Bloodied Feats

What is the Bloodied status? A character or creature is bloodied when it's hit points are equal to or less than one-half the character's maximum hit points, rounded down. For example, a character with 50 hit points has a bloodied value of 25, and is bloodied whenever the character's HP is equal to or less than 25.

-Bloodied is an old game mechanic once used in 4th Edition D&D, that I believe deserves more attention.

Arcane Fortitude

*Prerequisite- a class that uses spell slots and can cast spells

You have exceptional mental strength when at low health & facing great adverstiy.

When you become bloodied , as a reaction you can recover a spell slot. The spell slot's level is equal to = (Your Full caster level divided by 2) ... OR... (Your Half-Caster level divided by 4)

If your character is Gestalt or MultiClassed, add the Full caster + and Half-caster levels together using the equations above to equal= the spell slot level recovered.

Example: A 6th level Wizard(3) and 4th level Paladin(1) could recover a (4th) lvl Spell Slot.

This ability is usable once per long rest.

Bloodied Surging Rage

*Prerequisite- The Barbarian Rage feature

As your life force dwindles, you feel a rushing surge of adrenaline course throughout every muscle, making you faster and stronger.
