You can create one creature for every four levels (so a 20th-level cleric could spawn five of these creatures). Each blood protector created costs one hit point’s worth of shed blood. Blood protectors appear human, but have no distinct features; their bodies are clearly composed of fresh blood, although somehow held together in largely solid form. The warriors appear to have armor molded to them, and each one wields a shield and either a spear or short sword (your choice). These warriors count as constructs – they are immune to critical hits and mind-affecting spells, and soon. They do not have names, personalities or any sense of self, and are just intelligent enough to follow orders. After the spell fades, or if they are destroyed, they revert to drops of blood.

Material Component: The caster’s fresh blood.
