''Blood for blood. Life for life.''

This grotesquely depraved shamanistic magic item is a small, glowing heart surrounded by an open ribcage set in the centre of a large, disk-shaped pendant. It seems to beat and throb with unholy fervour whenever blood is drawn.

The ''ravenous blood idol'' is the most powerful variant of [[Blood Idol (3.5e Equipment)|blood idol]] and functions identically, except both the benefit and the drawback are greater still. While the ravenous blood idol's curse is active, you have 3 less [[SRD:Hit Points|hit points]] per [[SRD:Hit Dice|HD]], but as long as the idol is worn around the neck you regain 5 [[SRD:Hit Points|hit points]] every time you draw blood from a living creature. You cannot regain more hit points than you deal damage, so if you do less than 5 damage you regain hit points equal to the damage dealt instead.

While the idol is worn, you gain the benefits of the [[Vita-Retention (3.5e Feat)|Vita-Retention]] feat even if you don't meet the prerequisites.

The ravenous blood idol holds 10 ''blood charges'' that function similarly to the blood charges of the [[Grave Blood Idol (3.5e Equipment)|grave blood idol]], though they are gained at a rate of 1 for every 20 [[SRD:Hit Points|hit points]] regained over your maximum.

*''{{Anchor|Blood Buff}}:'' At a cost of 1 blood charge as a [[SRD:Free Action|free action]], you greatly excite the blood within your own body, granting you a +4 bonus to [[SRD:Strength|Strength]] and [[SRD:Dexterity|Dexterity]] and rendering you [[SRD:Haste|hasted]]. These effects last until the start of your next turn.
*''{{Anchor|Blood Heal}}:'' At a cost of 1 blood charge per [[SRD:Round|round]], you gain [[SRD:Fast Healing|fast healing]] 10. Turning this ability on or off is a [[SRD:Free Action|free action]].
*''{{Anchor|Blood Drain}}:'' At a cost of 5 blood charges, you make a touch attack as part of a [[SRD:Standard Action|standard action]] that sinks your fingers into the target, directly drawing its blood and vital force into your body. This functions as a ''[[Greater Vampiric Touch (3.5e Spell)|greater vampiric touch]]'' effect that deals 15d8 points of damage.
*''{{Anchor|Bloodstrike}}:'' At the cost of 1 blood charge, you fire a bolt of coagulated blood from the idol's heart that deals 4d6 points of [[SRD:Magic Weapons|magical]] [[SRD:Piercing Weapon|piercing]] damage as an attack action. The bloodstrike is a ranged touch attack with a range of 30 feet, and inflicts 2 points of [[Bleedout (3.5e Condition)|bleed]] if the target takes at least 1 point of damage from it. If the target suffers [[Bleedout (3.5e Condition)|bleedout]] as a result of a bloodstrike attack, you instantly recover 2 blood charges. One or more bloodstrikes can be used as part of a full attack.

Prerequisites: [[SRD:Craft Wondrous Item|Craft Wondrous Item]], ''[[SRD:Bestow Curse|bestow curse]]'', ''[[SRD:Bull's Strength|bull's strength]]'', ''[[SRD:Cat's Grace|cat's grace]]'', ''[[SRD:Haste|haste]]'', ''[[Greater Vampiric Touch (3.5e Spell)|greater vampiric touch]]''.<br />
Cost to Create: 50,000 gp, 4,000 EXP, 100 days.
