Mystic Bloodline

At 1st level, you are already learning to harness the power carried in your ancestry. Your bloodline grants you features at 1st level, and again at 6th, 10th, and 18th level.

Blood Trance

Also at 1st level, as a bonus action, you are able to enter a state of profound focus in combat. This may take the form of a berserker rage, a holy meditation, or any other appropriate state. While in your blood trance, you gain the following benefits:

• Your attacks gain bonus damage, with the amount equal to one roll of your Blood Trance damage die and the type determined by your bloodline.
• If you are below half your maximum hit points, and have taken damage since the end of your last turn, you regain hit points at the start of your turn equal to one roll of your Blood Trance damage die.
• You can calculate your spell attack modifier and saving throw DCs using your Strength modifier.
• You can add half your Charisma modifier to your armor class.

While in your blood trance, you can't cast spells except spells granted by your bloodline. Your blood trance lasts for 1 minute. It ends early if you fall unconscious or if you choose to end it early as a bonus action. You can use it a number of times as indicated on the Bloodrager table, regaining all uses after completing a long rest. Your blood trance will gain additional benefits from your bloodline, and after 3rd level, from your discipline.

Spell Slots

The Bloodrager table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your bloodrager spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend a slot of the spell’s level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.

For example, if you know the 1st-level spell cure wounds and have a 1st-level and a 2nd-level spell slot available, you can cast cure wounds using either slot.

Spells Known of 1st Level and Higher

You know two 1st-level spells of your choice from the bloodrager spell list.

The Spells Known column of the Bloodrager table shows when you learn more bloodranger spells of your choice. Each of these spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For instance, when you reach 5th level in this class, you can learn one new spell of 1st or 2nd level.

Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the bloodrager spells you know and replace it with another spell from the bloodrager spell list, which also must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

Spellcasting Ability

Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your bloodrager spells. Your magic derives from your bloodline, which grants you innate magical power. You use your Charisma whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Charisma modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a bloodrager spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier

Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier

Spellcasting Focus

You can use an arcane focus or a melee weapon as a spellcasting focus for your bloodrager spells.

Gravemarked Bloodline

You bear a deathly curse, your heritage tainted by the stink of undeath. Perhaps you descend from a line of foul necromancers, or your ancestor crossed a mighty lich. Or maybe you yourself died and were barely brought back from the brink. Whatever the reason, your skin is pallid and your blood pumps slower than it ought.

Elemental Wyrm

At 1st level, select one color out of the chromatic and metallic dragon types. When your abilities refer to your bloodline damage type, they refer to the damage type associated with the dragon you chose. Your blood trance bonus damage is of that type.

Dragon's Scales

Also at 1st level, your skin is coated in scales reminiscent of your draconic ancestor. At 1st level, your hit point maximum increases by 1 and increases by 1 again whenever you gain a level in this class. Additionally, when you aren't wearing any armor, your AC equals 11 + your Dexterity modifier + your Charisma modifier.

When you reach 6th level in this class, you gain resistance to your bloodline damage type.

Draconic Presence

Also at 1st level, you are able to imitate the fearsome charisma of dragons. You gain proficiency in Persuasion or Intimidation, or another skill of your choice if you are already proficient in both.

Also, after you roll a Charisma ability check but before you know the outcome, you may choose to reroll the die and use the new result. You can reroll a check in this way once, regaining the ability after a short or long rest.

Draconic Bloodline Spells

Starting at 2nd level, you learn additional spells when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown in the tables at the end of the bloodline description. These spells count as bloodrager spells for you, but don’t count against the number of bloodrager spells you know.

Dragonrage

At 6th level, you can summon the fury of a rampaging dragon. While in your blood trance, you gain the following benefits:

• You gain a breath weapon, which you may use as an action or in place of one attack when you take the Attack action. All creatures within a 15-foot cone must make a Dexterity saving throw against your spell save DC or take 2d6 damage of your bloodline damage type. You can expend a spell slot when you use this breath weapon to increase its damage by 1d6 per slot level, but if you do so, you cannot cast a leveled spell on the same turn turn.
• As a reaction when you fail a saving throw against the charmed or frightened conditions, you may reroll it and add your Charisma modifier to the result.

Dragon's Wings

At 10th level, you can manifest draconic wings. As a bonus action or as part of activating your blood trance, you cause wings to erupt from your shoulders, dealing 2d6 damage of your bloodline damage type to creatures of your choice within 5 feet. For 1 minute, you gain a 30 foot flying speed.

You can manifest your wings in this way a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier, regaining all uses after a long rest.

