The Bloodstone
The bloodstone is a grey gem set grasped by a miniature silver claw. If the bearer intentionally sacrifices a drop of his blood to the bloodstone while holding it near his neck it immediately turns blood red and a reddish cord encircles the neck of the bearer. Thereafter the bloodstone acts as a necklace and cannot be removed voluntarily (it may not be removed involuntarily) without a DC 25 fortitude save (the wearer takes 1d6 points of constitution damage from blood loss whether or not the save is successful and those incapable of taking the constitution damage are destroyed). While worn, the bloodstone grants its wielder a +10 enhancement bonus to Constitution and fast healing equal to their (newly improved) Constitution bonus + 1. In addition, the bloodstone duplicates any damage (including other numerical damage such as level loss and ability damage though the wearer must actually be harmed by the damage) the wearer takes for later discharge. As a standard action, the wearer may channel any amount of stored damage into a melee touch attack against a single target which may make a Will save to halve this damage. However, any channeled energy is first inflicted upon the wearer again before it may be used in this touch attack and thus the wearer may only channel as much energy as they can withstand (to channel any energy they must again be capable of being harmed by it). All stored energy is lost if the wearer of the bloodstone is destroyed or the bloodstone is removed (the stone reverts to it's greyish nature).
Despite it's gruesome requirements and history the bloodstone is not evil and thus may be used by anyone.
Vampires and other creatures sustained by blood are freed from this requirement for as long as they wear the bloodstone and it is charged.
History: The bloodstone was created by a powerful vampire haemomancer who was searching for a way to become autonomous. His efforts were successful with respect to not requiring blood, but he was not successful in negating his weakness to the sun. Rather than negating the suns damaging effects on him the bloodstone simply stored the damage and he was completely destroyed as a result.
NOTE: The bloodstone is an item from DotA.
