''Blood for blood. Life for life.''

This shamanistic magic item is a shrunken head in blood-rusted chain, its eyes casting an ominous glow whenever blood is drawn.

The grave blood idol is a more powerful variant of the [[Blood Idol (3.5e Equipment)|blood idol]] and functions identically, except both the benefit and the drawback are greater. While the grave blood idol's curse is active, you have 2 less [[SRD:Hit Points|hit points]] per [[SRD:Hit Dice|HD]], but as long as the idol is worn around the neck you regain 3 [[SRD:Hit Points|hit points]] every time you draw blood from a living creature. You cannot regain more hit points than you deal damage, so if you do less than 3 damage you regain hit points equal to the damage dealt instead.

The grave blood idol furthermore has additional abilities when you 'overdraw' blood. Whenever you draw the blood of a living creature while being at full health, you gain one ''blood charge'' for every 10 [[SRD:Hit Points|hit points]] you would otherwise regain. The grave blood idol can hold a maximum of 5 charges with which it can channel some limited magic.

*''Blood Buff:'' At a cost of 1 blood charge as a [[SRD:Free Action|free action]], you excite the blood within your own body, granting you a +2 bonus to [[SRD:Strength|Strength]] and [[SRD:Dexterity|Dexterity]] that lasts until the beginning of your next turn.
*''Blood Recovery:'' At a cost of 1 blood charge per [[SRD:Round|round]], you gain [[SRD:Fast Healing|fast healing]] 3. Turning this ability on or off is a [[SRD:Free Action|free action]].
*''Blood Drain:'' At a cost of 3 blood charges, you make a touch attack as part of a [[SRD:Standard Actions|standard action]] that sinks your fingers into the target, directly drawing its blood and vital force into your body. This functions as a ''[[SRD:Vampiric Touch|vampiric touch]]'' effect that deals 5d6 points of damage.

Prerequisites: [[SRD:Craft Wondrous Item|Craft Wondrous Item]], ''[[SRD:Bestow Curse|bestow curse]]'', ''[[SRD:Bull's Strength|bull's strength]]'', ''[[SRD:Cat's Grace|cat's grace]]'', ''[[SRD:Vampiric Touch|vampiric touch]]''.<br />
Cost to Create: 5,000 gp, 400 EXP, 10 days.