Draconic Transformation

At 18th level, your draconic heritage manifests itself fully, bringing you as close to a great wyrm's power as a mortal might ever know. As an action, you can transform yourself for 1 minute. You gain the following benefits:

• Your Dragon's Wings manifest, without expending a usage. Their flying speed increases to 60 feet.
• You become immune to your bloodline damage type.
• Once per turn when you hit an enemy with a melee attack, you can force them to make a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC or become frightened until the end of your next turn.

You can transform in this way once, regaining the ability after a long rest.

Draconic Bloodline Spells

Chaotic Trance

When you enter your blood trance, roll 1d6 on the following table to determine your bloodline trance damage type.

Scholar-Savant

Also at 1st level, your innate magic grants you occasional flashes of knowledge. You gain proficiency in the Arcana skill, or another skill of your choice if you are already proficient. When you make an Intelligence (Arcana) check, you may treat a roll of 1 or 2 on the die as if it were a 20.

Wild Power

From 1st level, you pulse with magical energy which you can barely comprehend, but which you can unleash with a concentrated effort of will. As a bonus action, you may choose to draw upon this power. Roll 1d6, triggering one of the following effects for 1 minute according to the result.

You may only be under one of Wild Power's effects at a time; if you roll on the table a second time while under an effect, the first effect ends. You may use this ability once, regaining its use after a short or long rest.

Sorcerous Surge Table

Spark of the Divine

At 1st level, you carry within yourself a mote of celestial power, which you manifest with your attacks. Every time you hit an enemy of CR 1/4 or higher with an attack, you gain a charge of divine energy. You can hold a number of charges up to your proficiency bonus. As a bonus action, you can touch a creature and release any number of charges. The target regains hitpoints equal to one roll of your Blood Trance Damage die per charge spent. After a short or long rest, you lose all stored charges.

You can expend a total number of charges equal to your Charisma modifier + half your bloodrager level. This limit resets after you finish a long rest.

Blood of the Angels

Also at 1st level, your holy blood grants you special wisdom and protection. You learn the Celestial language, and are immune to nonmagical diseases.

Holy Rage

Your bloodline trance damage type is radiant.

Celestial Bloodline Spells

Starting at 2nd level, you learn additional spells when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown in the table below. These spells count as bloodrager spells for you, but don’t count against the number of bloodrager spells you know.

Divine Light

At 6th level, entering your blood trance suffuses you with a holy luminance. While in your blood trance, you have resistance to radiant damage, and can release a flash of holy light to blind your attackers. When a creature hits you with a melee attack, you can use your reaction to release any number of charges from your Spark of the Divine feature. The creature must make a Constitution saving throw against your spell save DC. On a failure, it takes 1d8 radiant damage per charge expended and is blinded until the end of your next turn. On a failure, it takes half as much damage and is not blinded.

Jotun's Blessing

At 1st level, select one kind of giant, out of Stone, Frost, Fire, Cloud and Storm. Your bloodline damage type and blood trance bonus damage are determined by the table below.

Jotun Resilience

Also at 1st level, the giant's blood running through your veins gives you tremendous resilience. Your hit point maximum increases by 1, and it increases by 1 again whenever you gain a level in this class.

Additionally, you can speak, read, and write Giant.

Jotun Bloodline Spells

Starting at 2nd level, you learn additional spells when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown in the table at the end of the bloodline description. You learn the shared spells and the spells matching your specific giantkind. These spells counts as bloodrager spells for you, but don’t count against the number of bloodrager spells you know.

Jotun Power

At 6th level, your blood trance channels the might of the giants. While in your blood trance, you gain the following benefits:

• Your size increases one category, up to Large. If there isn't room to become Large, your size doesn't change.
• Every time you hit with an attack using your Strength, you can reroll one of the damage dice. You must use the new result.

Additionally, you gain one benefit specific to your giantkind while in your blood trance.

• Cloud. Your jumping distance is tripled, and you are immune to falling damage.
• Fire. You first weapon attack on each of your turns deals additional fire damage equal to your Charisma modifier.
• Frost. Creatures that hit you with melee attacks have their speed reduced by 10 feet.
• Stone. You gain +2 to your AC.
• Storm. The first time you hit a creature with a melee attack on your turn, they take 1d6 additional lightning damage and lose their reaction.

Jotun Affinity

At 10th level, you gain resistance to your bloodline damage type. In addition, you gain a benefit specific to your giantkind.

• Cloud. You can see through smoke and fog, and gain advantage on all saving throws to avoid being pushed or knocked down by wind effects. Your thrown weapon attacks do not suffer disadvantage at long range.
• Fire. You remember secrets of fire giant forgecraft, and can modify a suit of armor to receive a +1 bonus to its AC. Only one suit of armor can have this benefit at a time.
• Frost. You can ignore difficult terrain due to ice and snow, and can't become restrained by ice or cold effects.
• Stone. You gain darkvision out to a range of 60 feet. If you already have darkvision, its range increases by 30 feet.
• Storm. You can cast gust of wind without expending a spell slot, regaining its use after a long or short rest.

