(4d8+10)[bludgeoning] damage, DC 37 fortitude
Requirements The vitalia is Grabbing a creature
Effect The vitalia inserts some of its veins into the grabbed creature and pumps violently, rapidly exchanging the victim's blood with its own. Any diseases or poisons affecting the vitalia can be transmitted to the target creature, which must make a saving throw as though it had just been targeted with the original affliction. The inverse is true as well; the vitalia must successfully save against any diseases or poisons affecting the targe
Frequency once per day
Effect The vitalia pumps copious amounts of blood into the air, creating a cascading rain of vital fluids in a 15-foot area.
All creatures in the area are Concealed from one another. A creature that benefits from consuming blood (such as bloodseekers or vampires) gains fast healing 10 while in the area. While in the area, a creature taking persistent bleed damage cannot end that condition, even if it spends actions to attempt a flat check to do so.
The rain last
Foul occult magic, rare alchemical reagents, and copious amounts of spilled blood are the keys to creating a vitalia-also known as a heart horror-though thankfully the exact means of their creation has been long forgotten.
Now, most vitalias now come into being by sheer accident. This unusual life-form cannot live without regular contact with blood, much like how fish cannot live long outside of water. Because of this, vitalias are rarely found outside the lairs of mad alchemists or wizards, living in pools of the life-giving substance. Physically, a vitalia somewhat resembles a blood-red giant jellyfish, though it also bears some semblance to a giant human heart.
