 : -Feigning dead while not at full balance will cause the users balance to drain.  This can be troublesome for low regia bloodmages and so for those mages it is extra worth considering getting a shieldstone.  It can provide survivability while also allowing balance to regenerate.

	: One of the three fighter specialty weapons, the Bloodblade (known also as the "BB") is considered by many to be one of the most powerful weapons in the lands, as well as the most controversial. The Bloodblade is a common dagger that has been imbued with a moonstone. The Bloodblade gains its power through Blood Magic, by drawing blood from its user and dealing damage in inverse proportion to its user's health. The Bloodblade does "a lot" of extra damage when you use it. a base amount, and a bump up if you're bloodblading—4ish darkus + up to 6, scaled based on your health."— Slarty. This lost health benefits the blade, the less remaining health the wielder has the stronger any training in the Bloodblade is. These fluidly accessible stats make a fighter who specializes in the Bloodblade a fearsome sight indeed, potentially able to contribute in hunts well beyond what their strength would normally allow, or even slay the toughest monsters with a single hit.		: One of the three fighter specialty weapons, the Bloodblade (known also as the "BB") is considered by many to be one of the most powerful weapons in the lands, as well as the most controversial.

	: Unfortunately, there are strict tradeoffs. Fighting while near the edge of consciousness means that one cannot bravely rush into combat like a traditional fighter. Even a single lucky hit can bring a blader down. A bloodmage's success with the blade is best correlated with the wielder's skill in situational awareness and risk management, as these are the factors that will keep them standing. The successful Bloodblade user needs quick responses and a deep understanding of the motion and rhythms of combat. For this reason, wielding a blade is often described as a dance.		: Unfortunately, there are strict tradeoffs.
