Cruorchymist

Cruorchymists see their blood as just another tool for their experiments.

They use this blood to create new life that can be commanded to serve the cruorchymist’s goals.

Diminished Poisoning: A cruorchymist doesn’t gain the poison use, poison resistance, poison immunity, or swift poisoning class features.

Blood Familiar (Ex)

A cruorchymist has created a homunculus from basic materials and their own blood. The homunculus takes the shape of a Tiny humanoid. It functions in all ways as a familiar, treating the cruorchymist’s alchemist level as their effective wizard level. If a cruorchymist wishes to replace their blood familiar, they can reduce the cost of the replacement ritual by taking 2 points of Constitution drain for every 100 gp they wish to forgo.

At 3rd level, if the cruorchymist has the infusion discovery, a blood familiar can deliver extracts that have a range of touch for its cruorchymist master.

This replaces mutagen. A cruorchymist can never gain the mutagen, cognatogen, or inspired cognatogen ability, even from a discovery or another class.

Blood Treatment (Ex)

A cruorchymist can give up some of their blood to restore their blood familiar. As a swift or Immediate Action, a cruorchymist can take a number of points of Constitution drain. Their blood familiar heals 1d6 hit points for every 1 point of Constitution drain the cruorchymist inflicts upon themselves in this way.

This replaces Brew Potion.

Blood Augmentation (Ex)

At 4th level, a cruorchymist can provide more of their blood to further enhance their blood familiar. As a Swift Action, the cruorchymist can take 1 point of Constitution damage to provide their familiar with an animal aspect for 1 minute, treating their alchemist level as their hunter level. The cruorchymist takes 1 additional point of Constitution damage for every minute they maintain the animal aspect beyond the first. At 12th level, the cruorchymist can select two animal aspects for their blood familiar instead of one, taking 2 points of Constitution damage for every minute that they maintain both animal aspects.
