Sorcerous Origin: Blood Magic (+ 2 spells)
Added 2025-06-11 21:06:45 +0000 UTCA generous patron of the D&D arts requested a blood sorcerer. After taking a couple of days to think up suitable features, I was able to write it up.
This patron also requested a related spell or two, so I created a couple blood-themed spells to go with the subclass: bond of blood (a 2nd level spell) and exsanguination field (a 3rd-level spell).
Comments
1. Yes, the caster can bond themselves to multiple other creatures at the same time. The spell does not necessarily tell you which bonded creature is in which direction, nor which one may have been hurt. That's just a risk you'd take bonding yourself to more than one target. A wise caster is careful with how many people they bond themselves to. 2. I'd say the spell could be on any class list you want using blood magic to link creatures. The argument could be made that it fits a lot of different classes, or you could limit it to specific subclasses that deal with blood magic or close bonds between creatures.

Does this mean you could bind yourself to a lot of other creatures? If so, can you pick out the different ones and know which one was harmed / where they are, or just that SOMEONE you are bound to in X direction is hurt? 2, what classes (aside the obvious Sorcerer) would have this on their spell list?
