The Bloodrager
A Bloodrager powerful goliath wielding a man-sized axe leads his charging warband against their invaders. As the parties are about to clash, the goliath unleashes an ear-shattering shout as his arms and weapon erupt into bright flame. Despite the heat, the warrior is uninjured as he directs the flame into an whirlwind of embers encompassing his foes. A dwarvish gladiator finds himself facing an impossible monstrosity in the arena he has come to know so well. The beast charges and leaps towards their prey, but as it closes in, a bright array of cobalt scales appears on the exposed skin of the fighter and two great wings erupt from their back. With a roar, the dwarf takes to the sky, and the beast crashes to the ground finding no target. A firbolg wanders her forest home, seeking the aberrations that have been defiling it. Finding their corrosive forms destroying a holy grove, the wanderer focuses the power of nature in her blood. Great tendrils of woody growth extend from her restraining the horrid creatures as she dashes forward swinging her quarterstaff with abandon. Some heroes learn magic through intense study, some are loaned the power by diety or nature, but a rare few gain their power through their ancestral blood. Bloodragers are warriors who tap into the energies contained within their arcane blood to enter a rage-like state where the full potential of their inherited power is unleashed into their attacks and spells. Ancestral Power While many ferocious combatants can tap into a deep reservoir of buried rage, bloodragers have an intrinsic power that seethes within. Like sorcerers, bloodragers’ veins surge with arcane power. While sorcerers use this power for spellcasting, bloodragers enter an altered state in which their bloodline becomes manifest, where the echoes of their strange ancestry lash out with devastating power. Through their inherited power, bloodragers can cast some arcane spells instinctively. The bloodrager’s magic is as fast, violent, and seemingly unstoppable as their physical prowess. Arcane Blood Like barbarians, bloodragers use their physical might and inherent power to charge into danger to keep their people and their allies safe. A bloodrager may leave their home for a number of reasons, and, due to their abilities, they will find themselves naturally suited to a life of adventure. From their barbaric roots, bloodragers are accustomed to a life of constant challenge and peril, and are often loathe to settle down and let their inner power lie dormant. In an adventuring party, bloodragers take the frontline, using their mighty attacks and savage magic to overwhelm foes and draw attention away from their allies. The presence of a bloodrager is hard to ignore, especially when their arcane power is unleashed in a bloodrage. Creating a Bloodrager The most important question to consider when creating your bloodrager is the origin of your power. When you make your character, you choose the nature of your bloodrager's arcane blood, such as a draconic ancestry or raw elemental power. However, you also choose the details of your power's origin. For instance, is it a blessing, passed down to you from distant ancestors? Or did some extraordinary event leave you blessed with inherent magic but perhaps scarred as well? Consider what drove you to leave your old life behind in favor of adventure. Were you cast out due to fear of your power? Or perhaps as a rite of passage to become a true warrior? Do you feel a longing for your old life and a deep connection to your people? Or are you running from your past and plan on cutting all ties? Consider as well your motivations for adventure. Are you seeking the origin of your power in order to reconnect with your ancestry? Or do you intend to end the blood curse that has plagued your family for generations? Are you simply accustomed to the life of a wanderer? Or would you like to settle but find it difficult to be trusted in civilized society? Quick Build You can make a bloodrager quickly by following these suggestions. First, Strength should be your highest ability score, followed by Charisma. Second, choose the outlander background. 2 This is unofficial Fan Content permitted under the Fan Content Policy. Not approved/endorsed by Wizards.

Bloodline Transformations Bloodline features often involve transformations. Regardless of the transformation, your equipment continues to be worn or is integrated into your form so you retain all benefits from enchanted items, weapons, and armor. As a couple examples, AC bonuses from armor and shields are retained even in large forms that could not normally wear the armor, and magic items such as gauntlets, rings, or cloaks continue providing their benefit regardless of your transformation. For weapons, you may choose to either integrate a wielded weapon into your form so that you gain its magical properties for one of your transformed melee attacks (such as one claw) or continue wielding the weapon in your new form. Bloodrage Starting at 1st level, you fight with the primal energy of your bloodline. On your turn, you can enter a bloodrage as a bonus action. While bloodraging, you gain the following benefits if you aren’t wearing heavy armor: You have advantage on Strength checks and Strength saving throws. When you make a melee weapon attack using Strength, or cast a bloodrager spell that deals damage, you gain a bonus to the damage roll equal to your bloodrage die. This die increases as you gain levels as a bloodrager, as shown in the Bloodrage Die column of the Bloodrager table. You have resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage. Your bloodrage lasts for 1 minute. It ends early if you are knocked unconscious or if your turn ends and you have not attacked a hostile creature, cast a spell, or taken damage since your last turn. You can also end your bloodrage on your turn as a bonus action. Once you have bloodraged the number of times shown for your bloodrager level in the Bloodrages column of the Bloodrager table, you must finish a long rest before you can bloodrage again. While bloodraging, you are not able to cast or concentrate on spells except for bloodrager spells. Spellcasting At 2nd level, your bloodline powers manifest the ability to perform magic spells. 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. Spells Known of 1st Level and Higher You learn two 1st-level spells of your choice from the bloodrager spell list. Each time you gain a Bloodrager Level, you may learn one bloodrager spell and replace one of the bloodrager spells you know with another spell of your choice from the bloodrager spell list. Each of these spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots, as shown on the Bloodrager table. 4 This is unofficial Fan Content permitted under the Fan Content Policy.

