Prerequisite: 5th-level Blood Hunter
As an action, you invoke this Rite as you combine a drop of your blood with a drop of blood from a willing creature you touch, forging a dark bond. While the other creature is within 60 feet of your, it is resistant to all damage. However, if this bonded creature takes damage, you take the same amount.
The effects of this Rite last for 1 hour, but it ends early if either you or the other creature are reduced to 0 hit points, or if you are more than 60 feet apart for more then 1 minute.
You can only enter into one such bond at a time. Using this Rite with another creature instantly ends the previous bond.
Empowered Bonding. The effects of this Blood Rite last for 8 hours, and only end early if either of you is reduced to 0 hit points or is more than 1 mile apart for more than 1 hour.
