When you discover the truth that your blood is teeming with life, you can take this move when you level up:

FECUND BLOOD

When you intentionally cut yourself and let your blood pour onto the ground, it rapidly congeals into a nasty little monster. Every point of damage you deal to yourself gives the thing +1 Loyalty or +1 point in a hireling skill of your choice. It will dry out and die after a few hours.

After you’ve taken Fecund Blood, you can take the following moves when you level up:

TRAUMATIC BIRTH

When you take damage in a way that causes your blood to spill onto the ground, you create a hireling. Every 2 points of damage you take in this way translates into 1 point of Loyalty or Skill.

HOMECOMING

When you spend a minute devouring one of your freaky little blood-children, you recover a number of hit points equal to their Loyalty + their Skills. If you do it in a hurry, you only heal half as much, and you make a terrible mess.
