Aspect
Bloodhand Lineage
Aspect of the Bloodhands, a wandering band of now-masterless mercenaries.
Counterattacking after receiving damage restores HP.
In the presence of a Bloodhand, any battlefield turns into a perilous hellscape. It's never long before a sea of spattered blood turns the whole scene red, only the Bloodhand standing unscathed.
Lord of Blood
Personal aspect of Jan of the Bloodhands.
Heals HP of spellbound foes and also boosts attack power.
This strength traces back to an ancient vampire, originally of the high blood of the Ghica family, and is wholly inappropriate for a warrior.
