Bloodcloud Assailant[edit]
| “ | Why drink blood when you could breathe it? | ” |
| —Count Arachna, Vampire Illithid Bloodcloud Assailant | ||
Bloodcloud Assailants make a real mess of things. Once the battle gets going, all that can be seen is a cloud of red mist, sometimes with the artful silhouette of somebody disemboweling someone else.
Making a Bloodcloud Assailant[edit]
Bloodcloud Assailants make horrifyingly brutal melee combatants or horrifyingly brutal sneaky characters. Whichever it is they do, it is essential that they take full advantage of the microscopic red (or some other color) droplets filling the air.
Abilities: Strength and Dexterity are the most important abilities for Bloodcloud Assailants, with the balance between the two being dependent on what style of havoc you'd like to wreak. In some rare situations, having a high Charisma modifier can be especially convenient.
Races: Vampires and other blood-drinkers already have a certain fascination with blood that Bloodcloud Assailants appreciate.
Alignment: Any nongood and nonlawful.
Starting Gold: 3d4×10 gp (75 gp).
Starting Age: Simple.
Class Features[edit]

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Bloodcloud Assailants are proficient with light and medium armor and simple and martial weapons.
Clouds of Blood (Ex): Whenever the Bloodcloud Assailant deals 10 or more points of slashing or bludgeoning damage with a single attack against a target who has red blood, that target's space is filled with a Bloody Mist for 1 round per class level. Creatures with at least two squares of Bloody Mist between them and their observer gain concealment. Squares of Bloody Mist in the creature's or observer's space do not count.

Violent Mist (Ex): At level 2, once per round, when the Bloodcloud Assailant hits with an attack while standing in Bloody Mist, he may choose to deal 1d6 additional points of damage.

Refreshing Mist (Ex): At level 3, while standing in Bloody Mist, the Bloodcloud Assailant gains fast healing 1. This improves by 1 for every 3 additional class levels.

Hide in Plain Sight: An 11th level Bloodcloud Assailant can hide in Bloody Mist while being observed.
Concealing Mist (Su): A level 12 Bloodcloud Assailant constantly gains the beenfit of the blur spell while within Bloody Mist.
