Characters pursue this class for one reason: To live and die for the sake of battle itself. Typically a Blood Knight will value her physical stats above her mental, though it is not unheard of one fighting with her mental prowess. It is difficult, but not impossible, for anyone not already devoted to combat to join the ranks of the Blood Knight, so while a [[SRD:Rogue|Rogue]] is not unheard of joining, it is more likely that [[Fighter, Tome (3.5e Class)|Fighters]], [[Barbarian, Tome (3.5e Class)|Barbarians]], and especially [[Knight, Tome (3.5e Class)|Knights]] would pursue such a career, with the occasional [[Ranger, Tome (3.5e Class)|Ranger]] cropping up.

All of the following are class features of the Blood Knight.
'''{{Anchor|Maneuvers}}:''' Every level in Blood Knight, you gain new Maneuvers or Stances as if you took a level in a class that already grants such an ability. If you did not already have such an ability, you may choose any three Disciplines and gain Maneuvers as a Warblade of your levels in Blood Knight using the Warblade's recovery method for your Maneuvers. If any of your chosen Disciplines' skills is not on the Blood Knight skill list, it is added to your list of Class Skills.
'''{{Anchor|All Fighting, All The Time}} ([[Ex]]):''' At 1<sup>st</sup> level , you are considered to be in Combat whenever it would be advantageous for you. As a side effect, any time new creatures enter a situation , you are allowed to consider it a new encounter for any effects that can be used a limited number of times per encounter or which refresh at the start of an encounter.
'''{{Anchor|Life of Combat}} ([[Ex]]):''' At 2<sup>nd</sup> level , you are never considered Flat-Footed for any reason and you act in any surprise round, taking actions as if it were a full round instead. In addition, the amount of time away from a fight to be considered out of the fight is only one round for you, instead of ten.
'''{{Anchor|Bonus Feats}}:''' At 3<sup>rd</sup>, 6<sup>th</sup>, and 9<sup>th</sup> level , you may choose a bonus Combat Feat. If you are not using Tome, you may choose a Fighter Bonus Feat that you qualify for , and levels in Blood Knight stack with levels of Fighter to determine if you qualify for a feat.
'''{{Anchor|Eye on the Prize}} ([[Ex]]):''' At 4<sup>th</sup> level , a roll of a 1 on an Attack Roll or Saving Throw is no longer an automatic failure and is instead treated as a 1. Once per day , you may elect to treat the roll of 1 as a roll of 21 instead and . You gain an additional use of this ability per day for every four more levelsyou have. (8<sup>th</sup>, 12<sup>th</sup>, 16<sup>th</sup>...)
'''{{Anchor|I Have Not Yet Begun to Fight!}} ([[Ex]]):''' At 5<sup>th</sup> level , a Blood Knight is Immune to any status effects that would cause her to stop fighting, aside from dieingdying. This does not make her Immune immune to a compulsion that would order her to fight her allies, but it would stop a compulsion with an order to stand down.
'''{{Anchor|I Declare War.}} ([[Ex]]):''' At 7<sup>th</sup> level , a Blood Knight can force open hostilities in all surrounding creatures. All creatures within 60' have their attitudes shifted to hostile towards whomever the Blood Knight designates. A Will save (DC = 10 + 1/2 Blood Knight's ECL + STR ) negatesthe effect. However, however avoiding mob mentality is tough. If more than half the creatures in range fail their saves, the ones that didn't must make another save with the same DC +2 per each creature that originally failed.
'''{{Anchor|Life May Cease, Battle Does Not}} ([[Ex]]):''' At 10<sup>th</sup> level , the Blood Knight stops aging and is never completely killed by any effect.
A week after being killed, the Blood Knight is brought back to life within 30' of her killer and must defeat the killer one on one, taking no actions counter to this objective. If the Blood Knight wins, she is free to act as she wishes. If slain in this battle, the Blood Knight returns again in one month to repeat the challenge.
Should her losing streak continue , she will return again in a year, then a decade, then finally once a century. If the killer dies in the intervening time, the Blood Knight challenges the closest living relative instead. When raised in this manner , the Blood Knight takes no penalty for the death(s).
The only other ways a Blood Knight may be revived are with a [[SRD:Wish|Wish]] or [[SRD:Miracle|Miracle]] spell , or if the killer is subject to a [[SRD:Remove Curse|Remove Curse]], [[SRD:Break Enchantment|Break Enchantment]], or [[SRD:Limited Wish|Limited Wish]] or [[SRD:Limited Miracle|Limited Miracle]] to remove the need to be challenged in which . In this case , the killer and his family are freed from being challenged, but ; the Blood Knight is still revived on the next time she is scheduled , but may act according to her own wishes.
The epic Blood Knight gains a bonus feat (selected from the list of epic Blood Knight feats) starting at 12<sup>th</sup> and continuing every three levels from then on. (15<sup>th</sup>, 18<sup>th</sup>, 21<sup>st</sup>...)
'''{{Anchor|Truly Epic BAB}}:''' Unlike other classes taking on Epic levels, the Blood Knight is so focused upon fighting that her BAB continues to rise by 1 each level, though she does not obtain 5 or more iterative attacks by going beyond +20. This is in addition to the +1 Epic bonus for every odd level past ECL 20.
''{{Anchor|Epic Blood Knight Bonus Feat}} List:'' <-The Blood Knight may choose from the Epic Bonus Feat list of bonus epic any class she has, adding her levels in Blood Knight to levels in that class to determine qualifications for these feats->. She must meet the prerequisites for these Epic Bonus Feats.
===Campaign Information===
'''CombatResources:''' <-Typical role in combat->Blood Knights are equally likely to fight each other as they are to fight alongside one another, and these situations are not mutually exclusive.
{{quote|<-Some quote from a character of this class->Round One. Fight!|4=<-NPC name->, <-race-> <-class->}}
'''NPC Reactions:''' <-How NPCs react that know what a Blood Knight is will generally attempt to characters of this class-> REMOVE THIS LINE WHEN YOU HAVE COMPLETED THE "convince the Blood Knight that there is something worth beating up far away from where they are right now.Usually, the NPC is right.. IN THE WORLD" SECTION -->
====Blood Knight Lore====
'''Adaptation:''' <-Fitting this class in your campaign->If you can't find a place for guys and gals who go around starting fights because they want to find a good fight, nothing I can write here can really help you.
'''Sample Encounter:''' <-DM placement for NPC A very archetypal Random Encounter if there was one, just have an unnamed Blood Knight challenge the most visually imposing member of this class->your party to a one on one fight.