Spellcasting Ability Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your bloodrager spells. 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 as a spellcasting focus for your bloodrager spells. Savage Magic At 2nd level, you can empower your spells with the raw energy of your bloodline at the cost of your own health. When you cast a bloodrager spell, you may choose to cast savagely. Doing so gives you advantage on the spell attack roll if one is required and gives enemies disadvantage on the first save they make to resist the spell. However, you additionally take damage equal to three times the level of the spell cast. Blood Sanctuary At 3rd level, the arcane power in your veins protects you from harmful magic. While bloodraging, you have advantage on saving throws against magical spells and effects. Intimidating Power At 3rd level, your natural power strikes fear into your enemies. You have advantage on intimidation checks towards creatures who have witnessed your bloodrage within the last hour. Ability Score Improvement When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can’t increase an ability score above 20 using this feature. Using the optional feats rule, you can forgo taking this feature to take a feat of your choice instead. Extra Attack Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the attack action on your turn. Fierce Caster At 7th level, your spells and weapon attacks become inseparable parts of your fierce offense. When you use your action to cast a bloodrager spell, you may make a single melee weapon attack as a bonus action. Sorcerous Rage At 11th level, your bloodrages are joined by a surge of magic. When you use your bonus action to bloodrage, you may additionally cast a spell that targets only yourself as part of that same bonus action by expending a spell slot of the spell's level or higher. If the spell has a duration of one minute or longer, it instead lasts until your bloodrage ends. Additionally, the spell must normally have a casting time of one action or bonus action. Unyielding Blood At 15th level, your bond with the mystic power in your blood becomes unshakeable. Once per long rest, when you fail a constitution saving throw to maintain concentration on a bloodrager spell, you may choose to succeed instead. Eldritch Rage At level 20, your raw arcane power is unleashed whenever you bloodrage. When you use the sorcerous rage feature upon entering a bloodrage, you may cast up to two spells that target only yourself, instead of just one. Each spell requires expending a spell slot of the spell's level or higher, and follows the same requirements and durations outlined in the sorcerous rage feature. 5 This is unofficial Fan Content permitted under the Fan Content Policy.

Bloodrager Bloodlines Bloodrager powers come from a variety of different sources, called "bloodlines". These different bloodlines describe the origin of your magical ability and provide various capabilities bestowed by your arcane blood.

You may perform all three as your attack action on your turn. Your claw attacks deal slashing damage equal 1d8 + your Strength modifier and your bite attack deals piercing damage equal to 1d12 + your Strength modifier. 6 This is unofficial Fan Content permitted under the Fan Content Policy.

Incorporeal Form At 14th level, your connection to undeath allows you to temporarily shed the shackles of your physical form. When you use this feature, you and your held equipment become incorporeal until the beginning of your next turn. During this time, you can pass through solid objects as if they were difficult terrain, and are resistant to all nonmagical damage. You may use this feature number of times per long rest equal to your charisma modifier.

Arcane Bloodline Unlike other bloodragers, your bloodline is not derived from a particular type of creature or being; instead, your blood is inherently coupled with the weave of magic permeating all existence. This gives you increased command over magic, including both your own spells and those cast around you. Forceful Power At 1st level, your melee strikes are infused with raw magical power. When you deal extra damage with your bloodrage die, you may choose to change its damage type to force. Arcane Sanctuary At 1st level, your blood connection to the weave allows you to protect yourself from harmful magic.

Caster Bane At 18th level, your bloodrages can disrupt the weave of magic around you. Once per long rest, when you bloodrage you may choose to create a 10 ft. radius antimagic field centered on yourself. This field lasts until your bloodrage ends and requires your concentration to maintain. This field has the same properties as a field created with the spell Antimagic Field. The one exception is that your own bloodrager spells still function as normal within the field. 12 This is unofficial Fan Content permitted under the Fan Content Policy.