Jotun Transformation

At 18th level, you can assume a giant form, properly resembling your jotun forebears. As an action, you can transform, gaining the following benefits:

• Your walking speed increases by 10 feet.
• Your weapon reach increases by 5 feet.

• You gain advantage on Strength rolls to grapple or resist being grappled.

You can transform in this way once, regaining the ability after a long rest.

Burning Rage

Your bloodline trance damage type is fire.

Tricky Devil

At 1st level, your heritage grants you a mysterious and unnatural charisma. You gain proficiency in Deception or Intimidation, or another skill of your choice if you are already proficient in both.

In addition, you learn the thaumaturgy cantrip, which counts as a bloodrager spell for you. When you cast it, you can choose to gain advantage on the next Deception or Intimidation check you make within 1 minute.

Fiendish Bloodline Spells

Starting at 2nd level, you learn additional spells when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown in the table below. The spell counts as a bloodrager spell for you, but it doesn’t count against the number of bloodrager spells you know.

Aura of Immolation

At 6th level, your blood trance awakens the hellfire that flows within your veins. You gain resistance to fire damage, and gain the following benefits while in your blood trance:

• When you cast a bloodrager spell that deals fire or necrotic damage, you can deal additional damage to one target equal to one roll of your blood trance damage die.
• Once per turn when a creature of CR 1/4 or higher dies within 10 feet of you, you receive a dark blessing. Your next attack, if it hits, deals bonus fire damage equal to your Charisma modifier.

Fiendish Resilience

At 10th level, you gain some of the defenses common to lower-planar creatures. You have advantage on saving throws to avoid being charmed or poisoned.

Additionally, as a reaction if you do become charmed or poisoned, you may call upon your ancestry to immediately end the effect. You can end a condition in this way once, regaining the ability after a long rest.

Brimstone Avatar

At 18th level, your blood pulses with corruption, and you can call upon it to become as fearsome as any fiend. As an action, you can transform yourself for one minute, gaining the following benefits for the duration:

• Your creature type is Fiend.
• Your walking speed increases by 30 feet.
• You are immune to the grappled and restrained conditions.
• The bonus damage from your Aura of Immolation ability increases to double your Charisma modifier.

You can transform yourself in this way once, regaining the ability to do so after a long rest.

Discipline of the Ravager

Ravagers are bloodragers who fight with brutality, dealing as much damage as possible. They are often heedless of their own health, willing to suffer grave wounds as long as they can inflict worse on their foes. They frequently specialize in great weapons, choosing the deadliest tool for the job.

Discipline of the Reaver

Reavers are frenzied attackers, subscribers to the notion that more attacks are always more effective. Their focus is typically oriented around one target at a time - rather than laying about with a great weapon, they tear through one target at a time.

Precise Striking

When you adopt this discipline at 3rd level, you learn to temper your aggression and instead rely on perfect control. While you are wielding a one-handed weapon and no shield or other weapons, you can add your Charisma modifier to your armor class.

In addition, when you roll for your blood trance bonus damage, you may choose to replace the die result with your Charisma modifier.

Singing Sword

At 7th level, your movements in battle become almost balletic. While in your blood trance, your movement speed is increased by 10 feet, and opportunity attacks against you are made at disadvantage.

Elegant Combatant

At 14th level, your refinement and control in combat carries over to the rest of your persona. You can double your Charisma modifier when making Charisma (Persuasion) and Charisma (Performance) checks.

Battle Meditation

At 20th level, combat becomes an art form to you, a performance that you intend to elevate to its highest form. When you activate your blood trance, you may choose to make it a Battle Meditation. If you do so, you gain the following additional benefits:

• Whenever an enemy misses an opportunity attack against you, you may immediately make an attack against them.
• As a reaction when an enemy would hit you with an attack, you may parry, forcing disadvantage on the attack.
• You can roll your blood trance bonus damage an extra time for the first attack you make against each enemy on your turn.

You can enter a Battle Meditation in this way once, regaining the ability after a long rest.

Discipline of the Tempered

Tempered bloodragers take self-discipline to an extreme. Their combat style stresses holding back, feigning weakness, before spotting the enemy's weakness and landing a sudden and decisive blow. Their abilities are nearly mythic, with the amount of force they can put into a single blow.

Discipline of the Bombardier

Bombardier bloodragers are reckless warriors, mad alchemists who brew potions and hurl grenades on the battlefield. They throw dangerous concoctions or empowering mists in turn, rarely taking much care as to who's on the receiving end. But as a result, they have perhaps more faculty than any other for suddenly changing the balance of combat, crippling multiple foes with a fearsome blast.

