Base Features[]

Bloodseeker's Cursed Lineage

The corrupt power of vampirism runs deep within a bloodseeker. Through a dark rite or an unspeakable pact in ages past, his ancestry was infused with night-gifted powers. A bloodseeker must have an evil alignment.

Starting at 1st level, he is treated as undead for the purposes of channel energy effects.




Keen Senses

At 1st level, a bloodseeker gains the scent ability with a range of 10 feet and a +2 profane bonus on Perception checks.

At 6th and 12th levels, the range increases by 10 feet and the bonus increases by 2.

Nocturnal Abilities

A bloodseeker's connection to his cursed lineage allows him to manifest some incredibly powerful effects.




Blood Pool

At 2nd level, a bloodseeker gains a blood pool of points which he can use to amplify his powers and use spell-like abilities. The blood pool contains 2 points at 2nd level and increases by an additional point for each level thereafter. The pool is replenished after resting.

The DCs of blood pool abilities are equal to 10 + half the bloodseeker's level + his Intelligence modifier.




Bloodlust

Starting at 2nd level, whenever a bloodseeker kills an enemy, his attacks become more efficient. For each enemy slain, he gains a +1 bonus on attack and damage rolls until the end of combat. This bonus stacks and cannot exceed half the bloodseeker's Intelligence modifier.




Sharp Teeth

At 2nd level, a bloodseeker gains a secondary 1d6 bite attack (1d4 if the bloodseeker is Small) that allows him to drain blood from living victims. Whenever the bloodseeker confirms a critical hit with it against a living target, he replenishes 3 points of his blood pool.




Growing Thirst

As the bloodseeker's curse grows stronger, his attacks become increasingly likely to carve through enemies with devastating blows.

The threat range of the bloodseeker's bite is increased by 1 at 4th level and by an additional 1 at 8th, 12th, and 16th levels.





Vampire Bite

Staring at 9th level, whenever a bloodseeker deals damage to a living target with his bite attack, he can drain energy from this target. The bloodseeker gains 5 temporary hit points, and the target receives a temporary negative level. These temporary hit points and negative levels stack.




Carrion Form

A bloodseeker can transform into a swarm of undead ravens and hunt for blood using his blood pool abilities and swarm attacks. While in this form, whenever he deals damage to an enemy with his swarm attack, he replenishes 1 point of his blood pool. The transformation consumes 1 point of his blood pool.




Master of Blood

At 20th level, the bloodseeker's lineage makes his blood pool abilities even more powerful. His blood jet and cone of blood abilities become empowered and bolstered, as though using the Empower Spell and Bolster Spell feats. Furthermore, his blood pool increases by 5 points, and the bloodseeker gains a +6 profane bonus to Strength, Dexterity, and Intelligence.
