Bloodletting Strike

5th-level shadow hand (strike)

Initiation Time: 1 action Range: Melee attack Duration: Instantaneous

Spinning your blade in a butterfly pattern, you deliver a dozen precise cuts in the blink of an eye. Blood flows from your foe's opened veins.

Make a melee weapon attack against a creature you can reach. The attack deals an extra 4d6 damage on a hit, and the target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or have its hit point maximum reduced by an amount equal to the necrotic damage taken. This reduction lasts until the target finishes a long rest. The target dies if this effect reduces its hit point maximum to 0. The damage type is the same as that of the weapon used to make the attack.
