[[Summary::Convert your damage to vile damage and heal yourself whenever you kill a foe, but at the expense of becoming a bit more fragile.| ]]
All damage you inflict from any source is converted to vile damage. All damage from weapon attacks is increased by 2 die (for instance, from 1d10 to 3d10), and your critical multiplier is increased by 1. You regain hp equal to ¼ of the damage you inflict with any weapon attack other than a sacrifice or [[Gate Knight (3.5e Class)#Dark Blow|dark blow]]. Any creature that you kill while this sacrifice is active is utterly impossible to revive, even with [[SRD:Wish|''wish'']] or ''miracle'', as you consume its soul and destroy it to feed yourself and your Gate. Consuming a soul in this fashion restores hp to you equal to the victim's CR &times; 10 and doubles the amount of EXP that you earn. However, you do not gain this benefit if you kill a foe that does not have a soul (such as most constructs) or whose soul is not inside its body (such as a lich). In the latter case, you do gain the benefit if you destroy the container holding the soul. If you kill a creature inhabited by a soul that is not its own (such as a victim of a [[SRD:Magic Jar|''magic jar'']]), you consume the soul of the possessing creature instead of the soul of the creature you felled, instantly killing the possessing creature and preventing it from being revived; the soul of the killed creature goes on to the afterlife as normal, and can be revived.

For all of the fearsome power this sacrifice grants, it does have a heavy cost. While this sacrifice is active, your AC is reduced by 4 and you have [[Damage Susceptibility (3.5e Creature Ability)|damage susceptibility]] 3/not self-inflicted. Your Constitution is also reduced by 2 points, to a minimum of 1. This effect remains active until you dismiss it.

'''Maximum HP Penalty:''' &minus;40.