Feral Claws

At 3rd level, you can transform yourself, growing vicious claws to tear into your enemies. When you roll initiative or as a bonus action at any time, you can turn one or both of your hands into claws. These claws function as one-handed natural melee weapons that deal 1d6 damage on hit. The damage is either slashing or your bloodline damage type (your choice).

You cannot wield weapons or shields in transformed hands, but you can use them to grapple creatures. You can dismiss them as a bonus action.

Slashing Fury

Also at 3rd level, you can land a frenzy of furious blows on your enemy. When you take the Attack action and hit an enemy with your Feral Claws, you can make another attack with them at disadvantage as a bonus action.

Magical Might

Also at 3rd level, you can empower your claws with your magic. When you use your Feral Claws ability, you can expend a spell slot to empower them. If you empower them in this way, you can make attacks with them using Charisma in place of Strength. If you used a 1st- or 2nd-level slot, they gain a +1 bonus to attack and damage and the damage die increases to 1d8. If you used a 3rd- or 4th-level slot, the bonus increases to +2 and the damage die increases to 1d10. If you used a 5th-level slot, the bonus increases to +3 and the damage die increases to 1d12. This effect lasts for 1 minute.

Hunter's Instinct

At 7th level, nothing is able to keep you from dashing across the battlefield to new targets. You have advantage on ability checks and saving throws to avoid being grappled, and opportunity attacks against you are made at disadvantage.

Keen Senses

At 14th level, you are able to adapt your senses to match those of the beasts you emulate in combat. When you complete a long rest, select one of the following benefits:

• Keen Hearing. You gain advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on hearing.
• Low-Light Vision. You gain darkvision out to 60 feet, or if you already have darkvision, its range is increased by 30 feet.
• Peerless Tracking. You gain proficiency in Survival. If you are already proficient, your proficiency bonus is doubled for all Survival checks.

Battle Frenzy

At 20th level, you are able to enter a savage, unstoppable rage. When you activate your blood trance, you can choose to make it a Battle Frenzy. If you do so, you gain the following additional benefits:

• Your Slashing Fury no longer costs a bonus action to use, but you can still only use it once per turn on your turn.
• Your movement speed increases by 10 feet.
• If you deal damage with a spell of 1st level or higher, your Feral Claws gain bonus damage of that spell's type equal to your Charisma modifier until the end of your next turn.

You can enter a Battle Frenzy in this way once, regaining the ability after a long rest.

Arcane Blast

When you adopt this discipline at 3rd level, you gain the ability to channel bolts of power from your hands. Your Arcane Blast is a ranged spell attack with a 60/90 range, and deals 1d8 + your Charisma modifier damage on a hit of your bloodline damage type. When you take the Attack action, you can hurl Arcane Blasts in place of any number of attacks.

Specialized Blasting

Also at 3rd level, you gain new uses for your Sorcerous Swordplay, allowing you to modify your Arcane Blasts. As a bonus action, you can expend 1 use of your Sorcerous Swordplay feature to alter your Arcane Blasts in one of the following ways until the end of your next turn:

• Your Arcane Blast's range is doubled.
• You can change your Arcane Blast's damage type to force.
• The next creature you hit with an Arcane Blast must make a Strength saving throw against your spell save DC or be knocked prone.

Mystic Insight

Also at 3rd level, you gain an intuitive grasp of magical principles. You gain proficiency in Arcana or a bloodrager skill of your choice if you are already proficient. Additionally, you can use your Charisma in place of Intelligence when making Arcana checks.

Arcane Agility

At 7th level, your arcane blasts produce excess power, which you can use to propel yourself around the battlefield. Once per turn when you use your Arcane Blast, you can move up to 10 feet without triggering opportunity attacks.

Thaumic Investigator

At 14th level, you learn the spells detect magic, identify, and unseen servant. They count as bloodrager spells for you, and Charisma is your spellcasting modifier for them.

You can cast any of these spells a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier without expending a spell slot, regaining all uses after a long rest.

Mystic Trance

At 20th level, you can tap into a deep well of magical power, transforming yourself with arcane might. When you activate your blood trance, you can choose to make it a Mystic Trance. If you do so, you gain the following additional benefits:

• You can make one additional Arcane Blast attack when you take the Attack action.
• Your Specialized Blasting no longer costs a Sorcerous Swordplay use, and you can choose 2 options.
• You gain a 30-foot fly speed with hover. If you already have a fly speed, it increases by 15 feet and gains hover.

You can enter a Mystic Trance in this way once, regaining the ability after a long rest.
