(Archetype) Your life is in my hands Blood knights are veritus champions from the world of Volwryn Originally a cabal of orcish invokers, these champions gave their lives to be reborn in the bodies of crusading humans With their newfound power, the blood knights went on to become some of the most dangerous champions to travel that world Armor Proficiencies: Blood knights are proficient with all types of armor (light, medium, and heavy), but not with shields This alters the veritus champion’s armor and shield proficiencies Runeforging (Ex): Blood knights pay their blood debt with runes specially crafted during their morning ritual At 1st level, when a blood knight fills his blood debt each morning, he can immediately dedicate 12 of those points to a single two-handed melee weapon or split between two light or one-handed melee weapons he wields This functions as sheathed in blood, except the bonuses last until the next time the knight fills his blood debt As he gains levels, a blood knight can dedicate more of his blood debt to his weapons with runeforging, in the same way a veritus champion improves his weapon through sheathed in blood Beginning at 12th level, a blood knight can take minutes to change the enhancement bonuses and weapon properties applied to his weapons using this ability, so long as the resulting total is the same This time can be spent in conjunction with scourge of volwryn (see below) This alters blood debt and sheathed in blood Bone Shield (Su): As long as a blood knight has at least 12 points of his blood debt dedicated to his

knight can take minutes to tap into the soul of Volwryn from across any planar boundary to transform his power over undeath into something else When he does, the blood knight becomes his choice of a

knight can convert points of his blood debt as a standard action and release one of the weapons to which he has dedicated points of blood debt to fight for him This functions as the dancing weapon

weapons he wields He can this once per day at 15th level, twice per day at 18th level, and at will at 20th level This replaces blood possession Frost Knight (Archetype) Your soul is mine to keep Years
