Sacredflesh

Sacredflesh are saints and martyrs whose wounds sing with sanctity. Their blood is not a curse but a conduit: when they are harmed they can channel the pain into healing for others, turning their suffering into sanctuary. Sacredflesh are often at the center of violent pilgrimages, battlefronts, and plague wards — their mere presence steadies allies and unnerves foes. They are neither purely cleric nor paladin; they trade portions of their own vitality to keep others whole, thriving through sacrifice rather than dominance.

Class Features

Sanctified Blood (Level 1)

Beginning at 1st level you are chosen by a small, holy compulsion in your blood. When you take hit point damage, you can choose to 'shed' that pain outward: every ally (including yourself) within your Shedding Aura immediately regains hit points equal to half the damage you took (rounded down). You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum once). You regain all uses after a long rest. Allies that would be healed above their hit point maximum gain temporary hit points instead, equal to the leftover amount (max equal to your Wisdom modifier + your proficiency bonus).

Grace Points (Level 1)

You gain a pool of Grace Points that power many Sacredflesh abilities. At 1st level, you have a number of Grace Points equal to 4. You normally expend Grace Points to fuel advanced techniques. You regain all Grace Points on a long rest. (Many features change this maximum as you advance; treat 4 as a baseline if a DM desires simpler bookkeeping.)

Shedding Aura (10-foot) (Level 1)

At 1st level you project a faint, sanguine aura in a 10-foot radius centered on you. Allies within the aura benefit from many of your blood-healing effects. The aura moves with you and can be suppressed or restored as a bonus action.

Martyr's Boon (Level 2)

At 2nd level you gain proficiency in Wisdom (Insight) and Medicine checks when treating dying creatures. In addition, when you spend a Grace Point to heal an ally, you may expend 1 additional Grace Point to grant that ally advantage on their next saving throw before the end of your next turn.

Order of Saints (Subclass) (Level 3)

At 3rd level you dedicate yourself to an Order of Saints, which shapes your later gifts and grants unique abilities.

Channelled Hematology (Level 5)

At 5th level your shedding becomes more controlled. You can now spend Grace Points to convert a portion of your incoming damage into concentrated healing you direct. When you take damage, you can spend 1 Grace Point to convert up to half of that damage (rounded down) into hit points you immediately distribute among creatures within your Shedding Aura (you decide the distribution).

Expanded Aura (Level 6)

At 6th level your Shedding Aura grows to a 15-foot radius and becomes easier to share: you can expend 1 Grace Point as a bonus action to anchor your aura to an ally within 30 feet; while anchored, that ally radiates the aura as if it were centered on them. The anchor lasts for 1 minute or until you dismiss it.

Sanguine Resilience (Level 11)

At 11th level the pain you bear fortifies you. When you use Sanctified Blood or Channelled Hematology and end with less than half your hit points, gain resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage until the end of your next turn. Also, your Shedding Aura increases to a 20-foot radius.

Saint's Vigil (Level 14)

At 14th level, when you expend a Grace Point to heal or grant temporary hit points, the target also gains a small steady regeneration: they regain 1d4 hit points at the start of each of their turns for a number of rounds equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum 1). This regeneration ends early if they take radiant damage or drop to 0 hit points.

Martyr's Ascendance (Level 18)

At 18th level, your willingness to suffer for others strengthens your miracles. Once per long rest, when you would be reduced to 0 hit points you can instead drop to 1 hit point and immediately activate an Apotheotic Shedding: every ally within 60 feet heals for an amount equal to your hit point maximum and is freed of one condition of your choice (blinded, deafened, poisoned, stunned, paralyzed, or restrained). After using this feature you are stunned for 1 minute as your body recovers (you may allow allies to stabilize you early with healing equal to half your HP maximum).

Awakened Relic of Blood (Level 20)

At 20th level, you become a conduit of saintly sacrifice. Your Grace Points maximum increases by 3. All your blood-healing abilities scale: all healing they provide is treated as if cast at a spellcasting ability equal to your Wisdom modifier + your proficiency bonus (for purposes of effects that refer to spellcasting ability). In addition, once per long rest you may cast Apotheosis of Sacrifice (see Transformations) without spending Grace Points.
