*Blood, Revenge, Implacability*
**Prerequisites:** Sanguine Transference feature or the ability to cast at least one spell from one of the following schools: affliction, healing, or necrotic
Vicious Vein practitioners harness their own blood along with a vengeful determination to prevail against their foes. They learn to control their blood in supernatural ways in the blink of an eye, bolstering their resilience, enhancing their attacks, and even creating projectiles from their own vital fluids.
**Note:** Several maneuvers from this tradition require the expenditure of hit dice. If you do not have unused hit dice available, you cannot use those maneuvers until you regain sufficient hit dice to pay the cost of those maneuvers.
