Prerequisite: The creature must be a beast Hit Points: The creature’s hit dice increase by 1 Salt Traits

Salt Shards: When the creature makes a successful attack, it deals an additional 1d6 Slashing Damage. Seaborn: The creature gains the ability to breathe underwater and their swim speed becomes equal to their highest speed if they do not already have a swim speed. Altered Appearance: Salt Beasts appear to be living collections of salt crystals formed into the creatures they are emulating, though they may appear to have more crystalized forms than their normal counterparts. A Salt Beast Shark may have smooth skin made up of finely ground down salt crystals with semi transparent salt crystal teeth filling its oversized maw, while a salt crab may scuttle along long thin crystalline legs with needle sharp tips that seem to glow with an odd inner light.

Ability

Valcora’s Favor. When the owner sacrifices a permanent hit point of blood onto the amulet, the salt crystal soaks up the blood and takes on a crim son appearance for seven sunrises. During that time, if more than half of the amulet is cast into a salt water sea located anywhere across time and space, the strange tides will notify Valcora herself that her favor is being requested, the individual who is requesting it, and the location they are in at the time of making the request. Valcora may then choose to respond as she sees fit. Description

A Blood Hook Summoner typically appears to be a hook-shaped amulet. They are crafted from sea salt and carved with the alchemical symbol for salt.
