By killing an animal of at least one hit die in a ritual fashion, you may use that energy to aid another. At the culmination of the sacrificial ritual, the subject gains temporary hit points equal to one-half the hit point total of the sacrificed animal, a deflection bonus to AC equal to +1 per hit die of the sacrificial animal, and a bonus on attack rolls equal to +1 per 2 hit dice of the sacrificial animal.

A person can draw benefits from only one sacrifice, mortal sacrifice or sacrifice of power spell at a time.
