Order of Crimson Binding

Esoteric Cult

Order of Crimson Binding

A lanky figure, his face little more than a constellation of stars under his hooded cloak, floats amid candle smoke coalescing into translucent, bestial spirits. The figure's hands each have two figures and a thumb extended as it summons the Vestiges of past heroes. This is the cover image of the Complete Binder.

The Order of the Crimson Binding sees the nature of the soul as not unlike that of the Void itself: unknowable, fractal, and ultimately hollow. With their special ritual implements and ink made of lodestone, they can form special red seals with which to entrap vestiges deeper into their souls, capturing more of the vestige’s essence and allowing them greater control of the binding process.

Flexible Rebinding

Starting when you join this cult at 3rd level, you can use your Rebinding feature twice, instead of once, between long rests.

Soul Transfer

Beginning at 7th level, you can transfer some of the damage you take to your vestiges. As a reaction when you take damage, you can halve the damage taken.
Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Ritual of the Crimson Brand

Starting at 10th level, you can perform a special ritual over the course of 10 minutes, allowing you to partially bind an additional vestige. You can only bind one vestige at a time using this feature, and this vestige doesn’t count against the number of vestiges you can bind nor toward the number of vestiges you have bound. While it is bound, you gain only the vestige’s Bonus Proficiencies feature, if it has one, or one of its Traits, if it offers the ability to replace a skill roll with a 10 or your binder level plus your Charisma modifier. You remain partially bound to this vestige until you finish a long rest.

Deep Binding

Starting at 14th level, the total level of vestiges you can have bound increases by 3.
