with detect magic and see invisibility. Any effects like see invisibility or detect magic on the caster will not transfer through the bug. You can only have one bug at a time, although a lesser wish will increase this number by one, and a wish by 5. The reverse will freeze the vision of the insect for 1 round per level, and cause it to detect no sound. After the duration ends, the caster will know that this happened.
o Duration permanent or 1 round/lvl
o Casting time 3 turns
o Range 0
o Cannot be boosted
This is 6th level, which might seem like a lot, until you realize that magic mirror in a 4th level magic user spell, which doesn't allow sound, takes forever to cast, and doesn't last long, plus it can only see people.

Re: AD&D Sangromancer/Bloodmage Class
Of course, open to suggestions, here's a new 6th level spell
• Nightmarish Terror
o The caster sends themselves into a dream in a nightmarish form, and while in the dream, all the caster’s stats are equal to the caster’s intelligence. If the opponent sees the caster, they must make a moral check every round to not run. Whilst in the dream, the caster can teleport anywhere, has a plus 8 to hit and does a d20 with each hit. However, the target has any usual combat gear/spells they have. The caster’s health is double in the dream. This spell can target any one the caster has met in the same plane as the caster, and the target must be asleep. If either die, they actually die. This spell lasts until the caster or the target dies.
o Duration Special
o Casting time 3 turns
o Range N/A
o Sacrifice 5 max hp to only wake up if you die in the dream, this hp can only be restored by a lesser wish or a restoration spell
Sorry for posting less, I'm really running out of ideas for spells, please post some below if you want to see more posts, you don't need to know the system, simply give an idea and let me handle the statistics.

Re: AD&D Sangromancer/Bloodmage Class
• Sustain
o The caster sustains the target’s health, keeping them fed, hydrated, and not in need of shelter. This spell keeps the target from getting hungrier, thirstier, too cold, too wet, or too hot. This will not protect from lava, cone of cold, fireball, or the likes, but will protect them from exposure. This will also keep them oxygenated at high altitudes.
o Casting time 3 segments
o Duration 12 turns/lvl
o Range touch
o Can sacrifice 3 hp to add a target
4th level spell here, this one is one of the rarer utility spells, and can be quite useful at higher levels, at level 12 a 4th level spell and some hp a day can keep your entire party safe in almost any extreme conditions.

Re: AD&D Sangromancer/Bloodmage Class
• Doors
o The caster makes all doors within range extremely annoying to pass through. To everyone but the caster, doors opened within range of this spell will have a door behind it, and this will repeat up to as many doors as the caster’s level. If the caster leaves a door open, this effect does not take place, and unless something is jammed in the door way, doors will shut behind anyone that walks through. Each cater can only have one of these spells active at any time, and can only be cast in a place the caster considers to be home. This will not affect magical doors.
o Duration permanent
o Casting time 12 turns
o Range 0
o AoE 5”/lvl
o Cannot be boosted
Just a quick 5th level spell to protect your keep

Re: AD&D Sangromancer/Bloodmage Class
Hey everyone! Not sure about everyone else, but today is my first day back from winter break. I took a bit of a break from Sangromancing, but now I'm back! I have a new 6th level spell, Sense:
• Sense
o The caster senses the world around them, making themselves aware of every crack, crevice, and creature. The caster is aware of everything within the range, every shape and creature. Water or other liquids will disrupt the sense, so if a chest were placed under water, the caster would not know it was there, but would know that some kind of liquid was there. Creatures that are not almost completely liquid or jelly do not count as liquid. Magical protections against scrying prevent detection, but invisibility does not.
o Duration 1 round/lvl
o Casting time 1 turn
o Range 0
o AoE: 1” radius from the caster
o Sacrifice 3 hp to increase duration by 1 round
I hope everyone had a great break, or is still having a great break, please leave comments or posts to give ideas, ask questions, or critique! This thread has been a bit quite lately, so I would be excited to get new ideas for spells and the like.

Re: AD&D Sangromancer/Bloodmage Class
Here's a bit of a gross one, at 3rd level
• Gorge
o Flesh to mouth, mouth to life, you eat your enemy’s flesh. This can only be done to physical and dead foes, and adds their total life to your current life, but this won’t restore you past full life. This process takes 1d4 rounds per hit die of the enemy, and the healing won’t take place until after they are completely eaten, except for equipment and bones. This will also protect from eating poison creatures. The spell lasts until dispelled or until after eating the creature. Cannot eat undead.
o Casting time 3 segments
o Duration special
o Range touch
o AoE: One creature
o Sacrifice 5 hp to add another creatures body to the spell, this will also extend the spells duration until all creatures are eaten.

Re: AD&D Sangromancer/Bloodmage Class
I think it's probably best if bleeds duration was now 1 round per level, because other wise, at 5th level when you can cast it, you sacrifice only 4 hp to deal 60 damage over 10 rounds, so now it would be sacrifice 4 hp for 30 hp over 5 rounds.

Re: AD&D Sangromancer/Bloodmage Class
• Shorten(Reversible)
o The target becomes permanently 2 inches shorter. This can be continually cast until the target is nothingness. This spell’s verbal component is so unnoticeable that unless a detect magic is going, it won’t be noticed. Every round, those around the target must make a wisdom check at -18 to notice this difference, and a +1 for each 2 inches shorter they are. Even if noticed, unless they are noticeably shorter, it is unlikely to be any cause of alarm at first, and if they are a king or the like, it is unlikely they will be told. Telling a king he is short is a bad idea. A Restoration spell will restore all height taken off by this spell, or the reverse of this spell will restore 1 inch/lvl, but this won’t increase past the original height.
o Casting time 1/10 segment
o Range 1”
o Duration permanent
o Cannot be boosted, generally spraying your own blood everywhere is a dead giveaway something’s wrong.
This one is a 4th level spell, for those who are assassins, I guess.
