[3.5+ToB/PF +DSP/PoW] GitP Regulars as Maneuvers!

[Extra Anchovies]

I give permission. Can't imagine I rank higher than a first or second rank maneuver.

I don't know if I've interacted with you much on the forums, but your name gave me inspiration.

Crimson Necrosis
Sandbox Goliath (Strike)
Level: 1st
Initiation Action: 1 standard action
Range: Melee
Target: One creature
Duration: See text

Your blade strikes deep, leaving an ugly wound in its unlucky target.

As part of this maneuver, you make a single melee attack. If this attack hits, the target's wound bleeds rapidly, dealing an addition 1d4 damage per round for a number of rounds equal to 1/2 your initiator level, rounded up. This effect ignores damage reduction, but can be stopped by receiving one or more points of healing or with a DC 20 heal check (which can be made as a full-round action). A creature afflicted with this condition who attempts to make the heal check themselves does so at a -5 penalty. Using this strike against a creature already affected by another instance of Crimson Necrosis does not cause the damage to stack; instead, it extends the duration of the effect by a number of rounds equal to 1/2 your initiator level.
