Curse Luck from Blood 9 would be kind of interesting. Ability to NEGATE LUCK, on thugs/SCs... that's good.

I definitely think Life Drain for Blood 9 is VERY thematic and actually very very nice.

Personally I think the blesses go very well with the spells. Sorcery paths are typically very powerful and have weaker blesses while elemental paths have stronger blesses but fewer powerful spells. I'm not sure if it's meant to be that way or not.

You can't make D9 give fear 0, it's just too strong. I think death and astral blesses are fine the way they are. Air bless on the other hand - I think precision would be interesting for that.

What if B9 gave some form of blood vengeance? Would it be too strong?

That would be nicely thematic but I'd be worried about it being tooooo nice...

I think if it was limited in some way it would be pretty sweet.

Maybe if it were just 1-3 points of life drain per hit, or something like that.

Right now its capped at weapon damage and not str damage correct? Possibly just do a fraction of weapon damage.

In my mind I saw the drain life as being half as efficient as the same level regeneration bless since it provides re-invig and can be quickened.

Since I just realized the implications of quickness, it would either have to be just base weapon somehow (no eq) or capped at 1-3 pts of damage. Would be crazy to have a blessed SC with quickness, gloves, bird, etc and getting 20 drain life attacks ON TOP of standard weapon/item damage.

I can live with the astral bless as s9 is powerful in and of itself and both the minor and major blesses are useful in most cases.

I'm not a fan of the death major bless at all, and the minor one is a bit unwieldy.

Air major bless sucks, minor could be changed as well but is thematic and somewhat useful. Even 20% airshield helps with semi-nekkid sacreds (jags)

Blood minor is fine if bleh, Major needs a major rehaul.

Precision bonus or Haste would make sense for Major Air.
