View source for Blood Warlock (3.5e Prestige Class)

===Campaign Information===

====Playing a Blood Warlock====

'''Combat:''' Blood warlocks typically play roles in combat similar to their original spellcasting class. However, a blood warlock can often out-perform individuals of their original class of an equal level, but at a cost in blood (either their own or someone else's).

'''Advancement:''' Blood warlocks typically should complete this class. Afterwards, they should take another prestige class with full casting, or just jump back into their original casting class -- after all, they're spellcasters, and their class features stay level-appropriate anyway. Because, you know, ''spells''.

'''Resources:''' Blood warlocks typically work alone -- a mixture of their highly-different training and methods, as well as general public dislike of the nature of their abilities and their source, means that any gathering of blood warlocks, however altruistically-minded, tends to attract mobs and witch hunters far too quickly. However, a blood warlock can typically expect another blood warlock to help them, provided it doesn't endanger them much.

====Blood Warlocks in the Game====

A blood warlock is likely to be encountered much like any other spellcasting prestige class, or any high-ranking member of their original class. For example, clerics which take this class tend to follow deities who are related to or connected with blood. Because of the somewhat-sinister associations with their powers, blood warlocks tend to make themselves a lot less public, however -- assuming they're not reveling in that reputation.

'''Adaptation:''' Some GMs are going to rule that blood warlocks have to be evil -- and this is a possible interpretation of this class. It is also possible to reflavour this as 'soul magic', which draws upon soul energy rather than blood, with some adjustments.

'''Sample Encounter:''' People are likely to encounter Faith Antunes either working on some project of hers, or possibly just wandering around with her bug friends. She isn't overly-hostile and typically would rather talk than fight, but can be very dangerous when provoked.
